FORMATOR_The Way to a Perfectly Formed Wood Based Panel DE |

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides a detailed description of the GreCon FORMATOR, a system designed to optimize the formation of wood-based panels. It highlights the benefits, technical specifications, and functionalities of the system, emphasizing its role in improving product quality and reducing costs.

Key Benefits

Reduction in material costs, including wood, glue, and energy.
Improved product quality with more homogeneous panels and fewer rejects.
Enhanced processing capabilities for downstream operations like sawing and sanding.
Increased production speed and facility availability.
Extended service life of sanding belts and reduced logistic costs.

Breakthrough in Forming
The FORMATOR system automatically homogenizes material distribution using a combination of a segmented scalper and an X-ray scanner (DIEFFENSOR). This integration allows for precise weight measurement and regulation, leading to significant material savings and improved panel quality.

■■ Recipe Management In the product database any number of different panel types and production parameters can be stored. ■■ Steel Belt Protection Software that was specially written for the protection of steel belts allows monitoring of the fibre mat for undesired metallic or non-metallic foreign objects. Visual assistant functions support the operator in defining optimum threshold values for foreign object detection. When foreign objects are detected, the fast signal transfer to the machine control allows the use of steel belt protection measures (e.g. opening the discharge). An analysing function...
