MM 6000 - Inline Moisture Measurement with Microwave Technology

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides detailed information about the MM 6000 series, a range of inline moisture measurement systems using microwave technology, developed by Fagus-GreCon Greten GmbH & Co. KG. These systems are designed for precise and fast moisture measurement in various materials, unaffected by color, form, or density.

Key Benefits

Extremely fast and precise moisture measurement.
Independent of material color, form, and density.
Long-term stability and early trouble detection.
Available in contact (MM 6000) and non-contact (MM 6000 VS) versions.
Suitable for continuous and discontinuous material flows.

Technical Specifications

Dimensions vary across models, with the largest being 765 x 830 x 360 mm.
Product temperature range: +3 °C to +140 °C.
Ambient temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C.
Microwave power: < 20 mW.
Measuring range: 0 - 18% atro.
Repeating accuracy: ± 0.1%.
Product memory for up to 32 calibration curves.
ATEX approval for MM 6000 EX in zone 20.

Applications

Dryers: Regulate moisture at dryer outlets.
Forming Lines: Measure moisture in chip or fibre mats.
Star Coolers: Ensure panels meet moisture specifications.
Fibre Dryers: Measure dried wood fibres post-processing.

Specific Applications for MM 6000 VS / MM 6000 VS LMS

Suitable for endless materials like paper, textiles, veneer, and panels.

References

Used in the production of fibreboard, gypsum board, hardboard, OSB board, particleboard, mineral fibre, impregnated paper, and decor paper.

Support and Interfaces

Equipped with GreCon SATELLITE for online support.
Analog and digital outputs for data visualization and control.
