Inspection systems for the timber industry

Reliable, precise and user-friendly Metal detectors and separators from Mesutronic Why detect foreign bodies? Despite all safety precautions, the contamination of timber materials with metals is unfortunately a problem in every manufacturing company. The effects are often dramatic if these are not reliably detected and removed from the production chain. Damage to sawing systems or planers, fire hazards or the loss of supplier contracts are often the result of inadequate control systems. Why Mesutronic? For more than 30 years, we have been developing inspection systems with and for companies...

Log processing In round log processing, metal detectors are used to protect sensitive systems such as debarkers, saws or chippers. Metals in a natural product such as timber have different origins. These range from staples and nails to ammunition fragments. In timber yards, the octagonal METRON 05 CO metal detector offers the best way to maintain the cutting performance of the sawing system. In the best case, it is used after the debarker in order to ensure the highest possible detection performance. By this point superficial metals have often already been removed. This avoids unnecessary...

Residual wood processing Shredders for residual wood and bark are generally very robust. Smaller metal parts are usually no problem for these types of systems. However, under certain circumstances large nuts, sheets, hammer heads and similar can wear down hardened parts in the shredder due to heating and may pose a fire risk. Our systems ensure smooth operation over decades. The METRON 05 VT is the best solution for retrofitting residual timber on the vibratory channel. The system‘s unique design allows installation in the existing metal channel. Only a small cutout to hold the device is...

Wood chips and shavings Pre-shredded woods often need to be re-examined before further processing. For example, smaller metals should be detected in order to protect sensitive systems such as presses for plates or pellets. This is usually done in free fall, but examination in a pneumatic conveyor or on a conveyor belt is also possible. The QUICKTRON 05 A is used for the investigation of chips and wood chips in free fall. Depending on the type of application, in addition to round diameters of up to 400 mm, angular passages, for example of 1050 × 350 mm, are also available. The system...

Digital products and services The successful operation of inspection systems is no longer solely dependent on purchasing of the right product, but also on how well the system is connected to the people and machines in its environment. Mesutronic offers a wide range of support services that increase the integration of our products. Depending on the type of electronics used, our systems can already provide information as standard via analogue signals, various bus systems or Ethernet. Information is received by either controllers, process control systems or other, higher-level machines along...

mesuREMOTE allows our service specialists from Kirchberg im Wald to access any connected system, often avoiding time-consuming on-site deployment. Communication is secured according to current IT standards, encrypted and takes place solely after approval by the customer at all times. All of this can additionally be secured on the hardware side via a key switch. This means that any uncoordinated manipulation of systems by Mesutronic or third parties is reliably excluded. The electronic autoTEST tester allows significant reduction in manual test cycles in devices of the 07 electronics series....

In order to reduce introduction barriers and ensure smooth, long-term operation, we recommend our training programmes. We offer a wide range of solutions, from simple operator training included with commissioning to multi-day events on our premises. As with our physical products, we strive to make training as efficient and economical as possible for our customers while still in the coordination phase. The content is recommended by us and then individually adapted to your needs according to the number of participants, their educational background or previous experience. We are also happy to...

Customer-specific projects Special challenges may arise in particular when retrofitting inspection systems into an existing production environment. The development of solutions for these tasks is one of the core competencies of Mesutronic GmbH. The ways shown range from simple consultation on the deployment of a standard solution in an unusual way, through smaller and larger modifications, to the complete, customised customer system. We focus on the permanent, reliable and economically optimal fulfilment of your requirements. This is made possible by our company‘s competent team of...
