In the process line of wood products like MDF / HDF, chip, OSB-boards, plywood or wood pellets, the exact measurement of moisture is of vital importance in almost every step of the production. A continuous and accurate moisture measurement in wood contributes to high product quality standard and allows quick adjustment in the production process. The wood products may be neither to wet nor to dry. If they are too wet, the quality and the velocity of the production is reduced; if they are too dry, energy is wasted.

TEWS solutions will help you streamline your processes and improve your end-product quality.

Moisture level is very important in plants such as cannabis or hemp, in order to ensure a good quality product, avoid microbial contamination, and many other reasons. 
When it comes to measure flowers, the shape and homogeneity of the measured products are always a little bit different, so it is highly important to measure not only moisture level but also density of the product.

To get the most accurate data regarding moisture and density, microwave is the best solution.
It is a good alternative from LOD, drying oven, Karl Fisher, or even NIR, as it is more accurate and way faster.
Our microwave powered solutions for laboratories or production lines enable fast measurements with very accurate results, in order to accelerate your processes and get the best out of your plants.

使用超高灵敏度传感器，我们可测量低至 1 Tex（1 克/1000 米长度）的纱线粗细变化。

自从 1998 年面世以来，微波技术几乎彻底取代 β 射线密度测量系统。此项技术具有安全、易用、无辐射源、更多水分信息和长期稳定等优点。

这是额外使用天平或微波测量的示例。虽然空胶囊水分和重量变化可达总质量的 10%，而成分只占总质量的一小部分，但也可测量胶囊内部成分。在装药前后分别测量每个胶囊，即可显示正确的成分含量。

The drying process is one of the most important and one of the most expensive production stage.  TEWS technology allows to optimize this process thanks to precise and continuous control of the moisture profile of the board. Sensors are installed directly in line on a fixed frames or on a traverse. Installation of the sensor on the travers allows to continuously check the moisture profile of the board over a length or width.

Thanks to results of the measurement it is possible to significantly reduce energy consumption during the drying process and guarantee the proper moisture level of the board.

The proper moisture of the boards and their proper storage, with the possibility of quick and non-invasive control of the board moisture in the warehouse, directly in the stack, minimizes the risk of product complaints.

 TEWS systems can also be successfully used to control wood fibre moisture, i.e. at earlier stages of production.

TEWS systems are used for continuous monitoring of the moisture content of paper and cardboard as well as corrugated board. Precise measurement of the moisture is possible also at high speeds of the production line (up to 300m/min).

Ensuring high quality of board, paper or cardboard requires constant and precise quality control of both raw material and finished product.

The reference method for measuring the moisture content of wood-based products is very labor intensive, and the time from sampling to obtaining the result is long and depending on the product properties is from 4 to even 24 hours. Cutting out a reference sample of appropriate dimensions, weighing the sample, exposure in the dryer (up to 24h), cooling in a desiccator, re-weighing and recalculating the result all these activities take a lot of time.

TEWS technology reduces the measurement time to a few seconds, there is no need to prepare the sample, and the measurement results are recalculated and recorded automatically.

Measurement with TEWS technology is precise and repeatable. As a result, these systems successfully replace the traditional moisture measurement method for wood fiber, cardboard, paper and all kinds of wood-based boards.  

Saving time directly translates into a reduction in the costs of product quality control.

With such a fast and accurate moisture measurement, the laboratory can intensify the number of measurements performed, ensuring precise control of a much larger product batch.

Saving 300 000 dollars a year? This is quite simply possible - and it is achieved by combining the two unique technologies of the market leaders Bühler and Tews. Cost savings, more efficient processes and energy savings will also be benefits for the company.

These impressive cost savings can be easily made: TEWS 'unique microwave technology is installed in Bühler's Moisture Pro to make the process even more efficient. With MoisturePro and TEWS moisture measurement technology sustaining a 1% increase in dryer discharge moisture content, a yearly yield savings of USD 300,000 is possible for a typical feed dryer operation. In addition, USD 20,000 in energy savings can be reached by eliminating wasted energy.

Where two experts come and work together, great results are achieved: TEWS 'unique moisture measuring system is installed in Bühlers MoisturePro Moisture Control, which is an intelligent drying solution for food and feed processors offering real-time, continuous moisture management. MoisturePro Moisture Control uses TEWS microwave sensor technology coupled with controls that use algorithms. The resulting comprehensive closed loop system delivers full time automated control of the dryer.
