FiberScan™ Microwave

Consistency Meter

The FiberScan™ consistency meter allows you to: • Troubleshoot drainage, retention & consistency

in forming sections; • Measure moisture content of TAD fabrics; • Evaluate the efficiency of the chemicals used in

the papermaking process, the drainage aids and the fabric cleaning;

• Conduct pulsation and vibration analysis through FFT manipulation of the MD moisture profile.

• With it’s sampling speed of 1024Hz, FiberScan™ is the fastest drainage meter on the market.

FiberScanONE™ Microwave

Drainage Meter: Advantages

• Harmless microwaves instead of radioactive sources are used to capture measurements. No radioactive hazard to the operator

• No licenses required to stock, transport or use radioactive materials. Easy domestic and international transport

• Improved readings, in both reliability and repeatability • FiberScan™ technology permits readings up to 48,000gr/m2 of

water (48mm), making not only suitable for paper, but also for pulp machines. Competitors struggle to get to 20mm

• Lightweight for ease of use, at 3,6kg FiberScanONE is the lightest portable consistency meter on the market.

• Patented principle for compensating for stock conductivity and charge changes, the unit is insensitive to stock chemistry

• OptiWave™ high speed FFT analysis of stock delivery and headbox pulsation, as well as foil activity.

Why 2 Instruments to Measure

Felt Permeability & Moisture?

• Service is very important, but an important cost element

too!

• 2 instruments to purchase for a complete felt

measurement set

• 2 instruments to maintain (and repair)

• Twice the number of accesses to the paper machine

position for each measurement, (safety!)

• Twice the time taken for each measurement

• Less accuracy (time elapse in between the measurements,

different machine conditions, different measuring spots);

• Complicated & time consuming to synchronize felt

permeability & moisture 3D mapping.

Reliability Matter.

Accuracy by Design

• World’s first portable instrument to include a moisture and

permeability meter, half time to measure, double safety.

Reduces dramatically the investment cost & maintenance;

• On-board FFT & Felt 3D mapping software;

• On-board exclusive “felt filling” algorithm to determine felt

clogging and wear bands;

• Data download directly on USB memory device, Excel, text

or proprietary formats;

• On-board accurate & personalized calibration curves to

compare values to other standard instruments;

• High speed USB port;

Reliability Matter.

Instrument Data

• Moisture sampling rate 1024 samples/sec. The world’s

fastest, the best resolution, when conducting FFT studies

• Water permeability sampling rate 256 samples/sec, 2,5

times faster than best competitor

• Accurate infrared felt surface temperature reading

• 2Gb memory, up to 17 hours of continuous measurements

• High contrast, 640x480 dpi low consumption LED back

light color display;

• IP 68 Protection level.
