Metris FlowScanner
Optimized process performance by knowing key parameters of the raw material
The Metris FlowScanner is a complete measurement solution for wood chips in large industrial quantities. It's the only instrument built to accurately measure the key parameters of all the raw material used in large industrial processes such as pulp, paper and bio-energy.
More than measuring the moisture
The dual X-ray technology reveals a range of data about the organic material on the belt such as moisture, dry mass flow, weight and foreign objects.
Moisture
Whether it is organic material or free water, snow, or ice, the FlowScanner delivers this fundamental property with high accuracy, in an instant.
Weight
The FlowScanner has two X-ray energy sources measuring across the full width of the belt, delivering wet mass flow rates. Together with the moisture measurement, the amount of bone-dry material in the process can be determined.
Foreign objects
Inorganic high density materials, such as metal or rocks, produce different signals on the X-ray detectors. A size limit can be set so that larger objects trigger an alarm for removal whilst smaller items are recorded only for review purposes.
Dry mass
The dry fiber mass flow is a very important measurement parameter to achieve a stable digester control. When used together with the moisture content, it is possible to optimize the balance between dry fiber, white liquor and liquids.
