Technical description
The GreCon-Raw Density Measuring System StenOgraph is intended for the in-line, real-time
determination of the Raw Density of moving wood-based materials directly at the outlet of a
continous press.
The measuring principle of the Raw Density Measuring System StenOgraph is based on a
combination of transmission and spread forward of x-rays.
A very tight marked-off x-ray permeates the cross section of the moving board in an ancle of 45:
A movable detector system absorbs the density depending scatter along the beamed on plane and
a static detector absorbs the transmitted radiation.
By combining both signals the Raw Density can be calculated directly at each point of the board
cross section, undependently of the circumjacant structure. By this means the total density and
also the partial volumes can be determined.

Technical description
Ultrafilter
Position: The pneumatic equipment is located on the side wall of the swich box for the X-
ray generator.
Function: The ultrafilter cleans the compressed air from solid particles and moisture.
Particles bigger than 40 µm (independent of the filter element), are held back
by a sintered filter. Liquids are separated by a special device and led into the
filter bowl. The condensed liquid collected in the bowl is let off from time to time
for not being transported with the air.
The finest filters (5) clean the control air nearly completely from the smallest
water and oil drops and diret paritcles still contained in the compressed air. In
this process the compressed air is filtered by 99,999% (based on 0,01 µm).
The filter control valve (3) keeps the operating pressure (secondary site)
constant, independent of pressure variations in the circuit (primary side) and the
air consumption. The admission pressure must always be higher than the
operating pressure.
Components: 1 = Input-sided screw joint
2 = Switching valve: for the ventilation of pneumatic units
3 = Filter with regulating valve and automatic purging of the condensed water
4 = Finest filter with automatic purging of the condenesed water: bigger
particles (up to 1 µm) are filtered by being hold back in fibre textures. They form
bigger drops that run off because of gravity.
5 = Finest filter with automatic purging of the condensed water
6 = Branch off module
7 = Output-sided screw joint

Mounting
Before installing the O-frame you have to check whether there are short
panel parts remain in the system after the guidance table has been
installed. If this is the case you might have to tanke corrective actions by
installing press-on rollers.
Do not remove one of the uprights. Thus, the O-frame might be damaged!
For the installation of the O-frame it is necessary to open the production system at the allocated
installation site. The required hole in the production system measures max. 500mm.
Position the O-frame carefully in this opening in the production system.
