MC Pro 1500 NC

SCS Transverse Sawmill Meter

In 2011, we introduced the MC Pro 1500 NC (non-contact).  The system replaces the contact system that was in use for over 10 years.  The MC Pro 1500 NC is still used in the sawmill to pre-sort green lumber for kiln drying. The system uses non-contact sensors below the wood to measure moisture and density to determine a dryability index number. Results are passed to the sorter so that wet or dry boards are aggregated for optimized kiln charges.

Benefits

  • Increases throughput
  • Improves final moisture content standard deviation
  • Proven repeatability of measurements
  • Simple integration to existing PLC sort lines
  • Non-contact sensors

Precigrader

Strength Sorting System

Precigrader is used in the sawmill to pre-sort green lumber for kiln drying based on strength rating.  The system uses vibration measurements (resonance frequencies) to establish a strength grade.  Results are passed to the sorter so that similar boards are aggregated for optimized kiln charges. 

Benefits

  • Bulk density is integrated for improved grading accuracy
  • Very few moving parts and no active components
  • Integrates with all SCSFP products
  • 210-220 lugs per minute

MC Pro 2400

Transverse Planer Meter

Using innovative digital pulse technology, the MC Pro 2400 takes multiple measurements of a board as it passes over its non-contact sensors. Sensors are arranged in a transverse configuration along the length of the board to measure final moisture content and identify wet spots for either drop-out or trim decisions.

Benefits

  • Non-contact sensors.
  • Background suppression eliminates the need for sensor calibration.
  • Easily integrates with auto-graders.
  • Advanced technology compensates for board warp
  • MC Pro 2400 maintenant disponible en français et en russe
  • MC Pro 2400 теперь доступны на русском и французском языках

MC Pro 2500

In-Line Planer Meter

The MC Pro 2500 automatically measures and reports moisture content in the planer mill using high-speed digital pulse technology. The non-contact sensor, configured linearly, measures moisture content, board temperature and vertical movement, assuring unsurpassed accuracy.

Benefits

  • Non-contact sensor.
  • Background suppression eliminates the need for sensor calibration.
  • Easily integrates with auto-graders.
  • Compensates for board temperature.
  • Compensates for vertical board movement.

Precigrader

Strength Grading System

Precigrader is an acoustic on-line strength grading system.  The system is installed in over 150 mills.  It is used to determine common commercial grades in North America, including 1650 and 2100.  A spring-loaded impact mechanism strikes the lumber as it passes.  The resulting vibration is captured by microphones to determine the appropriate MSR grade.

Benefits

  • Bulk density is integrated for improved grading accuracy
  • Very few moving parts and no active components
  • Integrates with all SCSFP products
  • 210-220 lugs per minute
