INRAY® Scanner – Real-Time Biomass Moisture Measurement for Industry
INRAY® Scanner measures the moisture content of biomass and other solid materials in real time, directly from the material flow. The system provides continuous measurement data for process control, quality management and production optimization.
✓ Real-time moisture measurement
✓ No sampling or laboratory delays
✓ Continuous measurement directly from the material flow
Moisture Has a Greater Impact on the Process Than You Might Think
The moisture content of biomass naturally varies depending on the origin of the material, storage conditions and environmental factors. Variations in moisture can affect production efficiency, material quality and process stability.
In many processes, moisture information is still based on sampling and laboratory analysis. Although these methods provide accurate information, results are often available only after a delay of several hours or even days.
Process control requires information now – not tomorrow.
Real-Time Moisture Data from the Material Flow
INRAY® Scanner continuously measures the moisture content of the material on a conveyor or in another material flow, without the need for sampling.
The system is suitable for materials such as:
- wood chips
- bark
- biomass
- recycled materials
- side streams
Measurement takes place in real time during production.
How Does the System Work?
INRAY® Scanner uses X-ray measurement technology to determine the moisture content of the material.
The measurement is performed directly from the material flow without manual sampling. The system provides continuous measurement data that can be integrated with the plant's automation and reporting systems.
Benefits
Better process control – Up-to-date information on material moisture content.
More consistent production – Moisture variations can be addressed immediately.
Less sampling – Reduces the need for manual work.
Better quality management – Continuous measurement complements laboratory analysis.
Applications
Pulp and Forestry Industry
Monitoring the moisture content of biomass and side streams.
Energy Production
Real-time monitoring of biofuel moisture content.
Recycling
Moisture measurement of recycled raw materials.
Developed for Demanding Industrial Environments
INRAY® Scanner is based on X-ray measurement technology developed by Inray and used in industrial measurement systems for more than a decade.
The technology enables continuous moisture measurement directly from the material flow without interrupting production.
