mtgESCAN: Best-in-class. Up to 180 boards /minute.
Brookhuis mtgESCAN offers advances in machine strength grading to help you predict the best possible strength class. The mtgESCAN makes it easy to sort your wood products in defined timber or lumber grades, like the most common grades C18, C24, C30 etc.

mtgESCAN productline
Brookhuis offers a variety of strength grading options:
mtgESCAN 60: up to 60 boards per minute
mtgESCAN 120: up to 120 boards per minute
mtgESCAN 180: up to 180 boards per minute

How does it work?
The mtgESCAN system predicts the strength class of a wooden board moving on a cross conveyor by computing the dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (MoEdyn) and the Density (ρ)

MOEdyn = ρV2 with V = 2 Lf
ρ = density, computed from weight and dimensions measurement (optional)
V = longitudinal velocity
L = length of the board
F = frequency of the longitudinal vibration

A mechanical device hits the board in order to create a vibration which is measured by
a laser interferometer.
The density (ρ) results from the weight measurement (optional) and dimensions settings (either selected from a user interface or as input
for the existing production line).

The strength class is then predicted via a mathematical model.

A proven and reliable technique.
