The LDS200 is a rapid in-line, non-contact system for sorting green lumber by density and if required, by moisture. It will add value to your product and will allow you to easily meet the minimum grade requirements. The LDS200 allows mill operations to move away from visual sorting. This real-time process enables rapid decisions and more uniformity within batches of products, leading to a reduction in the overall failure and defect rates during drying and machine stress grading, resulting in improved grade recovery.

Features of the LDS200 include:

• Non-invasive, non-destructive measuring system installed in-line
• Scientifically tested to work with frozen lumber
• System has significantly fewer sorting errors than competing systems
• Measures the green wood density to an accuracy of +/- 8 %. (95% of pieces to comply).
• Self-calibrating
• Easy interface with sawmills' PLC's
• Up to 180 pieces per minute at 850mm (33 in.) lug spacing
• System runs under Windows-CE with additions for data capture and trend analysis
• Precision ± 3%
