Solutions for Wood Chip Plants
Calculation of Moisture Content and Energy Content in Wood Chips
The ScanX.Net Energy module manages the weighing as well as the calculation of moisture content and energy value of wood chips, facilitating accurate settlement between wood chip-fired heating plants and their suppliers.
Simple Handling
When the truck is weighed on the weighbridge, a sample of the delivered wood chips is taken. At the same time, the terminal prints a weigh ticket with an expedition number, which is attached to the wood chip sample. All data — weight, supplier, expedition number, etc. — is transferred to the Energy Calculation system in the Administration and linked with existing master data.
The sample is weighed on a laboratory scale, after which the data including weight, ID number, and expedition number are connected in the Energy Calculation system. The sample is then placed in a drying oven for 24 hours. After drying, it is weighed again, and the information is transferred to the Energy Calculation system, which compares it with the previously recorded data and calculates the moisture content and calorific value. This forms the basis for settling the respective delivery.
