WOOD MOISTURE MEASUREMENT
MEASURING WOOD MOISTURE
WITH PRECISE TECHNOLOGY
Measuring wood moisture is part of the daily routine in woodworking companies when handling the moisture-sensitive material wood. merlin® offers precise wood moisture meters for non-destructive capacitive wood moisture measurement to meet customer requirements to the letter.
“Made in Austria” stands for precision, innovation and robustness of all moisture meters from merlin®. High-quality measurement technology from merlin® is calibrated in accredited test laboratories.
merlin® also offers air humidification systems individually tailored to customer requirements.
WOOD MOISTURE MEASUREMENT
HAS MANY FACETS
Wood moisture is relevant for the handling of the hygroscopic raw material at any stage.
The optimal wood moisture plays an essential role during processing. At merlin®, customers can find wood moisture meters for:
- Raw wood
- Cuts
- Semi-finished products
- Veneers
- Parquet
- Furniture
- Windows
The moisture measurement of biomass such as wood chips, pellets or sawdust is also part of merlin®'s expertise.
