GreCon MATCONTROL HF for weight per unit area measurement

Weight per unit area measurement for industrial production processes

Measure material distribution precisely. Ensure quality. Save raw materials.

Even material distribution is crucial for product quality and the economical use of raw materials. Fluctuations in weight per unit area can lead to quality deviations, unnecessary material consumption, and increased rejects. With GreCon measurement technology, manufacturers measure weight per unit area directly during production and detect deviations early. Our measuring systems make material distribution visible and deliver precise data for quality control and targeted process optimization—up to and including automatic control of material usage.

Material distribution under control. Quality and costs in check.

Different materials and production processes call for suitable measuring methods. What matters is detecting fluctuations in weight per unit area early and controlling material distribution in a targeted way.

GreCon offers stationary, traversing, and full-surface measuring systems that deliver reliable data directly from the production process.

Control material distribution precisely: Detect fluctuations in weight per unit area in the machine and cross directions, monitor tolerances, and keep product quality consistent.
Use raw materials more efficiently: Control material allowances, reduce safety margins, and avoid unnecessary raw material consumption.
Detect deviations early: Make irregularities in material distribution visible. Full-surface measuring systems also enable the detection of foreign objects and local material defects.

Precise measurement data for controlled material distribution

Material properties, production processes, and the measuring task determine the most suitable technology. GreCon offers a range of measuring systems for this—from continuous weight per unit area monitoring to automatic control of material distribution.

Inline weight per unit area measurement

GreCon MATCONTROL

GreCon MATCONTROL measures the weight per unit area of mat products continuously and without contact using X-ray technology. MATCONTROL C enables stationary or traversing measurements. MATCONTROL HF captures material distribution in high resolution across the full surface.

This makes fluctuations in the machine and cross directions visible. MATCONTROL HF also detects foreign objects and local material defects. The measurement data provide the basis for targeted process adjustments and economical material usage.

GreCon FORMATOR

GreCon FORMATOR combines the full-surface weight per unit area measurement of MATCONTROL HF with a segmented SCALPER. Both systems work in a closed control loop: The measurement data control material removal via individually adjustable scalper rolls.

This automatically compensates for spreading fluctuations in wood-based panel mats, improves material distribution, and helps use raw materials more efficiently—while maintaining consistently high product quality.

Non-contact weight per unit area measurement with radar

GreCon FOAMCONTROL

GreCon FOAMCONTROL continuously measures the weight per unit area and thickness of foam and plastic materials during the production process. The measurement is performed without contact using radar technology. From both measured values, the system also calculates the material density.

This makes material deviations and inhomogeneities visible early. It enables targeted quality control, reduces unnecessary safety margins, and supports the economical use of raw materials.

GreCon FOAMCONTROL for non-contact weight per unit area measurement with radar — Not every material deviation is visible from the outside. GreCon FOAMCONTROL reveals irregularities inside the material and helps manufacturers respond early instead of discovering defects only in the finished product.
