At GreCon, Innovation is Our Tradition.

For 50 years, GreCon has supplied measuring and fire prevention systems to the wood based panel industry. GreCon measuring technology can measure thickness, weight per unit area, edge quality, raw density and raw density profile, delaminations, moisture, particle size, press pressure and temperature, formaldehyde emissions, and weight. They do this by using the latest technologies including ultrasonic, laser, infrared, microwave, photography, and x-ray. Here are some of the latest innovations.

New Measuring Systems

• FORMATOR for automatic mat optimization that provides homogenizes material distribution.
• THICKNESSCONTROL for reliable and accurate thickness measurement.
• STENOGRAPH for inline raw density profile that improves the quality feature of wood passed panels
• DELIMINATIONCONTROL series Blow Detection system with process optimizations option will deliver the maximum out of your panel production.
• With the GASANALYZER you get reliable formaldehyde emissions quickly that comply with EPA/CARB.
• DAX System provides density profile within a few seconds.
• The Microwave Moisture Meter with planar sensor is appropriate to measure wood chips and fibers.
• Foreign Object Detection CHIPINSPECTOR automatically separates foreign objects from raw material.

Prevent Fires and Explosions in Dust Collection Systems

GreCon Spark Detection and Extinguishing System is a preventive solution for dust collector fires and explosions. Material processing including sawing, sanding, drying, shredding, granulating and pelletizing can often cause sparks, which are typically the ignition source for fires and explosions in dust collectors and air filtration equipment. The GreCon spark detection system is designed to detect these hazards and extinguish sparks in the pneumatic conveying system before they reach dust collectors or storage bins.

Infrared sensors detect spark, embers or hot particles transported through ductwork to a dust collector, and an extinguishing device is then triggered to effectively extinguish the spark within milliseconds. Other countermeasures can activate alarms, abort and diversion gates, shutdown equipment, or trigger PLC actions. Factory Mutual Approved and outlined in NFPA 69, 654, and 664 standards

New innovations in Spark Detection & Extinguishing Systems

• The DLD 1/9 Spark Detector offers additional protection with the new intelligent detection technology (IDT). IDT not only identifies hazardous moving ignition sources before a fire breaks out, but the DLD 1/9 detector is able to differentiate between dangerous sparks or harmless incidence of extraneous light due to leaky/damaged pipes or an opening of an inspection flap.
• The new GreCon Intelligent Extinguishing Module (IEM) which reliably extinguishes sparks while also monitoring early wear recognition. The new smart GreCon IEM has sensors integrated into the extinguishing module to detect the wear of your nozzles while also monitoring low pressure flow to the nozzles. Thus, increasing plant and system availability with efficient planning of maintenance to reduce downtime. This innovative extinguishing system brings with it a number of advantages, such as: High-precision monitoring throughout the extinguishing process, Identification of blockages, Measurement
