Handheld Moisture Meters
Since water has a dielectric constant considerable higher than any other material, even a small amount of water in a product will cause the combination dielectric constant to increase substantially. Finna Sensors' capacitance meters can easily recognize this increase in water content and are programmed to display the result in direct reading percent moisture content.

Densigrader: Dynamic Weight Sorter
The Densigrader: Dynamic Weight Sorter is made for on-line mass/density measurements and sorting of green lumber prior to drying. The accurate mass and optional volumetric measurements provide an increase in grade recovery and kiln productivity. Its small footprint fits easily into most transverse, lugged transfer chains. System employs either RS232 or TCP/IP protocols to hand off data to sorting PLC.

Transverse HD Sawmill Meter
MC PRO 1500 HDNC
Finna Sensors built the Transverse HDNC Sawmill Meter to increase the number of potential sensors from 8 to 24. The sensors can now be specified to fit within chain runs and can be located on both the top and bottom faces. This significant increase in surface area allows mills to identify sapwood/heartwood boundary areas or wet pockets for proper sorting prior to kiln drying. Sorting by moisture content has been shown to improve drying productivity by 10% to 15%, as well as, enhance lumber recovery. Further advancements in the software allow users to track packages through the drying process, add Internet of Things (IOT) data and perform advanced analytics with new reports.

Sawmill Green Lumber Sorting System
The transverse sawmill meter sorts pieces into four moisture groups with similar drying characteristics by assigning a dry-ability index number. This critical first step in end-to-end moisture control improves kiln performance by reducing aggregate standard deviation and total drying time when compared to unsorted loads.
