What is the Umilog M65 Log and Firewood moisture meter?
Also known as Umilog, the M65 log moisture meter is the right equipment for measuring moisture in logs and firewood. It stands out in its category for using the contact measurement method, making it more precise, effective, and reliable.
Why is this method important?
As a contact measurement method, when inserting the equipment’s probe into the interior of the log, approximately halfway through its diameter, it scans and calculates the total average moisture of the log, rather than just its surface.
This technology has proven to be extremely effective for both moist and dry logs.
For you, as a manager, leader, or production manager, what are the advantages of Umilog M65?
In addition to using this cutting-edge technology, it comes with our software, UmiData, a powerful tool for storing data collected by the meter and downloaded via USB to a PC.
These data can then be displayed in various types of graphs, histories, and exported in Excel or other file formats.
What is the UmiData software?
UmiData is a powerful tool for data collection and storage. Through this supervisory tool, it’s possible to create and analyze recipes present in the equipment.
The collected data (moisture readings) can be downloaded via USB cable to a PC to be displayed through reports, graphs, histories, and tables. In addition to the online viewing of these reports, there is also the option to export them in CSV format to be read via Excel, ensuring better optimization for your company!
Benefits of knowing and having moisture data for logs and firewood:
- Material Quality: Excessive moisture in logs can lead to deterioration, rot, and fungal growth, reducing the quality and durability of the material. Measuring moisture allows selecting higher quality logs for use in final products.
- Combustion Efficiency: For use as firewood, excessive moisture in logs and firewood can result in inefficient burning and the production of more smoke. Burning wet wood requires more energy to evaporate moisture before the wood can burn, reducing energy efficiency and heat production.
- Energy Savings: Using firewood with lower moisture content can yield better heat output during burning, reducing the amount of firewood needed to heat a space, saving energy and resources.
- Prevention of Structural Damage: In construction, excessive moisture in wood can cause deformations, warping, and cracks over time. Measuring moisture helps ensure that wood used in construction is in ideal conditions to minimize these issues.
- Industrial Processing: In the furniture and other wood product industries, improper moisture can affect machining and finishing processes, leading to defects and quality issues. Measuring moisture allows adjusting production processes according to wood characteristics.
- Proper Storage: Knowing the moisture content of logs and firewood is essential for proper storage. Excessively moist wood can degrade during storage, resulting in economic losses.
- Environmental Health: Using wood with the appropriate moisture content for burning can reduce atmospheric pollutant emissions and decrease environmental impact, contributing to a cleaner and healthier atmosphere.
- Drying Process Planning: If the wood has high moisture content, it’s possible to plan appropriate drying processes to reduce moisture before use. This avoids quality and performance problems.
