The IMG-P Solution
Dunakontroll’s Industrial Moisture Gate for Recovered Paper Bales (IMG-P) uses advanced microwave measurement and 3D optical scanning to:
- Assess the full incoming truckload, including moisture variation inside the material
- Determine the real dry-fibre content and commercial value of each delivery
- Provide objective measurement results in under two minutes
- Transfer intake data directly to ERP and corporate IT systems
- Create a transparent, audit-ready basis for supplier settlement and quality control
See the real moisture profile of your entire truckload in one glance.
Average moisture content: 18%
The Challenge
In the pulp and paper industry, the moisture content of incoming waste paper bales has a direct impact on purchasing costs, fibre yield, and raw material quality. Traditional measurement methods are often:
Non-representative — measuring only a limited number of points on the surface
Time- and resource-intensive — slowing down evaluation and increasing manual work
The result?
Difficult to verify — limited measurement visibility makes supplier settlement and quality control less reliable
Solution
Dunakontroll’s Industrial Moisture Gate for Waste Paper Bales (IMG-P) provides fullload measurement under real industrial conditions using microwave technology and 3D optical scanning. The system is designed to:
Measure the entire truckload
Provide fast and reliable moisture data
Transfer multiple data sets directly to your corporate IT system
Support transparent and sustainable supplier relationships
Accurate moisture data
for every incoming load
Measure wastepaper bales in real time and ensure consistent fiber quality across your production.
How does it work?
Microwave Precision Meets 3D Optical Intelligence
The Microwave System – The microwave system provides reliable measurement data on the moisture condition of the raw material, designed for use in real industrial environments.
The 3D Optical System – The 3D optical system captures data on the size, structure, and distribution of the load, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the full truckload.
BUSINESS IMPACT
Pay for fiber, not water
Moisture measurement based on the full load creates a clearer basis for pricing and raw material evaluation.
Data-Driven Trust
Reliable measurement data supports transparent communication and reduces uncertainty in supplier settlement.
Support for Sustainability and Compliance
Traceable measurement data strengthens reporting, resource efficiency, and compliance-related processes.
OPERATIONAL & DATA PERFORMANCE
Fiber Balance
Accurate moisture data ensures optimized fibre balance.
Operational Efficiency
Measure the entire load in motion without unloading.
Real-Time Data Availability
Access real-time moisture data for faster decision-making and improved process control.
