Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about industrial moisture measurement systems and applications.
What does the Dunakontroll system measure?
The system does not only measure moisture; it is also capable of analysing various physical and dielectric parameters related to the characterisation of fibrous raw materials.
What materials can the system measure?
Our technology can be applied to various fibrous raw materials, including recovered paper, logs, wood-based raw materials, and straw bales.
How does the system differ from traditional sampling methods?
Traditional sampling provides information from only a small part of the load and therefore does not accurately reflect the condition of the raw material. In contrast, Dunakontroll’s system is based on full-load measurement and provides reliable data for evaluation, receiving, and decision-making.
Why is full-load measurement important?
Moisture content and other material characteristics can vary significantly within the same load. Full-load measurement reduces uncertainty, makes evaluation transparent, and provides an accurate picture of the actual raw material quality.
How does Dunakontroll’s measurement technology work?
The system uses a microwave-based measurement principle complemented by 3D laser optical measurement solutions. This makes it possible to evaluate moisture content as well as the physical and dielectric characteristics of the load quickly, automatically, and in an industrial environment.
What is the advantage of real-time measurement data?
Real-time measurement allows faster response in receiving, production, and logistics processes. Decision-makers have immediate access to relevant data, reducing delays and improving operational control.
Can the system be integrated into existing ERP or production management systems?
Yes. Dunakontroll’s systems are designed to fit into existing industrial processes as well as related IT and ERP environments.
How customizable is the system?
Measurement solutions are configured with the specific application, raw material type, operating environment, and technological requirements in mind. In every project, an important objective is to ensure a good fit with local operating conditions.
What business benefits does the system provide?
Accurate measurement data supports transparent raw material settlement, improved purchasing control, reduced losses, more stable production processes, optimized fibre balance, and more efficient use of resources.
Is the system suitable for outdoor industrial operation?
Yes. Dunakontroll’s technology is developed for real industrial conditions, taking demanding operating and environmental circumstances into account.
How fast is the measurement process?
The system is designed for fast, automated measurement; in most cases, the analysis of a full load is completed in about 2 minutes. The actual measurement process depends on the application and the installed configuration.
What role does the system play in sustainability?
Accurate measurement supports responsible raw material use, reduced losses, improved energy efficiency, and transparent operation. It also plays an important role in supporting sustainability and compliance objectives.
How quickly can the system pay back?
The payback period depends on production volume and the specific application, but in some cases an ROI of only a few months can be achieved.
