Board vibration measurment combined with proven X-ray density measurments provides MSR evaluation with more acurate Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) predictions and greater yields.

Automated Grading with MSR in One Machine

E-Valuator is field proven since 2006 to outperform HCLT systems in bin yield for western SPF.  It allows for tighter control of MOE, bending and tension set points, giving you the confidence to extract higher yields with better control.  E-Valuator increases the value of the recovered product by correctly classifying a greater percentage of higher grade MSR in the mix

E-Valuator is completely integrated into the LHG system and does not require any additional hardware components beyond our current LHG MSR package.  It only requires laser profile (LPR) and X-ray subsystems.  An optional vision subsystem provides additional board information, such knot size and location, slope of grain, rate of growth, checks and shakes.

Non-contact X=Ray and vibration measurement means no board deflection, resulting in less board breakage and permitting higher planer feed speeds and high up-time.  It also means no special calibration is required, beyond standard X-ray cal-check performed automatically.  Less mechanical contact leads to less chance of wear, fatigue, and other types of mechanical issues.

An additional advantage is the small footprint of LHG compared to CLT.  It fits inside the standard LHG package.
