An intelligent in-line moisture control system built specifically for net/continuous dryers. Sensors at both infeed and outfeed eliminate under-drying and over-drying — with the entire dryer speed fully controlled automatically by AI.
Drying is a critical process in plywood manufacturing, where inconsistent moisture levels can compromise bonding strength, final product quality, and on-grade ratios. The EN-303 combines non-contact moisture content sensors, in-house developed control hardware, and sophisticated AI-driven software into one integrated system.
Unlike manual systems where operators must constantly guess the conveyor speed, EN-303 acts as an "experienced expert." Sensors placed at both the infeed and outfeed of the dryer enable the system to capture each veneer sheet's MC value even before it enters the dryer — then monitor, analyse, and control the entire drying rate automatically.
This means the entire dryer speed is fully controlled by the system. The result is uniform drying, reduced energy consumption, and improved dryer throughput — with fewer overdried or underdried sheets.
Transforming moisture control from a manual headache into an automated profit centre — across every shift, every species, every dryer configuration.
Five integrated sensing and control loops — from veneer entry to verified dry output — operating autonomously around the clock.
Non-contact MC sensors at the dryer infeed capture each veneer sheet's moisture content before it enters — giving the system advance intelligence to pre-calculate the required drying duration.
The AI analyses five simultaneous inputs — veneer thickness, input MC, ambient temperature, humidity, and dryer length — computing the optimal dryer speed in real-time for the active glue type preset.
The system directly controls the dryer conveyor variable speed drive — accelerating or decelerating automatically to deliver veneer within the target MC range for the selected glue type.
A second MC sensor at the outfeed verifies the actual dried MC of every sheet — closing the control loop and feeding real-world data back to the AI for continuous self-learning and refinement.
Full computer data collection logs every sheet's input MC, output MC, dryer speed, and efficiency rating per shift — enabling management reporting and dryer performance trend analysis.
The system automatically "studies" your specific dryer's thermal characteristics, zone behaviour, and species response — no manual calibration required after initial setup.
MC sensors at both ends of the dryer give the system a complete picture of veneer moisture before, during, and after drying — no other system on the market captures both data points simultaneously.
Direct integration with the dryer's variable speed drive means speed changes are applied instantly — no relay delays, no operator intermediary, no overshoot.
Switch between MR, Type-1, and WBP glue targets instantly on the touchscreen — the system recalculates and resets speed targets within seconds, eliminating the manual changeover lag.
Clear, intuitive HMI with real-time MC readouts, dryer speed display, shift efficiency graphs, and alarm management — accessible by operators of any technical level.
Automatic shift and daily productivity reports covering throughput, re-dry rate, average MC in/out, and energy efficiency — ready for management review without manual data entry.
A real-time demonstration of moisture content monitoring and automatic dryer speed control — watch the system respond to changing veneer MC within seconds.
EN-303 controls the dryer — pair it with these systems for complete veneer quality management from peeling to pressing.
EN-303 controls net/continuous dryers; GENUS-306i controls roller dryers. Use both to cover every dryer type in your mill with the same level of MC precision and AI intelligence.
Deploy the VMA-312 at dryer output for dual-head MC profiling and auto wet/dry sorting — taking over where EN-303's outfeed sensor leaves off, routing sheets directly to the correct stacker.
EN-301 controls the peeling line upstream — minimising split veneer before it reaches the dryer. EN-303 then controls the dryer stage. Together they form the complete green-to-dry intelligence chain.
