Chip classifiers

Make every chip count

Muototerä provides chip classifiers and analyzers to pulp and sawmill industries. When reliable particle-size analysis with very low maintenance and you

FinScreen chip classifiers allows you to analyze product deviation frequently, flexibly, and reliably. This helps to eliminate operator error and bias and ensures that you get what you pay for.

In our product range, we have manual & automated wood chip classification analyzers. Manual analyzers give accurate results and are often used in wood chip handling terminals and production sites.

Chip screening process can be semi automized with a weighting unit. With this unit, operator does not have to manually track the results, but they can be automatically transfer to an existing ERP software.

Automated classification analyzer works independently and unmanned. It enables 24/7 chip screening and analyzing. Robot is replacing the manpower and operator needs only to make sure that there are enough samples in the que.

Screening principle is based on a 120 mm stroke. The frequency is 160 cycles per minute.

Chip classification analyzer

A device, that operates according SCAN-CM 40:01 standard, is used to screen wood chips in a pulp mill or wood chip production. The classifier has a flexible layout. Thus, it can be positioned almost anywhere. Furthermore, it is fast to start up and the machine is ready to give extremely accurate screening results the day it arrives.

Weighting unit

This weighting unit takes the conventional chip classifying to the next level. It can be used as an extension to manual chip classifier or as a stand-alone system. Together with Muototerä’s chip classifier FinScreen, it will automatically identify screening plates and thus minimize the human error in result tracking. You can get a report in a paper and electric form.

Automated robot cell

An automated robotic system to screen and analyze wood chips in a pulp, paper and sawmill industries. Main purpose is to ensure quality compliance. The automated chip classifier stores 15 samples of wood chips and screens these on its own. You can change the screening order of samples and add or remove samples during operation.

Frequently asked questions

Chip classifiers are particle size analyzers that provides data on wood chip sample deviation. It screens and analyses the wood chip particle distribution.

In chemical pulping process the particle size is important, because homogeneous wood chips enable:

– Standardization of the production process
– Predefined cooking time and additive chemical
– Energy need according to recipe

Even quality with repeatable process and predictable costs

FinScreen is an automated or manual device to screen wood chips in a pulp mill or wood chip production. Main purpose is to ensure quality compliance: are you getting what you are paying?
Saves money by making sure you will not pay for wrong quality. If you use more than 2M m³ wood in a year, the automatic analyzer can pay your investment back in less than one year. After that, it is pure profit!
The automated chip classifiers store 12 samples of wood chips and analyzes these on its own. You can change the screening order of samples and add or remove samples during operation. The system does not require any operator time during working cycle and this increases screening capacity without additional expenses.
In addition to savings on purchased wood chip, these systems can be used for own production quality control too. Thus, you can have constant quality control with low operating costs.
Yes. Manufacturer has over 30 years experience of chip classifiers (totally way over 100 classifying systems sold). It is reliable, tested and almost service free. The automatic system has a certified accuracy scale with weighing accuracy of 0,1g.
Yes. Well defined and user-friendly operating system guarantees trouble free and reliable operation. Waste removal is executed with screw conveyor to minimize the manual work.
Yes. Manufacturer has over 30 years experience of chip classifiers (totally way over 100 classifying systems sold). It is reliable, tested and almost service free. The automatic system has a certified accuracy scale with weighing accuracy of 0,1g.
If you go with the manual chip analyzer, you can include to the delivery an automatic weighting unit. This system stores the result data and you can take our hard copies or connect the system to you existing ERP software. For the automatic analyzer, we have developed a Windows based software for wood chip classifying. This is connectable to factory reporting systems and reports are available in different forms, e.g. numeric or graphic diagrams. Software is easy to use and with user groups you can divide the authority to perform different level functions.
We offer online helpdesk and annual maintenance services to make sure that the system works exactly as you were promised.
