1 PagesIn-Process RTD Sensor Reduces Delamination of Plywood Conax provided in-process RTD sensors which increased efficiency and reduced delamination. Industry: Wood Manufacture Application: Monitor steam feed heater plates on a plywood press. Customer Requirement: The customer was using hand-held infra-red sensors to monitor the 31 heater plates on a plywood press. The need to perform periodic manual temperature checks caused substantial down time. They wanted to replace the hand-held sensors with a more accurate, efficient and continuous method to monitor the temperature of the press plates used in the bonding of the plywood. Conax Design Solution: A Conax RTD34W3-SS25-B3-PG2BV-3.00'' with a 0.25'' x 0.50'' NPT hex bushing was installed in the steam line that feeds into the press plates. Each
