Precision and efficiency for the building materials industry
Precision, efficiency and quality play a decisive role in the building materials industry. With the measuring systems from Harrer & Kassen, we support companies in the production of high-quality building materials by enabling precise and reliable measurements of material properties such as moisture content, density and composition. Our innovative technologies are designed to optimize production processes, minimize waste and ensure consistently high quality standards.
Our measuring devices are used in the following areas of the building materials industry
Floor coverings
Precise moisture measurement is crucial in the manufacture of floor coverings to ensure quality standards and minimize production losses. Our measurement technology enables precise monitoring of the moisture content in materials such as vinyl, laminate or parquet. This ensures that the products achieve the optimum consistency and stability, which improves their shelf life and longevity.
Fiberboard
Precise control of moisture and density is essential in the production of fiberboards such as MDF or HDF. Our measuring systems provide reliable data for monitoring pressing and drying processes to ensure consistent product quality. This helps to use resources efficiently and reduce waste.
Plaster
In gypsum production, the measurement of moisture and crystal water is of crucial importance, especially in calcination and the manufacture of plasterboard and other building elements. Our systems enable precise process control during the drying and curing phases, optimizing production processes and reducing costs.
Wood
As a natural building material, wood requires precise moisture control in order to avoid shrinkage, cracks and deformation during further processing. Our technologies help to efficiently control the drying of sawn timber and wood products while maintaining their structural integrity and quality.
Clay
In brick and ceramic production, precise monitoring of the moisture in the clay plays a crucial role. Our measurement technology helps manufacturers to control the moisture content during the forming and drying processes in order to optimize the strength and shelf life of the end products.
Sand
The moisture content of sand has a decisive influence on the mixing ratios and the quality of concrete, mortar, glass and other building materials. Our systems provide real-time data for accurate dosing and efficient material utilization, improving consistency and productivity in building material production.
Why process measurement technology is crucial in the building materials industry:
Consistent product quality
Our measuring devices enable the precise monitoring and control of relevant material parameters to ensure consistently high product quality – regardless of production fluctuations.
Conservation of resources
By accurately recording moisture and other material properties, our systems help to use resources such as water, energy and raw materials efficiently and minimize waste.
Process optimization
Real-time data from our measuring devices helps to make production processes more efficient, reduce downtimes and increase overall production output.
Compliance with norms and standards
Our measurement technology supports compliance with industrial and legal requirements by providing the precise data required for certification and documentation.
Reduced energy consumption
Thanks to accurate moisture measurements, drying processes in the building materials industry can be optimally controlled, which reduces energy consumption and cuts production costs.
