METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR SCREENING AND DRYING STRAND MATERIAL UPSTREAM OF A DISTRIBUTION MACHINE IN THE COURSE OF MANUFACTURING WOOD MATERIAL BOARDS

摘要

A method and an installation or machine for screening and drying strand material. The strand material still in the moist state is screened with a screening device into at least two different fractions of strand material. At least one of the screened fractions is fed to at least one dryer, and the feeding of the strand material to the dryer is carried out by means of a conveying device, which is controlled by a control unit. The control unit assures a uniform, predetermined weight and/or volume input into the dryer(s) by measuring the mass and/or the weight per unit area of the strand material by means of a measuring device.
