Product catalog summary
Introduction
With the global demand for energy increasing, the use of wood chips, pellets, and sawdust as energy sources is gaining importance. The efficiency of energy production from these materials is significantly enhanced by reducing their moisture content.
Moisture Content and Measurement
The moisture content in wood chips varies based on the chipping method and the type of wood, whether European softwood or North American hardwood. Farmcomp Oy, with its Wile brand, has developed advanced moisture meters to accurately measure moisture content under varying conditions worldwide. These meters are crucial for optimizing energy production from wood materials.
Farmcomp Oy Overview
Farmcomp Oy, based in Finland, is a pioneer in moisture measurement technology, having invented the handheld moisture meter in 1963. The company has a global presence, selling to over 80 countries, and maintains a comprehensive database of moisture data for over 200 different grains and seeds.
Innovative Measurement Techniques
Traditional moisture measurement methods using surface pins are less accurate. Farmcomp's Bio Moisture Wood method involves using a chainsaw to obtain wood samples, providing a more accurate moisture reading across the entire wood piece. This method is applicable to wood chips, pellets, and sawdust.
Moisture Ranges
  • Chainsaw woodchips/sawdust: 15 – 65%
  • Wood Pellets: 4 – 23%
  • Normal Sawdust: 6 – 30%
Logging Residue and Energy Production
The Bio Moisture technology, developed with governmental support, is designed to optimize energy production from logging residues by accurately measuring moisture content. The Dish Probe is used for this purpose, offering four scales for different residue types.
Moisture Ranges for Residues
  • Wood Chips: 12 – 40%
  • Logging Residue/Brash/Slash: 30 - 70%
Temperature Measurement
The Wile Temp device features a 1.5-meter fiberglass probe with a digital display, measuring temperatures from -15º to +70º C, enhancing the accuracy of moisture content readings.

Wood Chips/Pellets/Sawdust Logging Residue/Brash/Slash-1

With increasing pressure on energy production around the world the development of using wood chips, pellets etc., as a source of power is very important. The energy produced is increased dramatically if the moisture content is reduced. The moisture content can vary for wood chips dependent on what method was used to chip the wood and as to whether it is a European softwood or a North American hardwood. This is where Farmcomp bring their 50 years of experience to calibrate the meters for the varying conditions in different parts of the world. Farmcomp Oy with its Wile brand was the inventor of the hand held moisture meter, back in 1963 and throughout the years has become the World Leader. It has continued to develop the products to maintain its dominance in the market. Farmcomp sell to all Continents in the World, to over 80 countries worldwide. Wood Chips/Pellets/Sawdust Logging Residue/Brash/Slash Our database has nearly 50 years of information with over 200 different grains and seeds from Alfalfa/Lucerne to Red Clover and even seaweed. This experience allows us to more accurately measure the moisture for the different products and to continually update our information with new growing techniques and new strains of seeds and grains. The products are manufactured in our factory outside of Helsinki in Finland. Manufacturer: Farmcomp Oy Jusslansuora 8 FIN-04360 Tuusula Finland

Wood Chips/Pellets/Sawdust Logging Residue/Brash/Slash-2

Wood Chips Pellets Sawdust Logging Residue Brash Slash WILE Temp Moisture in wood varies significantly so the traditional method of pins on the surface of the wood is not very accurate as you only have contact with the outer part of the log. Bio Moisture Wood has been developed to give more accurate results. This method takes a chain saw to the wood and the resultant pieces are measured. This gives you a sample across the whole wood which is much more accurate. This method can also be used on pallets, wood pellets and sawdust.
