Clean Inline Measurement

Accurate, Non-Nuclear Measurement Built for Wool Insulation Production

Glass wool and mineral wool production environments are among the most challenging for inline measurement—high temperatures, fibrous airborne material, and demanding throughput speeds make conventional sensors impractical. Hammer-IMS M-Ray millimeter wave technology delivers combined thickness and basis weight measurement that is entirely non-nuclear, contactless, and robust enough for continuous 24/7 operation. Trusted by leading insulation producers such as Owens Corning, our systems provide real-time feedback to tighten production margins, reduce material waste, and ensure consistent product quality across the full web width.
