Abstract

Wood-fiber insulation board is pressed to a uniform thickness and continuously advanced in a horizontal travel direction on a conveyor prior to subdivision into individual panels. The strength of the wood-fiber insulation board is determined by first pressing with an actuator a contact element downward at an actual pressure on a subregion of the advancing wood-fiber insulation board so as produce an actual deformation of the wood-fiber insulation board of between 1% to 7% of its thickness. Then a force sensor determines the actual pressure applied by the contact element to the board that produces the actual deformation and this the determined pressure and the actual deformation are transmitted to a central processor that extrapolates to a standardized deformation based on the determined pressure and actual deformation.
