It&#8217;s about efficient energy, climate-conscious actions, and responsibility for an entire region.<br \/>\nThe traditional wood company from Worb has been supplying high-quality wood products to craft businesses for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Besides product quality, one topic is high on the agenda: sustainability. On the OLWO site, BKW AEK Contracting AG (BAC) operates the district heating plant, which is fueled by wood chips generated during wood processing. For the wood product to function reliably as an energy source, one thing is essential: consistent moisture content \u2013 and precise measurement.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Precision Meets Sustainability: Moisture Testing for Maximum Energy Efficiency&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fs-30 fs-md-40 font-family-bold mb-3&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T1Lg_vk-bq4&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1006&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Focus on Moisture Content: How the UF55 Ensures Consistent Energy&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fs-30 fs-md-40 font-family-bold mb-3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb-md-0&#8243;]To reliably determine the moisture content of the wood chips, OLWO relies on the Memmert Universal Oven UF55. The device was selected in collaboration with our partner WISAG and tailored precisely to the local needs.<\/p>\n<p>The intelligent combination of a circulating air fan and flap control ensures that the moisture generated during the drying process is actively removed \u2013 unlike conventional devices where moisture accumulates inside. &#8220;With the UF55, we determine the moisture content of our wood chips precisely \u2013 this is crucial for stable heat supply,&#8221; says Alain Iten, OLWO AG.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;From Residual Wood to Heat: How OLWO Efficiently Uses Wood Chips&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fs-30 fs-md-40 font-family-bold mb-3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The wood drying tests with the UF55 are an integral part of the quality process. This enables OLWO to ensure that the woodchippings develop their calorific value optimally &#8211; and thus not only supply heat to the company&#8217;s own buildings, but also to several villages in the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>The controlled moisture content means<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Less energy loss<\/li>\n<li>Reliable security of supply<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple measurement step with a big impact &#8211; for both economic efficiency and the environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Comprehensive Support \u2013 From Initial Consultation to Reordering&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;fs-30 fs-md-40 font-family-bold mb-3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb-md-0&#8243;]The fact that OLWO chose Memmert is not only due to the technical precision of the appliance.
