This industry encompasses the manufacture and processing of glass and wood, as well as energy production from these materials. It therefore covers a wide range of production processes in which natural raw materials are processed or used for energy. 

Glass is widely used in the construction, automotive, and packaging industries—and increasingly as a high-tech material in photovoltaics and electronics. Wood, on the other hand, is a key building material, is processed in the furniture and paper industries, and plays an important role in heat generation as a renewable energy source.

A growing area is energy production from biomass, for example through the combustion of wood pellets or residual materials, which contributes to the reduction of fossil fuels and CO₂-neutral energy production. Sustainability, resource efficiency, and emission control are central concerns of the industry.

The combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas still contributes significantly to energy production. Optimal processes are essential here in order to conserve resources and work as efficiently and economically as possible.

Weighing technology is often used in these industries in the form of continuous flow scales, for example for wood pellets or wood products, and in the form of belt scales for bulk materials with a higher bulk density. Mass flows are recorded and controlled using the measured values. Total quantities are balanced and fill levels are measured using load cells. In energy production, flow sensors are used in particular in the exhaust gas stream. 

Whether for production control, material accounting, or quality control, Hense Wägetechnik offers reliable and durable weighing technology solutions that are specially designed for the harsh conditions and high demands of these industries.

Providing the right technology for the specific application is the core competence of Hense Wägetechnik. If you would like to contact us directly, please do so at:
