At LIMAB UK, we understand how important it is for manufacturers producing various building materials to have reliable in-process measurement systems. As most of these plants operate 24/7, the equipment must be capable of operating for long periods in harsh environments without the need for a great deal of maintenance or recalibration.
We have worked for many years with several of the world’s best building materials companies to provide dedicated in-process, non-contact measurement systems providing dependable process measurements.
The consequences of poor process measurement can be devastating for businesses. The lack of process control can increase manufacturing costs and lead to dissatisfied customers, which can very quickly lead to a lack of confidence in your ability to fulfil your customers’ needs and result in reputational damage and loss of market share.
We have the expertise to help you implement the in-process measurement system to suit your particular requirements. Our systems will provide the next level of process control, helping you to improve plant efficiency and allowing you to take swift corrective actions leading to a better-quality end product and reassurance for your customers.
By working with industry-leading suppliers, we can offer premium quality products providing you with the most cost-effective measurement solutions. With many years of experience and a proven track record of working with companies similar to yours, we can help you identify the most suitable product for your particular needs. Once the equipment is on-site, we can also provide commissioning and training, as well as ongoing support packages.
Non-contact thickness, width and length measurement using the latest laser technology for in-process dimensional measurement. Suitable for all types of wood-based panels, including particleboard, MDF and OSB. Also used for other types of building panels, such as insulation materials and various cladding products.
Non-contact in-process thickness, width and edge profile in gypsum board production lines. In-process surface defect detection, non-contact length control and board length shrinkage monitoring through the drying process.
Non-contact moisture of clay and cement mixes using the latest NIR sensors for continuous process monitoring and control for manufacturing bricks and roofing tiles.
The PanelProfiler is a non-contact, laser-based system designed for measuring the thickness of panels, in-process during manufacture. It is suitable for all type of panel products such as MDF, OSB, chipboard, hardboard, HPL, plywood and rigid foam insulation panels.
The GMS1100 is a non-contact, gypsum board measuring system using laser-based technology for measuring the full-dimensional shape of gypsum board, in-line during manufacture. The system measures and displays the thickness profile, taper profile, width and edge profile, wet and dry board lengths.
The LIMAB gypsum board shrinkage measuring system continuously and simultaneously measures the length of wet gypsum boards immediately after the shear and the length of the boards at the exit of the dryer and then by comparing the two, it calculates the exact shrinkage.
The PrediktIR II Bulk Materials Moisture Gauge is a rugged, in-process bulk materials moisture gauge suitable for directly measuring materials including sand, clay, wood chips and cement mix. Using near-infrared (NIR) non-contact technology, it provides accurate and dependable, real-time moisture measurements that can be used to improve process control.
The Series 9 Industrial Moisture Gauge is the latest generation sensor for precise on-line measurement of moisture for almost any material. The gauge is capable of measuring the widest range of materials including powders, coarse or fine particles, concentrates, slurries, pastes, flakes and granules.
Impac Pyrometers are highly accurate and dependable, IR thermometers for non-contact, temperature measurement in even the harshest environments. We have a vast range of IR thermometers with models suitable for every type of application including, glass, mineral wool, ceramic and graphite.
Mikron Thermal Imaging Cameras are high-performance IR thermal imaging systems for accurate temperature measurement in a number of dedicated industrial applications including in-furnace temperature mapping.
Thyristor Power Controllers provide efficient, reliable and precise control of electrical heating, which is absolutely essential in many industrial thermal processes including industrial furnaces, IR drying, glass manufacturing, semiconductors, heat treatment, melting, drying and forming.

“The reliability and accuracy of the moisture gauges are never in doubt and we have relied upon them for many years. LIMAB UK has always been on hand to ensure we achieve the best out of our equipment.”
“LIMAB Ltd has proven themselves an indispensable ally in improving product quality and process. Their continuous measurement and monitoring systems both ‘flag up’ and enable quicker reaction times to production issues, reducing waste and ensuring only high-quality product is received by the customer”
“We needed a reliable and accurate system for measuring our panels, we liked LIMAB’s non-contact technology and was our preferred choice. We have been very impressed with the results and this has given gains in production efficiency and product quality. We can highly recommend LIMAB as a supplier.”
“I knew that some of the other Wienerberger sites had already purchased some NDC PrediktIR moisture gauges and I had heard that they were really improving the production processes and quality control procedures. I met up with some of the LIMAB team at ClayTech, and I was immediately impressed with their expertise and what they had to offer. After discussions with NDC Product Specialist, we went ahead and purchased four NDC PrediktIR gauges. The gauges have really helped us to monitor and have greater control of our water input system and we are already getting some really useful data. I would certainly purchase from LIMAB again in the future.”
“We got a call from John Miller from LIMAB UK back in 2018, just as we were finding our existing moisture gauge was failing. We discussed the possibility of replacing our existing gauge with an NDC gauge and invited John to come in for a site visit and to subsequently quote us for a PrediktIR. We were very impressed with John’s product knowledge and we decided to proceed with the purchase. We have found the PrediktIR to be very reliable and we are very happy with it.”
“We found that we were actually losing a lot of money due to not having the correct moisture content in our bricks, so back in January 2019, we decided to look into implementing some non-contact NIR moisture gauges to enable us to monitor this more effectively. We contacted LIMAB UK and installed two NDC Technologies’ PrediktIR moisture gauges in our priority clay prep. area. I am very happy with the PrediktIR gauges and having the ability to constantly monitor the moisture content has massively improved our quality control processes. We were impressed with the evident product knowledge and expertise demonstrated by the team at LIMAB UK and the customer service and aftersales support was great!”
We believe our customers should deal with an expert from the point of enquiry to project completion. Therefore, we will appoint you a product specialist, so you have continuity and a single point of contact. They will be your guide, help identify the best solution for your particular application and be with you through to successful implementation.
