Norbord started-up OSB production at its Inverness mill in the UK

Norbord completed GBP 95 million ($129 million) investment at its OSB mill in Inverness, the UK. The equipment includes the forming line, the screening, blending and resin system, the heat energy system, dryer and WESP stack. HOLTEC has been responsible for the wood room starting from the infeed system up to the strand conveyors into the wet bin. Coordinating the delivery, installation and start-up of the whole equipment has been quite a logistical undertaking at site, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.


However, the first strands were produced today and with this the next mile stone were achieved for making the first board. When the new continuous press is in operation, it will significantly increase the capacity of OSB production in Inverness and will have the potential for further expansion in the future.
