Russian timber group Pavlovskiy DOK builds MDF plant in Pavlovsk, Altai region of Russia. The construction work in the nearby city of Pavlovsk has already started and the planning activities of the equipment suppliers are in full swing. The main production equipment, ordered from Siempelkamp, will be loaded with innovative technology “made in Krefeld” and primarily backed by energy-saving systems, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The plant will be equipped with an optimized sifter concept for fibers, the new drive technology Ecodrive as well as with the indispensable resin-saving Ecoresinator.
With innovative pressure distribution plates, an extended cylinder bed and many new equipment features, the press will operate virtually isobaric and will manufacture boards with unprecedented quality for the entire product range from 2.5 mm to 40 mm.
The Belgium Siempelkamp subsidiary Sicoplan is responsible for the complete planning of the plant including the front-end area of the production line.
The Siempelkamp scope of supply consists of a sifter, resin blending system, forming and press line including a 9’ ContiRoll® press, Generation 8, with optimal prerequisites for a possible future extension, cooling and stacking line, automatic intermediate storage, sanding line, and cut-to-size line. Last but not least, Siempelkamp will also supply the automation and drive technology with Prod- IQ® control technology which allows professional trending, commission evaluations as well as laboratory data and downtime management.
Siempelkamp’s subsidiary Büttner Energie- und Trocknungstechnik will supply the fiber dryer and energy plant. A 50 MW solid fuel firing system will generate the thermal energy for the processes and the building. This concept makes the location entirely independent from fossil fuels.
The installation is scheduled to start in the 4Q 2017; the first board is forecast to be pressed in summer of 2018.
