It is designed to work at speeds of 2100 mm/s and presses THDF boards with a density of 1.5 to 25 mm. The front end also consists of a fiber dryer and the Z-sifter, which has performed particularly well with short-fibered wood. The forming station is equipped with a scalper including a correction module and a Dieffensor for maximum forming accuracy.
In order to retain flexibility in terms of the panel density that can be produced, space has been reserved in the area in front of the press to allow for the subsequent installation of a microwave preheating system. The components supplied in the finishing line area include raw board handling with diagonal saw, edge trim and split saw, a Lukki storage system and a sanding line. Start-up is expected in spring 2017.
This order represents the second CPS+ press that Metro-Ply has ordered within three months.
