Plant capacity will be approximately 120,000 cubic metres per year, but all the major equipment has been sized to process over 180,000 cubic metres of board a year with thickness varying from 2 to 30 mm. The line will produce board widths varying from 9’-7’ at a maximum pressing speed of 1500 mm/sec.
The continuous DYNASTEAMPRESS, fully designed and constructed by IMAL in ITALY, is the only continuous press in the world to combine steam and thermal oil for board cure, thus cutting press times by 30% with respect to standard continuous presses. With the supply of this press, following that of IPAN, Italy, the number of continuous DYNAPRESSES produced by the Imal-Pal group has risen to six.
The IMAL scope of supply, in addition to the Dynasteampress, also includes the engineering of the entire factory, technological support, diagonal saw, board handling, automatic stores, all the electric control, on line quality controls, laboratory equipment and the HI Jet Blow line resination system which can reduce resin consumption with respect to standard systems by over 20%.
The whole log feeding line, chipping and waste bark refiner will be supplied by GLOBUS, another member of the Imal-Pal group.
The Imal-Pal Group is an Italian equipment and plant manufacturers for the wood-based panel industry.
