Siempelkamp to supply MDF line to AGT in Antalya, Turkey

Siempelkamp concluded a contract with Göttinger GIM Export Group for a second MDF line for the Turkish wood-based panel manufacturer AGT based in Antalya. The order for the new line also includes the supply, installation, and startup supervision for the fiber dryer and energy plant by Siempelkamp’s subsidiary Büttner.

The scope of supply contains a Generation 9,7‘ x 55.3 m, ContiRoll press, featuring the low density panel package, the forming and press line, and the glue kitchen with the innovative Ecoresinator resin blending and application system for MDF. The latter convinces with high resin savings.

The energy plant is designed for a total combustion capacity of 64 MW and includes the grate furnace with various burners, the thermal oil heater, and the process steam generator.

The distinctive feature is that the new ORC unit for electricity generation provided by the customer can be entirely supplied with thermal oil from the biomass-fueled energy plant by Büttner. The flue gases are cleaned by means of an energy-efficient and low-wear electrostatic precipitator. This concept was so convincing to AGT that Büttner also received an order for a new electrostatic precipitator for the existing energy plant. In only a few days of downtime the flue gas cyclone will be disassembled and the electrostatic precipitator installed in the same location.

The first MDF line, which AGT ordered from Siempelkamp via GIM Export Group, was characterized by energy efficiency. The current order also honors this commitment. Connecting both lines opens up synergies in the cut-to-size and transportation area, and thus allows a more economical production.

AGT is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of PVC-coated MDF/HDF for the furniture industry. Its product range also includes flooring, wall panels, and doors for the construction industry. On the existing ContiRoll® line the company produces more than 500,000 m³ MDF/HDF annually, primarily for further in-house processing and the local market.
