Jul 01, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Egger, a long-term Siempelkamp customer, ordered a new short-cycle press for the production of 2070 x 5610 mm laminated boards in February. The press is based on the innovative KT 700 concept and guarantees maximum efficiency, high pressure and sophisticated products with short pressing and charging times. At its parent plant in St. Johann, Austria, Egger will expand its particleboard production with the state-of-the-art equipment made by Siempelkamp. The start-up of the KT 700 at the St. Johann location is scheduled for the beginning of 2014, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network.

As a specialist for presses, Siempelkamp provides the suitable press concepts for the quick, precise and economical laminating of wood-based boards. During the short-cycle process, decorative papers impregnated with melamine or urea resins respectively are pressed onto a board inside the hot press. According to the motto "higher pressure equals higher profile", Siempelkamp developed a new high-end press model for this process.

Due to the increased pressure of up to 700 N/cm2, the KT 700 opens up the prospect to manufacture high-quality and new products in the area of lamination. With this new press there are hardly any limits to the creativity of the producers and the demand of the consum-ers. Dramatic surface structures can be achieved with the KT 700.

The special characteristics of the KT 700 are its multi-piston design and the new cylinder design. The pressureless exposure time was reduced to 0.8 seconds. The removal of the cylinders for servicing was simplified. The hydraulic tank which was formerly installed in the center has been replaced with two left and right mounted hydraulic tanks in the KT 700. The innovative mounting of the upper hotplate results in precise parallelism of both hotplates.
