Starwood recently produced the first board in automatic mode on Siempelkamp thin board plant for MDF at its Inegöl location in Turkey. After a top ramp-up curve, stable three-shift operation has now also been achieved.
The first board deadline is considered a central milestone during the start-up phase of a wood-based panel plant – from this point until acceptance, the focus on the construction site is on achieving the production and quality targets to be realized with the plant.
A total of three Siempelkamp ContiRoll plants now produce MDF, L-MDF, and thin board in Inegöl. The total output of these three plants will allow a capacity of more than 2,500 to 3,000 m³/day after the start-up phase of the new line. The thickness range of the new line is designed for 1.5 to approx. 18 mm.
"We sincerely congratulate the Starwood team on the milestones achieved and are pleased to contribute to considerably expanding the capacity of this site with our high-performance plant. At the same time we would like to thank them for their trust in our performance, which has already led to five joint projects in the meantime," says Ulrich Kaiser, Head of Sales Siempelkamp.
