Swiss Krono Group inaugurates a new OSB plant in Vásárosnamény, Hungary, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The Hungarian plant is the world’s most advanced of its type, and is also the very first to be equipped with the latest generation of Siempelkamp machines. It is the fourth OSB plant that Swiss Krono has contracted the manufacturer on the Lower Rhine to build.
The company worked with Sicoplan, Siempelkamp’s Belgian subsidiary, to
plan it. The Generation 8 ContiRoll® press excels with outstandingly precise
pressure distribution, which optimises the use of resin and wood. It is
installed together with a lightweight board package. Active lifting of the
upper heating plate by extra differential cylinders results in special
longitudinal and transverse pressure profiles, which permits the production of
very lightweight boards. Prod-IQ®.maintenance and Prod-IQ®.quality control
systems, together with special automation technology, ensure a high level of
cost-effectiveness.
“We’re going to use our leading-edge ContiRoll® plant to produce Swiss
Krono OSB bright in an endless process. This will let us meet our customers’
high quality expectations while boosting the overall production volume of the Swiss
Krono Group from its current level of about 1.5 million cubic metres by a
fifth,” stresses Managing Director Barnabás Seregi of Swiss Krono Hungary.
