Brazilian company Berneck S. A. Painéis e Serrados placed an order with Siempelkamp for production plant with cutting-edge ContiRoll® technology. The scope of supply includes the resin kitchen equipped with the Ecoresinator, the continuous press line with ContiRoll® to the finishing line with the cooling turners and the intermediate storage, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The drying of the wood fibers takes place in a flue gas-free indirectly steam-heated flash tube dryer made by Büttner. The engineering of the whole plant is carried out by Siempelkamp’s Belgium subsidiary Sicoplan based on laser-scan-supported surveying of the local production site. Sicoplan is also responsible for the planning of the steel construction and the wiring necessary for the process equipment. Both will be implemented by Siempelkamp.
The heart of the plant comes from Siempelkamp’s production in Krefeld - the ContiRoll® Generation 9 with a length of 48.8 m and a width of 9´. The key design feature of the NEO version is its ultra-flexible, extended press infeed.
Ten press frames with a distance of 530 mm from each other provide for solid static conditions; the booster hot platen, extended by 100%, together with the highly specialized press hydraulics, allows production increases of up to 30%.
Following the plant’s startup, scheduled for spring of 2021, the new Berneck production location in Lages will manufacture 1,665 m² of MDF daily. The installation of the plant is scheduled to begin in the 2Q 2020 and the production of the first board is forecast for December of the same year.
