The new plant will be located in Shuyang (Jiangsu province). The production line includes a 8.5’ x 38.8 m ContiRoll press of the 8th generation.

The specially-equipped forming line will have five mat-forming machines. The scope of supply also includes the screen-ing system and the EcoPulser for secondary size-reduction of chips, the resin dosing and blend-ing system, the double diagonal saw as well as the SicoScan quality measurement system, the thickness gauge and control, the blow detector, and the weight scales. The production manage-ment will be controlled by Siempelkamp’s Prod-IQ® process control technology.The installation of the plant is scheduled to start in spring of 2020. After becoming fully operation-al the new plant will be manufacturing approximately 300,000 m3 of OSB annually.
“For me, orders such as this one are an important confirmation of our strategy to increase our presence in China. One main area for global demand can be found here. We meet this demand with suitable offers and local resources. It is particularly pleasing that we were once again able to convince a new customer of our services,” says Christoph Michel, spokesperson of the man-agement of the Siempelkamp holding company.
