Aug 06, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Green River Panels (Thailand) CO., LTD. is investing in a second particle board plant from Dieffenbacher. The new plant will be installed next to the existing Dieffenbacher plant, which was set up in 2007 at the company's Hat Yai location. Production is scheduled to start at the end of 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The scales were tipped in Dieffenbacher's favor by the excellent experience that Green River has had with the existing plant's production performance, the technical support the company has received and the quick response of the after sales service provided by the Dieffenbacher Asia Pacific Service Center located in Kuala Lumpur and therefore in close proximity to the site.

The scope of supply includes a drum dryer, forming and press line and a twin diagonal saw. The forming station is supplied with a 4 head dispersion unit, which uses wind spreader heads with integrated roller screen. The benefits of deploying such technology include the considerably improved spreading tolerances with reduced raw material consumption and perfect surface quality thanks to the reliable separation of impurities.

As well as standard particle boards, the plant is also intended to manufacture lightweight panels. Delivery is scheduled to commence in May 2015.
