Pilot Plants R&D

 

The MDF pilot plant is equipped with the latest technology, which consists of a pressurized refiner, a glue doser, a tube dryer, a former and a pressing system. The pressurized refiner is equipped with a 30 cm diameter refiner disc, powered by a motor with variable speeds that can reach up to 5000 rpm. The refiner system is designed to have a steam pressure up to 10 bars. Production capacity is between 20 and 100 kg/h, depending on process conditions, the type of material and the type of refiner plate used. The resin can be injected through the blow-line resin injection system which gives better glue penetration, resulting in higher strength for the board. A multi-variable setting Diffenbacher press equipped with an automatic control system is used to produce multi wood-based panels. The platen size is 1200 mm x 1600 mm and is heated with thermo oil. The temperature of the platen can be set up to 220 Celcius. The press has a programmable pressing cycle.
