Two successful sales confirm that Siempelkamp’s expertise enjoys best reputation in Down Under as well: Borg Manufacturing Pty. Ltd., a leading Australian producer of melamine-laminated boards, has ordered a new particleboard plant for its Oberon location. Moreover, Borg has ordered a retrofitting concept from Siempelkamp to use their latest technologies effectively in their existing plant.
The new particleboard plant will be set up in Oberon in the Australian state of New South Wales, where Borg Manufacturing operates a facility for wood-panel surfacing. Impressive investments will enhance its market value significantly. Having so far purchased all their particleboard the company now strives for more autonomy by running their own production facility.
In this Borg relies on Siempelkamp’s support: The Krefeld-based machinery and plant manufacturer received the order for a particleboard plant including a Generation 8-ContiRoll (pressing format 8’ x 40.4 m, designed for an output of 1,500 m³/day). In this plant, two important technological core competences will be realized: for one the almost isobaric pressure distribution in the press and secondly the latest forming technology, presently representing the latest benchmark with respect to raw material consumption.
This is achieved, amongst others, by an optimized material feed into the dosing bins and by two field proven EcoFormers, which are wind formers for producing the surface layers. The mat former system is completed with two CageFormers for producing the core layers; the formers are equipped with modules designed to adjust the weight-per-unit area of the mat. The interplay of these components enables a high forming precision and – along with the almost isobaric pressure distribution in the ContiRoll – ensures an especially material- and cost-efficient particleboard production. These important features have contributed to convince our customer.
