Fully Automatic 300~1500 Cbm Per Day Particle Board Continuous Press Production Line

Description

The OSB manufacturing process is highly automated, using mostly batch presses (cycle presses) of either single or multi-opening design. With tendency for increasing productivity and efficiency, continuous presses started to be the leader among OSB manufacturers. In contrast to traditional batch presses, the continuous presses show a favorable acceptance by the wood based panel manufacturers due to their multiple advantages. Continuous presses run with a defined pressure and temperature profile over the whole effective length and are economical consumers of electrical and thermal energy. They need minimal hydraulic forces to maintain the pressure applied, or to decrease or increase it slightly, whereas in batch presses such forces vary between zero and maximum due to closing-opening cycles (Sandvik 2009). The extraordinary length of a continuous press (53 to 70 m) and pre-heating system allow it to work with a speed up to 2000 mm/sec . A further plus for continuous presses is the pressing time factor, which was estimated at 4.0 s/mm for the optimal panel thickness of 16 to 19 mm. The factor depends on press temperature, which can reach 240 oC .

The 300~1500m³/day particle board production line uses raw material through chips preparation, flakes preparation, dring and sitfting, glue dosing system, forming and hot pressing, cooling &trimming and sanding section to make particle board / chipboard. The final size can be 4 x 8, 6 x 8, 6 x 9, 4 x 12, 6 x 12, 6 x 18. The particle board has homogeneous structure, smooth surface, good machining specification and manufacture performance. It is the ideal substitute of nature wood.
