The new Forming Station PB for more efficient particleboard production consists of the newly developed WindFormer and PB Scalper. Its compact design is up to 10 m shorter than a conventional 4-head forming station. A complete aerodynamic redesign of the WindFormer enables a 30% reduction in the amount of air to be moved and improves separation of flakes. The PB Scalper increases spreading accuracy while increasing throughput. Thus capacities of up to 2,000 m³/day are possible with only one core layer spreading head.
Application
Mat forming for particleboard (PB) pressing
Customer benefits
Excellent material separation and distribution
Air volume reduced by 30 % compared to the state-of-the-art WindFormer
Less usage of raw material
Reduced energy consumption
Lower sanding allowance in combination with CPS+ continuous press
Less space required
Premium board surface for direct printing or laminating
Ideally suited for modernization measures
Technical features
WindFormer:
Material infeed with cascade effect
Separation for surface layer mainly due to air (particle weight) in combination with roller screen (particle size)
2 m shorter than the state-of-the-art WindFormer
New PB Scalper:
Fully automated cross profiler underneath the forming belt for adjusting the material's cross distribution
Forming station with only one rake spreader head for core layer particles due to the integration of the new PB Scalper
