Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

Complete program for the
wood-based materials industry
Siempelkamp’s machinery and plants business unit plans, designs, and builds forming
and press lines and complete plants for the wood-based materials industry producing
particleboard, MDF/HDF, OSB and wood-fi ber insulation as well as gypsum-fi ber
boards.
The forming and press lines are the centerpiece of each plant and are setting the technical
standards. They are equipped with the continuous ContiRoll ® press, the world’s fastest
press with speeds of up to 2,000 mm/second for four to fi ve feet wide boards, precise
mat-forming machines, as well as with the pre-heater Contitherm ® for OSB and MDF
production.
Next to the continuous presses with a daily board output of 500 m³ to over 3,000 m³,
Siempelkamp also builds single and multi opening presses.
Plants that Siempelkamp has completely equipped are operating worldwide.
All core components including equipment for wood preparation and gluing, dryers,
forming and press lines, storage, cut-to-size and board handling technologies as well as
the complete automation and visualization are all from one source. Siempelkamp Energy
Systems provides the associated energy systems with outputs of 12 to 85 MW.
In cooperation with the plant planners, the installers and start-up personnel, we supply
turn-key plants which are some of the most effi cient and reliable worldwide.
With each plant comes life-long service including spare parts supply from Europe,
America, and Asia as well as a 24-hour hotline in case of a disaster.
A specifi cally established department for plant modifi cations and upgrades improves
the effi ciency and reliability of older plants with standardized modifi cation packages.
For the surface fi nishing of particleboards and MDF, Siempelkamp offers complete
laminating lines on the basis of melamine-coated papers.
Short-cycle presses are used to laminate furniture boards or laminate fl ooring which
contributes to an extended added value.
Siempelkamp is the world market leader for machines for the production of woodbased
material type boards.
