Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

ContiRoll ® –
continuous press
for wood-based
materials
ContiRoll ® results in 2009:
a total of seven accepted presses, fi ve presses in progress,
four installations, four times ‘fi rst board’, eight new orders
Our reference product, the ContiRoll ® , has not lost any of its
power of persuasion in the global markets during 2009. In Brazil
four new ContiRoll ® presses passed the acceptance tests in 2009:
Berneck started operating on a 9’ x 27.1 m press for MDF, Fibraplac
on a 9’ x 33.8 m press for particleboards, and a 9’ x 38.7 m for
particleboards was started up at Satipel in Taquari. Especially
pleasing was the acceptance of a record-size ContiRoll ® press for
MDF at Duratex in Agudos. The 200 th ContiRoll ® has the enormous
length of 77 m (230 ft). The press force is supported by 93 frames
Duratex/Satipel Taquari, Brazil
through which the endless board with a thickness ranging from
2.5 to 37.3 mm moves. With a board thickness of 15 mm, a daily
board output of 2,400 m³ is achieved. This fi gure corresponds to
a yearly board output of 800,000 m³. The board size produced at
Duratex is 2,850 x 5,600 mm (9.4 x 18.4 ft). Duratex has been a
customer of Siempelkamp for many years. The business relationship
between both companies has existed since the 1950s. In the
last few years alone, the Brazilian wood-based materials manufacturer
from São Paulo has purchased four lines from Siempelkamp.
Additional acceptance tests were completed in Thailand for our
customer Vanachai for a 8’ x 38.7 m ContiRoll ® press for MDF
and in China for Dare VI for a 8.5’ x 37.1 m ContiRoll ® for MDF.
