A dryer is upgraded<br />
Another successful modifi cation was carried out for Kronolux<br />
Sanem in Luxemburg: For this customer we replaced the drives<br />
for the MDF forming line and ContiRoll ® with Synamics drives with<br />
Simotion motion control. The replacement resulted in increased<br />
plant availability and improved accuracy of speed. Our customer<br />
PT Rimba Partikel in Indonesia benefi tted from increased capacities<br />
after a modifi cation to the existing particle preparation system.<br />
Other modifi cations that were accepted by customers in <strong>2009</strong><br />
included the format adjustment of a mat-forming machine at<br />
Giriu Bizonas (Lithuania), the change-over of the belt tracking<br />
rolls to hydraulic adjustment at Swedspan (Sweden), the modifi<br />
cation of the former head at Kronopol SP (Poland), the retrofi<br />
tting of the press control at Partikel Planner (Thailand) and<br />
the upgrading of a microprocessor at PT Listari (Indonesia). At<br />
Masonite (South Africa) we replaced the press pistons of the<br />
company’s fi rst press which was built in 1949. The customer will<br />
benefi t from less downtime due to less maintenance and repairs.<br />
For the same customer we supplied new press cylinders for a press<br />
that’s only three years younger.<br />
Another important project in <strong>2009</strong> was the partial delivery for a<br />
press extension and modifi cation at Egger Brilon. Here, we are<br />
upgrading and extending a ContiRoll ® press for particleboard by<br />
5 m (16 ft) from 38 to 43 m (125 to 141 ft). Next to other modifi<br />
cations, the press was at the same time equipped with pressure<br />
distribution plates for increased capacity and improved board<br />
properties. After the modifi cation this customer will operate the<br />
world’s most state-of-the-art and effi cient ContiRoll ® press for<br />
the production of particleboard.<br />
Other ongoing projects include a change-over of the press from<br />
MDF to particleboard for our Chilean customer Masisa. At Cotopaxi<br />
(Ecuador) the frames of an old short-cycle press are replaced<br />
with new frames, Luyuan (China) will receive an SPC upgrade, at<br />
Swedspan (Sweden) we are carrying out a press extension and at<br />
Kronospan (Switzerland) a change-over to a wider double chain.<br />
