Dieffenbacher supplies CEBRO MDF plant to Thailand
21 March 2024Thai MDF producer Wisewoods Co Ltd has commissioned Dieffenbacher to supply a CEBRO MDF plant to expand its production capacity at the company’s headquarters in Khao Yoi in the province of Phetchaburi, Thailand.
Plant assembly has been underway since January 2024, with the first board production scheduled for Q3, 2024.
The new plant will use Z-Sifter technology and the PROjet glue-saving system to help Wisewoods achieve operational excellence, one of CEBRO’s four pillars.
Wisewoods uses rubberwood fibres as the raw material for its MDF boards.
“Before processing rubberwood, it’s important that the latex components are eliminated from the raw material,” says Visarut Palarit, deputy director at Wisewoods. “The unique Z-Sifter technology was a key reason we chose Dieffenbacher for our new MDF plant, he added.
Holger Ries, area sales director at Dieffenbacher said the Z-shaped sifting stages of the Dieffenbacher Z-Sifter provided a sharp separation line, making the separation of lighter rubberwood particles possible.
Mr Ries said the Z-Sifter also efficiently eliminated other contaminants such as wood residues, glue lumps, fibre deposits, minerals and metals from the fibre flow.
