Particleboard plant for Plitspichprom with Generation 8 ContiRoll

Four orders for the Russian market alone were received in 2015. At the end of December Plitspichprom, which belongs to the industrial SOUZ Group, activated the contract, which was concluded in 2014, for the supply of a complete particleboard plant including a Generation 8 ContiRoll press.

The SOUZ Group had already ordered two Siempelkamp plants back in 1990 for its Priosersk location in northern Russia. Within the scope of this order Siempelkamp supplied the Russian markets with its first continuous press.
The current order consists of a complete plant which will be built in Balabanovo and will replace an outdated multi-daylight press for particleboard production of soviet design.

The 6ft x 18.8m Generation 8 ContiRoll press features innovative pressure distribution plates, an extended cylinder bed and many new equipment features. The press will operate virtually isobaric and will manufacture boards with unprecedented quality. The plant is designed to achieve 180,000m3/year.

The equipment for the front-end of the line including chippers, flakers and mills will be supplied by Pallman, specialist for size reduction and preparation technology with headquarters in Zweibrücken, Germany.

Plitspichprom is an expert in the production of special panels used for furniture and in construction. The particle and mat-forming technology will be designed to meet the customer's requirements.

The EcoFormer SL, developed by the Italian Siempelkamp subsidiary CMC Texpan, will be used for surface layer and mat forming while Siempelkamp subsidiary Büttner will supply technology including a drum dryer designed for a capacity of 36 metric tons/hour.
