On February 7, 2018, Chinese wood-based panel manufacturer Anhui Huaining County Kelin Wood Industry Co. Ltd. produced the first board on its new Dieffenbacher particleboard plant. Acceptance of the plant took place on May 4, two months prior to the contractually agreed date.
“The smooth installation and commissioning by Dieffenbacher enabled us to start full-load production significantly earlier than planned,” said Anhui Kelin chairman Zhu Jiake. “This early acceptance is a prime example of the good cooperation between Anhui Kelin and Dieffenbacher,” added Dieffenbacher project manager Stefan Hellmich.
The new plant in Anqing, in the Chinese province of Anhui, is designed to produce almost 1,000 m³ of particleboard per day. It produces boards with a width of 2,100 to 2,480 mm and a thickness of 6 to 38 mm.
