Siempelkamp extends support to Mekong Wood MDF in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Mekong Wood MDF Joint Stock Company placed an order for a complete MDF plant with Siempelkamp. With this project, the company, well-established in the wood-based panel industry, is entering the board production business, which will be primarily fed by the local raw materials acacia and eucalyptus.
The heart of the new factory will be a forming and press line with ContiRoll® in the 8′ x 47.1 m format with NEO press infeed. This special infeed geometry is designed to process acacia; the extended, highly flexible infeed heating plate facilitates deaeration of the mat and prevents blowouts and steel belt damage even at high production speeds. Plant availability, capacity and operational reliability can be significantly increased with this plant design.
The plant will be designed for an annual production capacity of over 400,000 m3, which will be supplied mainly to the furniture industry. The thickness range for these boards is focused on 15 to 17 mm, with a possible spectrum of 3.5 to 32 mm.
“This order is a complement to our commitment to introduce press concepts for processing the most demanding raw materials extremely successfully to the market. We are pleased to accompany Mekong Wood’s entry into board production – and to follow up our good reputation with another excellent performance,” says Marc Müller, Head of Commercial Sales at Siempelkamp.
Siempelkamp is a system supplier of press lines and complete plants for the wood-based panel industry, metal forming, and the composites and rubber industries.
