ARAUCO is a global leading manufacturer of forest products, serving customers with excellence in manufacturing and distribution of wood products. ARAUCO Group has invested in the Internal Resin Injection System for their plant in Trupan, Chile. Sunds Fibertech will deliver a complete resin dosing and injection system, including automation and start-up. The start-up will be done in Q4, 2024.

“This investment fits very well with our strategy to use the latest technology to meet ARAUCO‘s sustainability targets. We are looking forward to executing this project with Sunds Fibertech,” says Raul Muñoz, CTO, ARAUCO Group.
Injecting resin from the center of the blowline will save resin by optimal mixing and requires less maintenance as it has only one nozzle. The system can be used for both UF and MDI resin.
