Indian wood-based panel manufacturer Greenply Industries Limited has remained loyal to Dieffenbacher as its equipment supplier, choosing to order its second MDF line in December 2015. The new line, which has a capacity of 1300 m³ per day, is being set up in the Chittoor district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in southeast India, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The line will be used to manufacture HDF/MDF boards with a thickness ranging from 2.5 mm to 40 mm and a variable width of 1830 mm to 2440 mm. Fast-growing types of wood such as eucalyptus are generally used as the raw material. Production with the new line is scheduled to begin in autumn 2017.

The delivery scope includes a fiber dryer and two SGF sifters, a gluing system, a forming station that includes a scalper with a correction module and a forming line, a CPS 265 – 56 continuous press, a finishing line with two Lukki storage systems, diagonal, trimming and splitting saws, a sanding line and an exhaust system. At 56 meters long, this CPS is the longest continuous press ever sold in Asia.
