CHILE – In May 2024, Sunds Fibertech and Arauco finalized agreements for the supply of cutting-edge resin-saving equipment.
Arauco’s decision to invest in this advanced technology for their Trupan facility in Chile underscores their commitment to staying at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing practices. With delivery and start-up slated for the fourth quarter of 2024, the partnership between Sunds Fibertech and Arauco promises to revolutionize resin application methods in the wood-based panel industry.
By injecting resin directly from the center of the blowline, Sunds Fibertech’s system not only promises significant savings in resin consumption but also minimizes maintenance requirements with its single-nozzle design. This adaptable solution accommodates both UF and MDI resins, catering to the evolving needs of manufacturers seeking to produce formaldehyde-free boards.
Arauco’s endorsement of this groundbreaking technology reflects a broader trend towards eco-friendly production methods and signals the potential for widespread adoption across the industry, both in South America and beyond.
