GERMANY – A complete wood fiber insulation board (WFIB) plant provided by  Dieffenbacher for Bavarian Ziegler Group’s Grafenwöhr site is up and running less than one year after construction began.

The line for rigid WFIB began production on August 30, 2022. Ziegler Group placed its order with Dieffenbacher  on April 1, 2021. Despite a change of location at short notice from Bärnau, 50 km west to Grafenwöhr, construction of the new plant began just five months later, on September 1, 2021.

“We are very pleased that our new Dieffenbacher  WFIB plant had such a rapid and successful start,” explains Andreas Sandner, Commercial Managing Director at Ziegler Group. Dieffenbacher’s scope of supply for the complete plant included a fiber dryer, EVOjet M 2.0 gluing system, the forming station and forming line with prepress, a CSS Continuous Steam Press System, the raw board handling system, electrics and automation and the MyDIEFFENBACHER digital service platform.
