The scope of delivery includes a 3-head forming station, the forming line and a 42 m long CPS+ continuous press with an emissions control system. In addition, Dieffenbacher is supplying the raw board handling and storage systems, sanding line, strapping and extraction systems, and is responsible for the electrical control, transport and assembly supervision.

“With the solutions from Dieffenbacher, especially in the area of the forming station and press, we will achieve excellent board properties and be able to offer our customers the highest-quality particleboard ‘Made in Germany’,” said Fernando Oliveira, Group Technology Director at Sonae Arauco, regarding the Beeskow 50+ project. The new project continues a long relationship between the companies. “Our 22-year-old MDF line with the Dieffenbacher CPS still produces reliably and with the best quality, so we look forward to the new project,” he added.

The Beeskow site has a long history of particleboard production that dates back to June 1966. At that time, the plant was a national enterprise of the GDR with a capacity of 30,000 m³ per year.
