CHINA - A state of the art THDF plant producing ultra thin boards, primarily for use by furniture manufacturers, will be built by Dieffenbacher for Guangxi Lelin Forestry Development Co. Ltd. in China.

Guangxi Lelin will produce boards ranging from 1 to 5 mm in thickness at the new high-speed THDF plant near Nanning in Guangxi province expected to be completed by June 2019. Eucalyptus wood will be the main raw material.

“Dieffenbacher is the clear market leader in China and offers superior technologies, especially in the field of thin board production,” said Wei Mingkuai, President of Guangxi Lelin.

The THDF plant will include a wide range of Dieffenbacher equipment, including a PROjet system that uses up to 15% less glue than conventional blow-line gluing systems, a CPS+ continuous press, sifter, forming station, forming line and finishing line.
