GERMANY – With the order from Plitspichprom, a Russian plant operator, 2015 came to an end as a successful year for Siempelkamp. Four orders for the Russian market alone were received in 2015. 

At the end of December the company of the “SOUZ” Group activated the contract, which was concluded in 2014, for the supply of a complete particleboard plant including a Generation 8 ContiRoll® press.

The “SOUZ” Group had already ordered two Siempelkamp plants back in 1990 for its Priosersk location in northern Russia. Within the scope of this order, for the first time, Siempelkamp supplied to the Russian market the first continuous press.

The current order consists of a complete plant for particleboard production that will be built in Balabanovo and will replace an outdated multi-daylight press for particleboard production of soviet design. Plitspichprom decided to buy a state-of-the-art 6’ x 18.8 m Generation 8 ContiRoll® which will manufacture boards with unprecedented quality. The plant is designed to achieve an annual capacity of up to 180,000 m³.
