GERMANY – Siempelkamp received the order for a state-of-the-art OSB plant from Interspan, Hungary – a company of the Swiss Krono Group. This will be the fourth OSB plant that Siempelkamp has sold to the Krono Holding AG.

The engineering of the plant took place in cooperation with Kronotec Luzern, Switzerland and the Belgium Siempelkamp subsidiary Sicoplan. Next to the screening technology, resin application, and forming and press line with a 9‘ x 28.8 m ContiRoll® press, the complete finishing line and the pneumatic and mechanical conveyors are part of Siempelkamp’s scope of supply.

At the Vásárosnaményi location, Hungary, close to the Ukrainian border, the plant will produce 1,060 m3 of OSB daily. The 9‘ x 28.8 m ContiRoll® Generation 8 press will also allow the production of light-weight boards.

The ContiRoll® press for the Interspan plant can be extended to 38.7 m at a later time.  Together with Siempelkamp‘s innovative mat preheater ContiBooster the plant capacity could thus be increased by almost 100% to 2,000 m3 daily.

The Siempelkamp scope of supply for Interspan is completed with the control technology systems Pro-IQ®.maintenance and Prod-IQ®.quality. Together with special automation technology they will provide for high efficiency of the Siempelkamp plant. The installation of the plant is scheduled to start in fall of this year.
