GERMANY (Notifix).- This past month of April Jixiang Plantation Timber Products Ltd. (Jixiang PTP) as well as Changge Tianzheng System Board Co., Ltd., ordered partial MDF lines from Germany’s Siempelkamp. The installation start for both plants is scheduled for the beginning of 2014.

Changge Tianzheng decided to buy a 4′ concept which is popular in Asia to manufacture MDF with a thickness ranging between 2 and 25 mm at its location in the province of Henan. The press is designed for production speeds of up to 1,300 mm/s.  For its Shishou City location in the Hubei province, Jixiang PTP placed an order for a forming and press line including an 8′ x 22.1 m ContiRoll® for MDF as well as components for the board finishing line.
