Actual factory and process configurations could vary, but our industry experts know them all.
Rotary dryers are the most commonly used dryer type in the particle board industry. The moisture content of the particles entering the dryers may be as high as 50% for wet particles. Drying reduces the moisture content to 2%-8%.
After the mega dryers, wood particles are first stored in the dry chip silo and then weighed. Belts for these applications should be ATEX-certified and have anti-static and flame-retardant properties.
Main challenges
- Dry chip silo: particles stick to belt
- Weighing belt: very little space to splice the belt endless
Solutions
- Our Flexam EM and EX belts are anti-static
- Our Silam EZP can be installed without disassembling the machine
Les particules provenant de la bande de pesage sont distribuées dans les machines de formage de panneaux, où elles sont préparées avant d’être stratifiées sur la bande de formage.
Main challenges
- Sticking issues
Solutions
- Flexam and Ropanyl belts have excellent release properties
La bande de la ligne de formage est la bande principale dans le procédé de panneau de particules, avançant tout droit jusqu’à l’endroit où le panneau est transféré dans la presse. Les fibres des
Main challenges
- The mat is very fragile before pressing and breaks easily
- Very heavy load – sometimes over two tons on the belt
- Dimensional stability is essential: belt must lay perfectly flat
- Material accumulation due to electrostatic charge build-up
- Glue adheres to the belt covers
Solutions
- Our belts deliver gentle handling and are suitable for small diameter transfers
- Our 2-ply (or DM fabric) is strong yet still flexible
- More wefts or greater monofilament thickness make our belts dimensionally stable
- High-quality carbon yarns ensure discharge of any static build-up
- Ropanyl EM m1 belt resists glue build-up
Le mat de fibres fragile doit d’abord traverser un système de pré-presse où il est comprimé entre la bande de formage et la bande de désaérage. La bande de désaérage aide à comprimer l&rs
Main challenges
- Friction and static cause particles to stick to the belt
- Air is pushed back into the fiber mat
- Belt splices fail
Solutions
- Our de-airing belts are made to let air pass through easily, preventing the particles from getting stuck in the belt fabric
- Pre-press belts can be perforated, allowing air to escape
- Our splice technology ensures a strong and lasting splice
Après le poste de presse, le mat de fibres est transporté jusqu’aux postes de presse, découpé en panneaux et alimenté dans la presse multiétages. Un cylindre géant comprime les panneaux en leur forme e
Main challenges
- Splices fail due to glue pollution
Solutions
- Our ZipLink® fabric uses monofilament so glue cannot penetrate the splice
L’injection de vapeur est un système d’alimentation spécial qui utilise une bande supérieure et une bande inférieure pour injecter de la vapeur dans le mat de fibres, ce qui accélère le procéd&ea
Main challenges
- Product sticks to belt
Solutions
- Our Fabric EZP belt without silicone coating overcomes sticking
Une fois que les panneaux ont été comprimés, ils sont transportés vers une énorme roue refroidisseuse, également appelée la spiraleuse à étoile, pour être refroidis (l’air les refro
Main challenges
- High temperatures reduce belt lifetime
Solutions
- ZipLink® carboxylated Nitrile belts are made for heat & wear resistance
Les panneaux finis sont désormais prêts à être entreposés, et doivent être déplacés jusqu’à leur lieu d’entreposage.
Main challenges
- Aggressive release agents and heavy operational demands reduce belt lifetime
Solutions
- We have belts with excellent chemical and wear resistance
