HOMANIT Polska, Karlino A Dieffenbacher High Capacity MDF-/HDF Thin board line 01 I 2010

HOMANIT - A pioneer in thin board production The German HOMANIT group is a pioneer in thin board production. In 1943 already HOMANIT has begun production of thin hard board on a small scale line using the “wet process” technology. Production on industrial scale started in 1949 with a second, bigger hard board line. By offering high quality thin hardboard HOMANIT entered in to a number of fast developing markets such as the furniture-, flooring- and automotive industry. Since 1990 HOMANIT was forced by economic and environmentally issues to look for other options than the expensive and environment...

New standard in THDF line with Dieffenbacher A further THDF (thin high density fibreboard) line with an annual capacity of approx. 250.000 m³ has been built for HOMANIT in the years 1999/2000. This line, which has been completed under Dieffenbacher`s responsibility in an 18 months period from ground breaking to first board production, produced the first quality panel in October 2000. This plant, built under Dieffenbacher`s responsibility has at this time already set new standards in technique and technology for the areas of fibre spreading and continuous pressing at high operating speed. The...

State of the art thinboard line in Karlino The rapid growth of the markets in the Eastern European countries finally led to the decision of the HOMANIT group to build a new state of the art high capacity thin board line in Karlino, the former location of an old hardboard plant in the North West of Poland. Capacity: Panel thickness: Total thickness: 240.000m3 per year 2,9mm 1,5 - 12mm The previous excellent experience with Dieffenbacher`s competence, cooperation and reliability has resulted in the decision of HOMANIT to award the Engineering- and Supply Contract for the new line to Dieffenbacher....

Specifications In a very close cooperation between the HOMANIT thin board experts and the team of engineers of Dieffenbacher the detailed technical and technological specifications have been defined . Based on these definitions the line concept has been developed with special care on advanced detail engineering solutions for the areas of fibre spreading, forming line and hot pressing. Here are the most important results of this focused engineering development work : Effective dissolving technique integrated into the fibre discharge device of the fibre spreading bin avoids discharge of fibre agglomerates...

Specifications Continuous hot press type CPS, 28 m pressing length, designed for a maximum operating speed of 2000 mm/s and for finished products width dimensions from 1900 mm to 2500 mm. • Simultaneous mat contact above and below in the special design in feed zone of the press avoids “blow back” at high operating speed • The Dieffenbacher “double hinge” system in the area of the lower heating plate in feed zone offers in conjunction with “Vario” cylinders and a “Multipot” cushion and by the option of perpendicular bending of the lower heating plate right from the first press frame the possibilityof...

HOMANIT Polska THDF line The new HOMANIT Polska THDF line produces in continuous 3-shiftoperation since June 9, 2008. On September 3, 2008 the contractually agreed production run for 2 mm board has been successfully completed with an operating speed of 1800 mm/s. The major portion of total production is represented by the 3 mm board for direct painting without prior sanding, which is produced, depending on board width dimension, with line speeds of 1225 mm/s to 1400 mm/s. HOMANIT operates two direct painting lines arranged adjacent to the THDF line. The modern, high capacity THDF production line...
