Application of water and release agent
The task
Increasing productivity, lowering material consumption
To quickly activate the adhesive with wood fibreboards, steam is pressed into the briquette. The so-called steam shock makes high moisture of the entire fibre material unnecessary and optimises the quality of the boards. In addition, the fibre cake must not adhere to the mould substrate nor the press when it is loaded on the transport belt to prevent soiling the system. The task consist of applying water precision-metered on the fibre cake to reach these effects.
Application of water
The so-called steam shock activates the adhesive more quickly and reduces the pressing time. This results in higher production speeds and greater board density or smoother surface. In turn, this reduces sanding or grinding processes and lowers the material consumption.
