Siempelkamp sold complete particleboard line to Belarus

Belarus is located in the northeastern part of Europe and borders with Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine as well as Lithuania and Latvia in the North. For the 10 million inhabitants, the per-capita consumption of wood-based products is low compared to the western part of Europe.
This, however, may change soon because Siempelkamp has sold a high-performance particleboard line to the Ivatsevichdrev company. This line is designed to reach a guaranteed daily capacity of 800 m³ and, according to the customer’s request, will allow a buffer of +30 percent. With a yearly capacity of approx. 330,000 m³, the country’s production of particleboard will almost double.
The plant will be built in Ivatsevichi, in between the Polish border and Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
An old Russian particleboard line is currently operating at this location.
The contract was signed in September of 2008. The scope of supply for the outside areas of the plant includes the following: a complete chipping line for the processing of primarily log wood but also small amounts of short wood, including storage for wood chips as well as the equipment for chipping, screening and post-crushing. Furthermore, the scope of supply includes dry particle silos for the surface and core layer material, a resin preparation and dosing system as well as the glue blenders for surface and core layers.
