Siempelkamp-Dexco: first board in Agudos

On October 29th, a short-cycle press line made by Siempelkamp produced its first board at Dexco‘s Agudos location. The time span between the start of assembly and this first board was only three months. The short-cycle press line is the fourth that Dexco (formerly Duratex) is building with Siempelkamp at the Agudos location. In addition, the Brazilian wood-based panel producer operates eight Siempelkamp plants with “ContiRoll®” press technology. The contract for the current project was signed in November 2020; 73 days after the arrival of the last container and thus in record time the first board was produced. The plant has a capacity of 240 cycles per hour.
