In a milestone for a revolutionary Siempelkamp concept in China, Jiangsu Huidian
New Materials Co, Ltd. put its U-flaker into operation at its Shuyang site. This is the Siempelkamp Group’s third U-flaker that has been installed in China. Two others are being operated at plants in Guangxi and Shandong.
The U-flaker, developed by Siempelkamp’s subsidiary Pallmann, sets new standards for this type of board both in terms of product quality and resource efficiency. This process allows the use of smaller log diameters of less than 80 millimetres and other wood assortments that would otherwise not be suitable for other direct flaking processes.
