The 8-foot continuous press is the jewel in the crown of the wood-based panel industry, and its technical complexity is comparable to that of a semiconductor lithography machine. Despite the huge investment, targeting the high-end market is still the only way for leading companies to upgrade.
The 8-foot continuous particleboard hot press is the core industrial equipment for producing ultra-wide particleboard (width ≥ 8 feet/2.44 meters), representing the high-end technology of wood-based panel manufacturing. It has great technical significance:
-Breaking through standard limitations: The maximum width of conventional presses is 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters), and 8-foot (2.44 meters) presses can directly produce large-size panels, avoiding joint gaps and meeting special needs such as high-end furniture and ship decks.
-Reducing cutting losses: Extra-wide panels can be cut on demand, increasing raw material utilization by 8%-12%.

1. Continuous Process: Unlike batch presses, this system operates non-stop, the sawdust and resin are formed into infinitely long slabs by the paving machine, which are pulled by the steel belt at a uniform speed through the high temperature and high pressure zone and continuously fed into the press to achieve uninterrupted production.Efficiency increased by 3-5 times, energy consumption reduced by 20%, and board density more uniform.This ensures high output and consistent quality, ideal for large-scale manufacturing. 2. Dimensions: The "8ft" designation typically refers to the width of the press, allowing production of standard 8ft-wide particleboard sheets. Length can be adjusted or cut post-production, as the process is continuous. 3. Functionality: Heat and Pressure Application: Uses heated plates or rollers to compress and cure resin-bonded wood particles. Temperature (typically 150–200°C) and pressure (15–25 MPa) are precisely controlled to activate the resin and form durable boards. Zoned Control: May include multiple zones for gradual curing, ensuring uniform density and strength. 4. Components:

| ◆ | Key Specifications |
Parameter | Range | Notes |
Working Width | 2440 mm (8 ft) | Expandable to 10 ft |
Production Speed | 20–80 m/min | ~40 m/min for 18mm board |
Daily Output | 800–1500 m³/day | ≈300,000 m³/year |
Thickness Range | 2.5–100 mm | Supports thin/thick boards |
Heating Method | Thermal oil/steam/electric | Temp. control ±1.5°C |
Total Power | ≥8000 kW | Press section only |
| ◆ | Advantages: |
Efficiency: Higher production rates compared to batch presses. Consistency: Uniform thickness and density due to continuous control. Flexibility: Adjustable settings for varying board thicknesses (e.g., 3mm to 40mm) and resin types. |
| ◆ | Applications: |
Used in particleboard plants to produce sheets for furniture, flooring, and high-end construction materials. |
| ◆ | A brief introduction to particleboard |
Particleboard is a man-made board made by mixing fragments of wood or other wood fiber materials (such as wood chips, shavings, sawdust) with synthetic resin adhesives and then pressing them under high temperature and high pressure. |
| ◆ | Production proces |
1. Raw material preparation: wood → chipping → screening → drying (moisture content 3%~6%) 2. Gluing and mixing: chips + adhesive (accounting for 8%~12%) → high-speed mixing 3. Paving and forming: evenly paving into slabs (layered structure: fine material surface layer + coarse material core layer) 4. Hot pressing and curing: continuous flat pressing hot press (temperature 180~220℃, pressure 2~5MPa, time 3~15 minutes) 5. Post-processing: cooling → trimming → sanding → quality inspection |
| ◆ | Specifications and dimensions |
Regular sizes are generally 4ft*8ft, 4ft*12ft, 5ft*10ft, etc., and thicknesses include 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1". |
This machine is pivotal in industries requiring cost-effective, high-quality particleboard, balancing productivity with precision engineering.The global share of production lines longer than 8 feet will increase from 15% in 2010 to 35% in 2023.
