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.

Flexibility: Adjustable settings for varying board thicknesses (e.g., 3mm to 40mm) and resin types.

Used in particleboard plants to produce sheets for furniture, flooring, and high-end construction materials.

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.

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

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".
