Energy Saving Effect

（1）Intermittent production requires the press to repeatedly open and close (each cycle includes: loading → closing/pressurizing → holding/heating → depressurizing/opening → unloading).

（2）During opening, loading, and unloading, the high-temperature (200~230°C) press platens are directly exposed to air, losing significant heat through thermal radiation and convection.

（3）Massive steel platens and frames continuously dissipate heat during non-pressing periods, requiring extra energy to maintain temperature.

（1）Continuous operation: The mat continuously enters and moves at constant speed between closed press platens, which are always in the closed and pressurized state.

（2）No opening/closing action: Completely eliminates the time window where platens are exposed and lose heat.

（1）Heat loss reduced by 30%~50% or more (This is the most significant saving).

（2）Eliminates the need for frequent reheating to compensate for temperature drops during opening/closing cycles, drastically reducing the energy required to maintain temperature.

Energy Saving Effect

（1）Temperature distribution across large, single platens can be uneven (especially at edges).

      （2）Heating systems have slow response times, making it difficult to precisely adjust temperature in real-time based on the mat's position.

      （3）Long heat transfer paths (from heating medium → platen → mat surface → mat core) result in lower efficiency.

（1）Zone temperature control: Platens are divided lengthwise into multiple independent heating/cooling zones (often dozens).

      （2）Dynamic temperature adjustment: Each zone can be independently set and precisely controlled, creating an optimized temperature profile:

    Infeed Zone: Lower temperature preheats the mat, driving off some moisture/VOCs, reducing steam explosion risk.

    Main Curing Zone: High temperature/pressure ensures rapid resin curing.

    Outfeed Zone: Gradual cooling sets the board shape, reducing internal stresses and lowering exit temperature.

    Direct contact heating: High-temperature steel belts/cauls directly contact the mat surfaces, enabling highly efficient heat conduction.

（1）Reduces over-heating: Heat is applied only where and when needed, avoiding energy waste.

     （2） Increases curing efficiency: Optimized temperature profile allows resins to cure fully in less effective time.

     （3） Lowers exit board temperature: Reduces subsequent cooling energy consumption

Energy Saving Effect

（1）Each cycle requires driving massive press frames to perform high-frequency, long-stroke opening/closing movements (hydraulic cylinders).

      （2）Each closure requires instantaneous build-up of extremely high pressure (>100 bar), subjecting hydraulic systems to severe shock loads.

      （3）High-pressure oil pumps must be sized for peak power, operating inefficiently at partial load most of the time.

（1）Continuous, uniform motion: Main drive only needs to overcome friction from belts/mats moving between platens.

      （2）Gradual pressure build-up: Pressure is applied progressively and maintained constantly via cylinders/pads in zones, avoiding severe shocks.

      （3）VFD/Servo Control: Drive motors and pumps can use efficient VFD control, adjusting power based on actual load.

（1）Drive/hydraulic system electricity consumption reduced by 50%~70% (compared to intermittent presses of equivalent capacity).

      （2）Smoother equipment operation lowers maintenance costs.

Energy Saving Effect

（1）Limited by opening/closing and loading/unloading times, effective pressing time is low (typically <50%).

      （2）Increasing layers (multi-daylight presses) to boost output results in larger, more energy-intensive equipment.

（1）24/7 continuous production: No loading/unloading pauses, equipment utilization can exceed 95%.

      （2）High line speed: Can reach over 1000 mm/s (depending on board thickness).

      （3）Massive single-line capacity: One continuous press line can exceed 500,000 m³/year, far surpassing multi-daylight presses.

（1）Significantly lower energy per tonne of board: Fixed heat losses and auxiliary equipment energy consumption per m³ of product are drastically reduced.

      （2）Economies of scale: High capacity dilutes unit product energy consumption.

Energy Saving Effect

（1）Exhaust emissions are intermittent and pulsating, complicating heat recovery system design and reducing efficiency.

      （2）Condensate recovery systems must also adapt to cyclic operation.

（1）Generate a stable, continuous flow of high-temperature exhaust gas (relatively constant temperature and flow rate).

      （2）Generate a stable, continuous flow of high-temperature, high-pressure condensate.

（1）Enables heat recovery systems (exhaust heat exchange + flash steam recovery) to be designed and operated at maximum efficiency (as described earlier, recovering 60%~80% of waste heat).

      （2）Recovered thermal energy (hot air, flash steam) can be stably and efficiently supplied to the drying system, maximizing the displacement of primary energy.
