Furniture-Grade MDF Continuous Press Surface Smoothness Is High

The continuous flat press hot press, with its precise temperature and pressure control, mirror-finished steel strip technology and efficient heat recovery system, has become the core equipment for manufacturing furniture-grade MDF.
The continuous flat press hot press for producing furniture-grade MDF and the continuous flat press hot press for producing ordinary MDF have the same core structural principle.The Difference Lies in "Precision & Cleanliness" .
- Similarity: Basic press framework and continuous operation principle.
- Core Difference: Furniture-grade presses achieve Ra≤0.5μm surfaces, ENF formaldehyde levels, and defect-free boards via:
- Mirror belts (Ra≤0.1μm)
- Sub-millimeter temp/pressure control
- Ultra-clean production
- Fiber-level defect interception
- Analogy: Standard presses are "commercial trucks"; furniture-grade presses are "F1 race cars"—same chassis, but upgraded engine, controls, and materials.

OSB MDF Production Line


Ⅰ.Core Host System

Module

Configuration Requirements

Function

1. Mirror-Finished Steel Belt

- Material: High-nickel alloy steel (Surface hardness ≥ HRC 62)

Direct contact with mat for heat/pressure transfer; defines initial surface smoothness

- Roughness: Ra ≤ 0.1μm (Laser-polished)

- Tension control: Servo motor ±1% dynamic adjustment

2. Multi-Stage Pressure System

- Pressure zones: ≥40 independent hydraulic zones

Eliminates edge looseness; density deviation ≤±2%

- Control accuracy: ±0.5 bar

- Edge pressure boost: +10% compensation

3. Precision Temperature Control

- Temperature zones: ≥50 zones

Optimizes resin curing; minimizes pre-cured layer

- Control accuracy: ±1℃

- Heat transfer medium: High-purity synthetic thermal oil (300℃ rated)

4. Thickness Control System

- Laser thickness gauge resolution: 0.01mm

Full-width thickness tolerance ±0.05mm

- Closed-loop response time: ≤0.1s

Pressing Temp.

200–210°C

180–220°C (zoned)

Specific Pressure

250–350 bar

300–500 bar (mid-zone)

Mat Moisture

10–12%

8–10% (reduce steam explosion)

Sanding Allowance

0.15–0.2mm/side

0.2–0.3mm/side (fully remove pre-cured layer)


Ⅳ.The surface smoothness realization process of furniture-grade MDF

Hot pressing stage: The mirror steel strip is directly pressed to form an initial smooth surface (Ra ≈ 0.8-1.2μm).

Sanding stage:

1.The thick sand belt is fixed by four sand frames (the particle size of the sand belt is refined step by step: P80→P150→P240→P320).

2.The final surface Ra value can be controlled to 0.3-0.5μm, meeting the requirements of UV coating or PVC veneer.
