Thick OSB Continuous Press  For Pallet Manufacturing 40-100mm ThicknesOSB From MINGHUNG wood based panel production line


I. Introduction to Directional Particle Board  

OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is an engineered wood panel made by oriented layering of wood strands, bonded with resin and consolidated under heat and pressure. The strands are aligned cross-directionally in three layers (face layers longitudinally/core layer transversely), providing high strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability. OSB offers advantages in raw material efficiency (compatible with fast-growing species/small-diameter logs) and environmental performance (no formaldehyde emissions), making it a mainstream alternative to plywood.  


Production Process

1.Log processing

Debarking → Stranding → Drying (3-5% MC)  

2. Gluing and Directional Treatment

Resin Blending → Oriented Forming (Surface: 0°-15°, Core: 45°-90°)  

3. Hot pressing molding

   Continuous Press: 180-220°C/15-25MPa, Curing 40-90s  

4. Post-processing

   Cooling → Trimming → Sanding (Thickness tol. ±0.1mm)

.Continuous press machine  


1.working principle

Continuous presses operate via a steel belt circulation system

1. Forming Station: Oriented strands form a continuous mat;  

2. Pre-press Zone: Initial compaction to remove air;  

3. Hot Press Zone: Mat passes through heated rollers (180–220°C, 3–5 MPa) under steel belts for resin curing;  

4. Cooling Zone: Gradual pressure/temperature reduction to relieve internal stress;  

5. Cutting System: Sawing the continuous strip to length.  

> Advantages: High output (speeds up to 1,200 mm/s), thickness accuracy (±0.1 mm), 15–20% lower energy consumption vs. batch presses.  


2.Core Structure and Composition

Hot press plate system: Composed of multiple heating plates, the interior is heated by heat transfer oil or steam to provide uniform temperature.

Steel belt system: Two circulating steel belts (upper and lower) hold the slabs and run continuously to ensure uniform pressure transmission.

Hydraulic system: Pressure is applied through hydraulic cylinders, and the pressing force in different areas can be adjusted in sections.

Control system: PLC or computer control, real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pressure and speed.

Auxiliary equipment: includes paving machines, pre-pressing machines, cooling sections, sawing systems, etc.

3. Technical advantages

Continuous production: Compared with intermittent presses (such as multi-layer hot presses), production efficiency is greatly improved.

Stable quality: pressure and temperature are evenly distributed, the density of the board is highly consistent, the internal stress is small, and it is not easy to deform.

Energy saving and environmental protection: high thermal energy utilization rate, sufficient curing of adhesives, and reduced formaldehyde release.

Flexibility: The pressure curve can be adjusted to adapt to the production of boards of different thicknesses and densities.


III. Key Technical Characteristics of Ultra-thick OSB Continuous Pressing Machine  


Feature

Technical Solution

Heat Penetration

Extended press length (60m+), longer dwell time (120–180s for thick boards)

Zoned Temp Control

Independent heating zones prevent surface scorching/incomplete core curing

Enhanced Pressure

Hydraulic cylinders ≥30,000 kN, stepped pressure profile (higher pressure in core)

Belt Stiffness

Thickened steel belts (≥2.5mm) + rigid support rollers resist rebound force

Thickness Monitoring

Multi-channel γ-ray gauges with real-time pressure adjustment (±0.2mm)

Cooling Strategy

Gradual cooling (80°C→40°C) to prevent delamination


 IV. Thickness Range of Ultra-thick OSB and Standard Specifications  

Thickness Definition: Industry standard defines ≥38 mm as "Ultra-Thick OSB";  

Standard Thicknesses:  

  Construction: 38 mm, 45 mm, 57 mm  

  Industrial: 60 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm (max. 150 mm)  

Density Control: Core density reduced to 650–700 kg/m³ for weight/strength balance, face layers at 750–800 kg/m³.
