Continual process and assembly to manufacture chipboard from e.g. sawdust, wood shavings or wood chips

摘要

A continually operated chipboard manufacturing press has a chamber with an inlet for loose wood particles e.g. sawdust, wood shavings or chips. The chips pass in loose condition through a channel in which the particles are steam-heated, moistened, pressed with a bonding agent, and then from which residual moisture is expelled. Also claimed is a commensurate process in which a conveyer system is presented on both sides of the chipboard and transports the board through the assembly. The process recycles used steam and heat.
