Mende Press
STEEL BELT FOR WOOD BASED PANEL INDUSTRY | MENDE PRESS
Mingke Steel Belts can be applied to wood based panel (WBP) industry for continuous presses to produce Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), High Density Fiberboard (HDF), Particle Board (PB), Chipboard, Oriented Structural Board (OSB), Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), etc.
Compared with the double belt press, Mende press is an old type of press. It uses a stainless steel belt with thickness of 1.8 ~ 2.0mm. Its working principle is similar to that of a rubber drum vulcanizer (Rotocure). During the operation of the equipment, the steel belt is constantly folded back and forth at high speed. Such bending procedure requires extremely high strength (tensile, yield, fatigue) of the steel belt. In China, Mingke MT1650 steel belts are running on most of the Mende press lines.
In wood based panel industry, there are three types of continuous presses:
● Double Belt Press, mainly produce MDF/HDF/PB/OSB/LVL/…
● Mende Press (which is also known as Calender), mainly produce thin MDF.
● Single Opening Press, mainly produce PB/OSB.
All around the world, the famous continuous press manufacturers are:
● SIEMPELKAMP, from Germany
● DIEFFENBACHER, from Germany
● DIEFFENBACHER-SWPM, from China
● FOMA, from China
● BINOS, from Germany
● IMAL PAL, from Italy
