Wood forming machine FORMATOR

automatic

The GreCon FORMATOR removes material from the moulding strand with a segmented scalper and then measures whether the segment of the scalper needs to be raised or lowered. This opens up new optimisation potential for the production of high-quality wood-based panels. In addition to a significant reduction in scatter variants, the FORMATOR can also be used to produce special mat profiles. Benefits at a glance Reduction of material costs Saving of wood, glue and energy Reduction of the material added just for sanding off Reduction of run-in times upon product changes Improve Quality More homogeneous products Less rejects for the end customer Better processing by downstream processes (sawing, sanding, milling, …) Better coatability (e.g. lacquering) Firm edges due to reduced material removal of the edge overfill Reduction of process costs Higher production speed Higher capacity utilisation Higher availability of production facilities Steel belt protection Longer service life of sanding belts Reduction of logistic costs Lighter panels Easier panel handling Design of the system The GreCon FORMATOR automatically standardises the material distribution in the wood-based panel mat, resulting in remarkable improvements in panel quality and significant savings in material, process and logistics costs. The combination of segmented scalper and MATCONTROL HF X-ray scanner achieves high spreading accuracy. Both systems are integrated into a control loop so that the material distribution on the mat is set automatically for the first time.
