Art Progress and Ugra Plit:
Two premières, two times “first board”!
Twice in the last few months a Siempelkamp project in Eastern Europe reached the final
stage with the pressing of the “first board”. At the end of October 2010 this event took
place for Ugra Plit in Russia, at the end of February 2011 for the Ukrainian company Art
Progress. Both plants represent a première.
For Ugra Plit at the Khanty Mansiysk location Siempelkamp
contributed to building the first modern particleboard
production plant in Siberia. the plant was built in an area of
Russia that has one of the highest wood resources. 54 percent of
the region that covers an area of 530,000 km² is covered in
forests. the state-run company decided to go ahead with the
project to revive the local wood-based materials industry beyond
the gas and oil production in order to increase the added value
in the country.
the Siempelkamp scope of supply for Ugra Plit included a
7’ x 18.5 m ContiRoll ® press, the planning and engineering, a thermal
energy plant, a dryer, a diagonal saw and the automation.
the plant produces particleboard with a thickness ranging from
6 to 40 mm. Initially designed for a daily capacity of 500 m³, the
plant can be modified to increase the daily capacity to 800 m³.
Work has already started on a 10 m extension of the ContiRoll ®
press associated with the capacity increase.
A challenge for this project are the extreme climatic conditions:
For seven months wintry conditions prevail in the western Siberian
region with temperatures dipping to minus 40 °C. the average
temperatures in July, the warmest month of the year, reach highs
between only 16 and 19 °C. nevertheless, Ugra Plit now has
a reliable particleboard production and provides new and
qualitative jobs for the region.
First MDF plant and a short-cycle press for the Ukraine
A new Siempelkamp plant for Art Progress in the Ukraine also
recently pressed its “first board”. the newcomer in the woodbased
materials industry ordered for the Korosten location a
complete plant with a 9’ x 35.4 m ContiRoll ® which can be
extended to 40.4 m. the order volume also includes the planning
and engineering, an energy plant, a dryer, a cooling and stacking
line, a finishing line, storage technology and a packing line.
As the first MDF plant in the Ukraine, this plant also represents
another first. the projected capacity amounts to 750 m³ per day,
that is, 250,000 m³ per year. the board thickness ranges from
3 to 40 mm.
