Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

laminating plants including the order and warehouse management system as well
as material fl ow control.
Firmly-established in the market is our multi-piston press for short-cycle laminating.
This press concept accommodates those manufacturers who frequently need to
change their board sizes.
Compared to a standard short-cycle press, a multi-piston press features an even
pressure distribution for high board size variations. This even pressure distribution
is achieved by arranging more press cylinders with shorter distances between them
in length and cross direction. With individual hydraulic control of each press cylinder,
precise adjustment of the pressure distribution is attained.
We also specialize in handling equipment designed for panels, decorative papers,
paper lay-up systems, loader and unloader units, as well as storage system technology.
The installation of a 1,650 x 6,350 mm short-cycle press at Flakeboard
III, USA, has progressed in 2009. This is already the third
line at a third location for this customer.
We received a new order from Brazil. Our customer Duratex
ordered a 2,250 x 5,800 mm short-cycle press. The delivery of this
press is anticipated for the second half of 2010. This is Duratex’s
second order for this location. The current order includes a high-
