20 Machinery and Plants Business Unit _ ContiRoll ® Presses<br />
If all projects are added up, 446.5 m of ContiRoll ® were<br />
accepted by our customers in <strong>2008</strong>. Altogether these past<br />
milestones as well as new projects which started in <strong>2008</strong><br />
illustrate the ongoing success of our ContiRoll ® press in the<br />
wood-based products industry. However, this success can only<br />
be maintained if the internal logistics are right. By consequently<br />
implementing the structured ContiRoll ® design concept, predefined<br />
parts from stock production could be used. Despite the<br />
high order volume, the process flow in all incorporated<br />
company areas maintained a smooth operation. Another<br />
success component: While in the past we used purchased<br />
parts from external producers, since <strong>2008</strong> we are performing<br />
the welded construction of the infeed and outfeed drums inhouse.<br />
In doing so we have turned an important component<br />
part for the ContiRoll ® press into a quality product made by<br />
<strong>Siempelkamp</strong>.<br />

New Orders<br />
The course is set for another successful year for our ContiRoll ®<br />
business. Our continuous press will continue to set milestones<br />
in 2009. A total of 14 new orders in <strong>2008</strong> demonstrate that<br />
our product continues to be successful in the worldwide<br />
markets. As in 2007, China will remain our top customer with<br />
six orders. Second in line will be Brazil and Indonesia with two<br />
ContiRoll ® orders each followed by Turkey, Russia, Belarus,<br />
and the Ukraine with one order each. As far as the type of<br />
ContiRoll ® is concerned, presses for the production of MDF<br />
with a total of eleven orders were highest in demand, followed<br />
by three ContiRoll ® for the production of particleboard.<br />
The six ContiRoll ® orders from customers in China are<br />
completely designed for the production of MDF: Huquian<br />
ordered an 8’ x 28.8 m press for thin MDF with a production<br />
capacity of 180,000 m³. Two more 8’ x 33.8 m presses will<br />
produce boards for Yingang II and Yingang III – the first will<br />
have a yearly production capacity of 250,000 m³, while the<br />
second press has a yearly capacity of 270,000 m³.<br />
A shorter 8’ x 23.8 m ContiRoll ® was sold to Guangxi; two<br />
8’ x 27.1 m presses were ordered by Guodong, our fifth<br />
Chinese customer.
