As wood supply is scarce and chip quality gets worse these days, chip washing system is an essential part of MDF production because of the following benefits:
- Removal of contaminants: To prevent refiner plate from wearing out quickly by contaminants such as mud, sand, stone and metal. It reduce refiner plate consumption and most importantly for the purpose of higher productivity.
- Prolong wear parts' lifespan: Besides refiner plate, lifespan of other parts that come into contact with chips or fiber such as plug screw, discharge screw, blow line, etc. can be prolonged. Replacement and reconditioning of above parts are very costly to the
company.
- Better fiber quality: To improve fiber quality through chip washing system by controlling moisture content of wood chips and removal of barks.
- Reduce Off-grade product: Due to consistency of fiber moisture content, press profile can be readjusted for improvement (higher speed) and better product quality.
- Saves Energy: To enable users to save energy from various aspect of production such as reduction of cooking time, lower specific energy consumption (SEC), and shorter pressing time.
- Saves Glue: To reduce glue consumption for better fiber quality improves bonding property.
- Improved Surface Quality: To produce brighter surface of panel board with washed chips.
