Installation of a Siempelkamp chipboard plant in Ugie (South Africa)

SGS was contracted with the partial mechanical and electrical installation of a Siempelkamp chipboard production line at the new location. Included in the installation were the gluing station (incl. steel construction), the forming line (incl. steel construction), the pressing line, the finishing, the pneumatic transport system (from Scheuch) as well as the short tact-plant, the Anton saws and the complete thermal oil piping.

Uberaba: Our first large project in Brazil was completed in June 2008. The project involved the mechanical and electrical installation of a Siempelkamp chipboard froming and pressing line, cooling and unloading station, the sanding line and the packing unit. At peak times there were 70 mechanics on location in Uberaba, Minas Gerais.

Taquari: After the first successful project in Brazil, we received the first large follow-up order. Similar to the project in Uberaba, a Siempelkamp chipboard froming and pressing line, cooling and unloading station, the sanding line and packing unit was installed. But this project was extended to include the gluing and the de-dusting unit which was supplied by Scheuch. After the success of the first project, we didn’t change a winning team and successfully implemented the same personnel here.
