Borg Manufacturing starts thin MDF board production at Oberon site in Australia

Wooden Panels

Borg Manufacturing produced its first board on the new MDF plant made by Siempelkamp. This milestone marks the start of the MDF plant with ContiRoll in the 8' × 18.8 m format and a special lightweight board package. The order volume also includes a Siempelkamp Compactor, which offers effective protection for the steel belts in the press and opens up significant increases in capacity and quality, especially in the production of thin MDF boards.

The production spectrum includes panels in a thickness range from 1 to 25 mm. Based on the lightweight panel package, the Australian company can produce particularly lightweight fiber panels. A diversified product range with a large range of thicknesses and densities is thus secured.

Borg is a Australian-owned business, encapsulating a group of companies including polytec, Crossmuller, Australian Panels, reDirect Recycling and Direct Pallets.

Siempelkamp is a system supplier of press lines and complete plants for the wood-based panel industry, metal forming, and the composites and rubber industries.
