Japanese Novopan bought a complete plant from Siempelkamp 10 years ago. The today order includes not only the overall plant planning, but also all core machines for wood processing technology, energy generation and drying as well as classification and gluing systems. Siempelkamp also supplies the forming and press lines as well as the board handling systems. The heart of the new plant is a 7 ft x 47.1 m ContiRoll® Generation 9 press including a so-called PMDI package (PMDI=polymers of diphenylmethane diisocyanates).

The plant is to be operated mainly with recycled wood and will mainly serve the local market with formaldehyde-free bonded, particularly heavy chipboard. Japan Novopan uses the proven ContiRoll® technology with adapted pressure curve as well as the indirect drying technology from Büttner.

The new plant will be built in a prominent position in the Shizuoka prefecture at the foot of Fuji Mountain, Japan's World Heritage Site and landmark.
