Dear Mr.Prakash Rao,
I am a Romanian engineer, technology specialist with experience in the manufacture of Particle Board (from wood, rubber wood, Bagasse, flax and hemp waste, and other lignocelluloses waste), using different manufacturing technologies as BvH, Bahre – Bison, Diefenbaker or Siempelkamp.
I graduated Faculty of Wood in Brasov, and then worked in Research and Design Institute of Wood Industry from Bucharest.
With over 40 years of activity (like work, and as a hobby), I've never seen or heard about one PB Factory without problems.
Some problems from Bagasse-Board Factories and Proposed Adequate Solutions.
-The equipments for manufacture of wood chips board(without any adaptation), are used for manufacture of bagasse particles boards,(the separation of "wet" or "dry"; grinding "dry"; adhesive preparation and application;forming or pressing).
- Minimizing the differences between physical and mechanical characteristics of the "Wood Chips" and "Particles from Bagasse”,as: specific density, size and shape of Wood Chips; Bigger percent silica of Bagasse,than Wood is the same important in the Technological process.
-The big percent of unwanted-Pith( about 30%) from Bagasse, what can not be removed entirely, reduces boards quality and require the Technologist to increase density of the boards, an action that adversely affects economic of production parameters (increase consumption of raw materials, chemicals,labor and energy, decreased productivity of the main press and a corollary decrease economic efficiency).
- PB Factories from Bagasse ( with low capacity and sometimes at the limit of economic efficiency), can not compete with PB Factories from Wood (with capacities of 800 ... 1500 cu.m. / day).
Considering these facts and based on research and tests in production (MP Bagass-Board in Thailand), I found and adapted more new technological solutions to improve the quality of the boards, as well as economic parameters of Bagasse-Board Factories.
One of the most important solution is " Optimization of the gluing process”, what can be applied in PB Factories from wood,also.
The solution is the "key" to improving the quality of boards, productivity of the main press and economic parameters.
If in your factory (or factories), have one or more of the issues in this short mentioned analysis, please contact me and together with your specialists, in a short time and with small investments, we will implement appropriate solutions and adapted to local conditions.
Please,let me know if your Company is interested in this kind of co-operation.
With esteem and respect,
George
