May 2006 – The chipboard market is in motion. Leading manufacturers all
over Europe are extending and modernizing their production plants, mainly
focussing on solving energy and environmental issues in an efficient manner.
GEA Wiegand is recognized as a competent partner for evaporation and
distillation plants in this line of business. Once again a customer has decided
in favour of a single-effect GEA Wiegand evaporation plant heated by a
mechanical vapour recompressor, as GEA Wiegand has offered the best
technological and economical concept. Before the contract was awarded, GEA
Wiegand carried out comprehensive test series in a remote-controlled
fully-automated evaporation plant, proving that the chosen low-temperature
concept ensures longest possible operating periods for the evaporator. It is
this aspect that makes the plant particularly cost-effective.
GEA Wiegand will deliver a turnkey plant for a capacity of 9tonnes/hr,
including measuring and control equipment, installation and commissioning.
