The forming station is a set of machines designed for mat forming. This is an essential step in particleboard production. Well-balanced particle mats (that’s to say Surface Layers with a graded structure and a homogeneous Core Layer), will result in high quality particleboard panels, showing excellent mechanical properties and a smooth surface, which shall be a perfect substrate for melamine coating, even with the use of low-weight papers.

With its long experience and about 200 forming stations supplied all over the world, SIEMPELKAMP Sorting & Forming is a major supplier of forming systems for particleboard.

A typical forming station basically includes two wind mat formers for the Surface Layers and one or two mechanical mat formers for the Core Layer.
