The construction market is a real Klondike for a competent entrepreneur. And it is not at all necessary to take on everything at once or master the technology of construction.

You can do something more specialized, such as the production of chipboard or, in short, chipboard. There are some difficulties here, but in general, if you have start-up capital, this is a profitable and easily paying off business.

The range of application of this material is incredibly wide. It is used both for and in interior decoration, and even in the musical instrument industry.

Tiles are made from wood chips, the so-called “non-standard” is used for it - that is, wood that does not have a decent appearance or has other shortcomings, as well as forestry waste.

Chipboard is a cheap and lightweight material, environmentally friendly and very easy to manufacture. For these qualities, many aspiring entrepreneurs pay attention to it and are engaged in its production - often with great success.

Chipboard is distinguished by grades. There are 3 types of tiles in total:

First grade. Quality workmanship that meets the high standards of finishing materials. The structure is smooth and strong.
Second grade. Chipboard with small defects - scratches, chips. It differs little from the first, but is cheaper.
Unsorted chipboard. Produced from low quality shavings, with a large number of flaws. Despite this, it is very often used in construction, where appearance is not so important, or for interior decoration.

In addition, tiles vary in cleanliness. There are 3 purity grades:

E1. Low content of harmful resins - up to 10 mg per 100 g.
E2. The average level of resin content is up to 30 mg.
E3. High formaldehyde contamination - up to 30-60 mg.

Of course, tiles with an E1 cleanliness class are considered the cleanest and safest. You can distinguish them with the help of smell - chipboard contaminated with resins smells sharply of chemicals.

Features of the production of chipboard, see this video:

And the last thing: in addition to simple, there is laminated chipboard. Laminated - means covered with a special film that protects the tile from damage. In production, it is much more difficult than usual, but is sold at a much higher price.

What you need to start

The first step is to register a business. For small businesses, two forms are best suited: sole proprietorship and LLC. The first is characterized by low fees and ease of opening, but it is more often used in the field of trade and entertainment. For the production of an average hand, the LLC form is best suited.

Costs and profits

Unfortunately, the production of chipboard is not a business that you can enter from. The opening of a small plant for the production of chipboard tiles will require at least 15,000,000 rubles.

Here's what's included in the money:

Production line - about 10,000,000 rubles;
Raw materials - 4,000,000 rubles;
Rent of premises and wages - about 300,000 rubles;
Other expenses (marketing, additional equipment, starting a business) - up to 1,000,000 rubles.

If you need to spend money on production machines once, then the purchase of raw materials will have to be made monthly.

And although such a plant requires large investments, the monthly revenue will be at least 6,000,000 rubles, that is, the net profit will be almost two million. It follows from this that with proper management of the enterprise, it will pay off in less than a year.

Chipboard production process

The process consists of several stages:

Mixing glue and shavings in a special mixer with the addition of additional components. The composition is selected individually, taking into account the requirements for the finished product.
The finished mixture is sent to the molds.
Laying in a press for pressing.
Cutting the sheet to the required size on the machine.
Grinding. The last and very important stage in the processing of the material. The quality of grinding largely depends on what grade will be the output.

After all stages are completed, the finished product is sent to warehouses and awaits sale.

What is the chipboard production line, watch the video:

Sales of finished tiles

Finished products are used by both construction organizations and individuals who are independently engaged in the repair or construction of a house.

Second-grade and bulk boards can be sold immediately after production, as they usually do not undergo additional processing.

Another thing is when it comes to chipboard of the first grade. It is much more profitable to subject the finished product to lamination, that is, to make laminated chipboard.

Despite the additional costs, the benefits of such an enterprise are obvious - chipboard is much more expensive than a simple tile.

Difficulties with the sale of quality products should not arise. The country is experiencing a construction "boom", that is, vast areas are being taken up by the suburbs. Sometimes these suburbs are larger than the city itself. Naturally, the demand for construction products is very high.

In addition, you can organize related production and expand the range of products.

As for advertising issues, in this case it is necessary both to advertise in various media, and independently promote the finished product, offering it to organizations that are engaged in construction or retail sales of building materials.

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, then these are for you.

Such a large plant should not stand idle. It is possible that the demand for chipboard will not be constant, and you will have to look for additional sources of income.

Fortunately, you can put additional equipment in the shop and produce:

Other materials (chipboard, fiberboard, MDF);
Furniture (inexpensive particleboard furniture, such as cabinets or chests of drawers, is very popular).

It is possible to offer raw materials to enterprises that produce the same tiles, which do not have the opportunity to produce it themselves.

After the enterprise goes uphill, it will not be superfluous to think about opening your own outlet. It is advisable to open it if the choice is wide and the factory also produces furniture. Inexpensive and high-quality furniture made of chipboard is in very high demand.
Value for money- the main formula by which the product is selected.
Saving on personnel will only hurt production. Low-skilled workers increase costs and reduce the cost of finished products.
Advertising is very important especially for a company that is just getting started. It is worth considering the advertising of competitors, the promotions they run, and their success in the market. Good advertising will attract buyers, while bad advertising can be not only useless, but also repulsive.
A well-written business plan should also include all possible costs. It should not turn out that there is enough money “back to back”, otherwise you will have to resort to the help of banks and incur additional, completely unnecessary expenses.

If the profit is high, you do not need to keep it to yourself. Purchasing new equipment, renting additional premises and hiring staff will help to significantly increase it and reach a higher level.

The classic and popular material chipboard is a great choice to start something bigger.

If you are not an organizer by nature, then there are sources of passive income - read.

Production machines, rooms and warehouses will be waiting for expansion and modernization, and starting with tiles, you can go to the production of high-quality solid wood furniture. And this is not the limit.

Laminated chipboard (LDSP) is the main component for the production of cabinet furniture, which authentically imitates natural wood, but much cheaper.

Cheapness due to the use woodworking waste- shavings.

The production of laminated chipboard has several basic technologies.

what is chipboard;
how the production of chipboard differs from the production of chipboard;
what documents regulate the quality of chipboard in Russia;
what equipment is used for lamination;
How is edging tape made?
how to laminate chipboard yourself.

chipboard is ordinary wood chipboard that we talked about lined with a decorative coating.

The coating can be either one-color and smooth, or multi-colored or imitating the texture of wood.

Key features such as:

bending strength;
ability to hold a screw;
density;
moisture resistance classes;
formaldehyde emission class;
flammability

fully correspond to the same characteristics of the source material.

The thickness of the laminated material depends on its purpose. For the manufacture of cabinet furniture, most often take chipboard with a thickness 16 mm, however, table tops are often made from slabs thick 25–38 mm.

Chipboard for wall, floor and ceiling cladding is made of chipboard with a thickness of 8–12 mm.

A laminating layer with a three-dimensional pattern increases the thickness of the chipboard, because such the pattern is created by pressing the base layer, pushing the contours of the pattern on it.

outdoor the film only follows the contours this drawing.

How is chipboard made?

For the manufacture of laminated chipboard, ordinary polished chipboards are used, so they are produced at a chipboard plant, by connecting the lamination area.

Moreover, 3 technologies are used to cover the source material with a laminating film:

lamination;
laminating;
smooth lamination.

lamination

When laminating 1-2 layers of specially prepared paper are glued onto the base, and the first layer - the base - is made as thick as possible so that the pattern can be pushed through it.

The thickness of the base, depending on the depth of the pattern, can reach 0.5–1 mm, the thickness of the second layer is tenths or even hundredths of a mm.

On top of these layers, another one is laid, made of transparent paper and a mixture of various resins, which when heated, they turn into a strong film, reliably protecting the decorative surface.

The main layer is laid on the prepared chipboard surface and pressed down with a hot stamp with a suitable pattern.

The surface temperature of the stamp is 150–220 degrees, due to which the resin impregnating the main layer is mixed with the resin that glues the chips in the chipboard and, paper becomes an inseparable part of the plate.

Then, in the same way, a decorative layer with a suitable pattern and an outer layer protecting the board from damage are glued.

At some enterprises, all layers of the coating are first connected to each other, then dried and, only after that, they are attached to the chipboard.

With this technology, the coating is made in the form of a tape. A pattern is formed on it using a cylinder with an installed matrix, similar to the formation of a pattern during laminating.

Difference with caching in that the tape is fastened without glue, heating the resins impregnating the paper until melted and mixed with the resin in the chipboard.

Laminating

When laminating, the facing material is first prepared, for which all layers are laid in order and a pattern is printed on them. using a cold press.

At the same time, the uncured resin of the various layers is mixed, due to which the coating turns into a wide and long tape.

If a drawing is used to print cylindrical die, then it becomes possible to ribbons of any length.

Many small businesses producing 3D textured laminate prefer do not spend money on expensive equipment necessary for the manufacture of the tape, and buy ready-made material.

The finished tape is sent to the dryer, then wound into rolls, which are delivered to the laminating area. There, the facing material is cut to size and laid on a plate lubricated with special glue, then pressed down with a press and heated until the glue is completely polymerized.

Thanks to this technology veneer goes faster, after all no need to heat each layer of coating separately so the company can produce more products.

The disadvantage of this technology is that the glued lining holding on much weaker than real lamination.

Smooth lamination

This technology similar to caching, however, is a full-fledged lamination, because when heated, the resin of the coating and the plates are mixed, forming a single material. In addition, in the strip preparation area no press to create a pattern.

To create a smooth surface, it is enough to lay 2 layers, the lower of which will be made from paper, and the top one is made of a special film, which, when heated, forms durable and transparent coating.

Due to the fact that large chipboard manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to increase the manufacturability of production and reduce costs, various changes are constantly being made to this process, the essence of which manufacturers keep secret. After all, any improvement in the quality of the laminating coating, as well as cost reduction, makes their products more competitive.

Documents regulating quality

The main document regulating the quality and characteristics of chipboard in Russia is GOST R 52078-2003, which you can find at this link.

There is also international standard EN 14322:2004, which is in many ways similar to the Russian one. You can find him.

These standards differ from those adopted for chipboard only by the requirements for the laminating coating. In everything else they completely identical.

Besides, there are various specifications(technical conditions), which are developed by both manufacturers of laminated chipboard and furniture manufacturers. Specifications prescribe those requirements that are not included in generally accepted standards or, for some reason, are knocked out of them.

For example, in TU can be prescribed non-standard product sizes, and also indicated detailed composition of the adhesive, which differs from what the company uses in the production of conventional chipboard.

Equipment: plant and its components

In most cases, for laminating chipboard, a multifunctional device is used, which is called laminator. Its basis is powerful press with steam or oil heating of the plate, as well as with the possibility of installing matrices with the required pattern.

The laminator can be large, capable of handling maximum sheet sizes, as well as medium or small. If a large press is installed, then after cooling, the laminated sheet enters the cutting machine, which is completely similar to that used in the production of chipboard.

In addition, the laminator can be one or two sided, that is, stick the film only on the front side or simultaneously process the front and back planes.

Medium-sized presses are designed for laminating already cut boards, the size of which complies with the requirements of GOST R 52078-2003 and EN 14322:2004.

The small press is designed for laminating finished parts, such as entrance and interior doors or furniture elements. Therefore, the enterprise you should choose a laminator based on the range products.

In addition, along with a large or medium laminator, a tape laying line is often used, which also performs several functions:

determines the quality of preparation of the chipboard surface for further processing;
lays the tape on the slab and orients it correctly;
cut off excess tape.

In factories where small laminators are installed, this operation is usually performed by a specially trained highly qualified worker stacking and cutting the tape by hand. Most often, this is done in furniture factories, when they have to make parts that, for some reason, cannot be cut from a whole sheet.

Similarly, they act in large woodworking workshops or industries that manufacture not only furniture, but also various carpentry products.

The laminator can be used not only for lamination, but also for general gluing, so it makes no sense to spend money on a special line.

Often, after cooling, medium and small slabs are fed to a sawing machine, which cuts 1–2 mm of the slab, forming a smooth edge. Such a machine is equipped with large-diameter circular saw blades with hard alloy soldering or diamond-coated.

They move the plates along the entire line using belt conveyors and vacuum lifters, and all operations are automatic.

The cost of the equipment depends on many factors, so most of the enterprises that produce such lines and individual machines voice the price only after the customer provides specific requirements for configuration and performance.

On Aliexpress and other sites you can find individual devices and entire lines with an indication of the approximate cost excluding delivery and installation.

Medium single-sided laminator for 1220*2440 mm boards can be purchased for 100-200 thousand US dollars, and a 60-120 cm wide laminating tape supply line will cost 18–25 thousand US dollars.

Edge tape

In the manufacture of laminated chipboard, only the front and back surfaces are laminated, and edges remain uncoated. Therefore, enterprises producing laminated chipboard, along with it, also supply edging tape, which is used for self-laminating the ends.

The color of the tape is fully consistent with the color of the plate, so after sticking the tape, the entire plate becomes one-color.

The tape for edging, that is, pasting the edges, is made noticeably thinner than the one used when facing particle boards in production. Indeed, in the conditions of a furniture workshop it is impossible to create such a high pressure and most craftsmen manage with an ordinary iron, warming up the tape laid on the edge.

How to laminate chipboard yourself?

Not always Chipboard, which can be purchased in stores, matches the color or pattern, so you can veneer the plate yourself.

For this, various types of decorative films that are sold in hardware stores are well suited.

Films are self-adhesive and conventional.

To apply a self-adhesive film, a thin protective coating is removed from it and placed on a chipboard sheet cleaned of dirt and dust, then rolled with a roller, removing air bubbles.

To apply a regular film, use a special adhesive recommended by the film manufacturer, then wait 2-5 minutes and carefully apply the film, do not allowing wrinkles to appear.

Such methods allow you to stick on chipboard only those drawings that are in the store, so you can use the method that was used in the days of the USSR when chipboard was in huge short supply.

A thin layer of primer (PVA diluted with water in a ratio of 5:1) was applied to the chipboard surface cleaned from dust and dirt. Then, the desired drawing was made on sheets of landscape paper and PVA was primed on the reverse side.

After 2-4 days, when the glue had completely hardened, the sheets with the pattern were laid out on the surface of the chipboard in such a way as to bring the pattern together. Then each sheet was heated with an iron.

If all the sheets were correctly laid and heated, then after cooling they formed a continuous pattern that completely covered the entire surface of the plate.

However the shift of any of the sheets led to a violation of the pattern and spoiled the whole picture, therefore, for greater reliability, they tried to get not landscape, but printing paper, which exceeded the plate in size.

The finished drawing was covered with furniture or parquet varnish in 2-3 layers and a home-made laminate was obtained. with low coating strength, but with the necessary pattern.

Conclusion

The production of laminated chipboard is a complex process that includes many operations, therefore, in order to turn ordinary particle boards into laminated ones, it is necessary site with good facilities.

After reading the article, you learned how the lamination process takes place and whether you can do it yourself.

In contact with

Particleboard, or chipboard, is a composite sheet material. It is produced from waste wood and non-mineral binders by hot pressing. The composition of chipboard can vary depending on the nuances of technological processes or the desired properties. But in general, chipboard is pressed wood waste, which clearly expresses the English translation - “particle board”, that is, “particle board”.

At present, chipboard is one of the most popular materials for the production of furniture, interior design, and construction of structures that do not require increased strength. The undeniable advantages of this material are its cost-effectiveness and ease of processing.

For different manufacturers, the technology for the production of chipboard practically does not differ. The difference is only in the quality of the materials used and the cost of the raw materials.

Technological stages of chipboard production

At any enterprise, the production of chipboard consists of several successive stages.

Stage I - preparation of the necessary raw materials

There is a process of mixing various wood materials based on the desired quality characteristics of the finished product. In this case, wood shavings, chips and sawdust are used.

Stage II - grinding of wood components

To obtain the required density of the finished material, the raw material must have maximum uniformity. Therefore, wood waste is crushed and further crushed to the desired size.

Stage III - drying of raw materials

To increase the effectiveness of the adhesive, the prepared wood components must be rid of excess moisture. For this, the crushed raw material is dried.

Stage IV - mixing components

Prepared, crushed and dried, the raw materials are thoroughly mixed with adhesive ingredients. The result is a mass ready for the formation of chipboard.

Stage V - the formation of particle boards

The adhesive mass is poured into a special moving tape with a predetermined width. Next, the mass is pressed to the required thickness. At the same time, a high temperature regime is observed throughout the entire pressing process.

Stage VI - cutting the finished particle board

The pressed chipboard sheet is cut into sheets of a given size, and the resulting products undergo additional drying.

Stage VII - surface treatment of particle boards

At the final stage, the surface of the manufactured chipboard sheets is processed: the products are laminated or a thin layer of veneer is applied over the canvas and a veneered chipboard is obtained. For lamination of finished plates, a special film is used, with which the sheets are covered. It can be used for additional processing of chipboard and paper or plastic. The cost of additionally processed chipboard sheets is low, but in the end, their price far exceeds the cost of chipboard with a simply ground surface.

The main raw material for the manufacture of chipboard: wood

Direct raw materials for the manufacture of chipboard, technological chips and shavings, are obtained in the process of processing hardwood and coniferous wood, various wood waste from sawmilling, woodworking, match and plywood industries.

Technological chips are produced by crushing the feedstock in chippers. At the same time, depending on the desired condition of the finished chips, different types of chipping equipment are used.

Chips have higher quality characteristics. It is used to form the outer layer of three-layer chipboard boards. Such chips are made on special chippers, after which the produced thin chips with a long-fiber structure are transported to a crusher to create the desired width.

At the next stage of production, chips and shavings undergo mandatory sorting. If necessary, the components are crushed and sorted additionally.

All sorted chips and shavings are screened by electromagnetic separators, which allows removing metal particles, if any. Further, the technological raw materials are finally cleaned, that is, washed with water to remove possible dirt and sand impurities, as well as to increase the humidity level to the required level. Excess moisture from conditioned raw materials is removed by drying it in rotary, drum, pneumatic or belt dryers.

Dry shavings and technological chips, sorted, cleaned of various impurities and dried, are sent by a conveyor system to special storage bins. The volume of the hoppers is designed to ensure continuous production for at least three work shifts.

Chemical components in chipboard production

In addition to wood raw materials, chemical materials are also necessary in the process of manufacturing chipboard. Their purpose is to bind and glue prepared wood particles under the influence of high temperatures and pressure. Urea- and phenol-formaldehyde resins act as binding materials, differing in color, level of toxic fumes and moisture resistance.

Phenol-formaldehyde resins have a dark brown color, which affects the final color of the finished product, high toxicity and a pungent odor. When using them, the pressing time requires longer periods. The advantage of using such resins is increased resistance to moisture, water has practically no effect on such adhesive joints.

Urea-formaldehyde resins are considered less environmentally harmful, but they have less strength and the adhesive layer is destroyed at a temperature of 60 ° C. Chipboards, which include this type of resin, are used in conditions of a slight difference in humidity levels.

In addition to adhesive components, hardening and water-repellent (hydrophobic) additives are used in the production of chipboard. Their use contributes to the preservation of the shape of finished products with changes in humidity, since without additional processing the porous structure of wood materials absorbs moisture from the air or when immersed in water.

Hydrophobic viscous substances in the molten form are able to close the surface pores of the material, which becomes an obstacle to the penetration of moisture inside. Such substances are ceresin, paraffin, distillate slack. They are introduced into wood pulp as alkaline emulsions diluted with hot water. Deposition of hydrophobic substances on wood fibers is carried out by means of aqueous solutions of aluminum sulphate or sulfuric acid.

As a hardening additive, phenol-formaldehyde resin is used, which is also used for gluing. Its presence in the composition increases the strength of chipboard when there are more than 30% hardwood in the composition of the boards or when the content of fibers is shorter than required.

Chipboard manufacturing equipment

At any stage of chipboard production, equipment is required that corresponds to the process being performed, among which the main and additional ones stand out.

Basic equipment

The main equipment for the production of chipboard includes technological equipment installed in the main workshops of the enterprise for the manufacture of chipboard: preparatory workshop, main workshop and grinding workshop.

The production preparation workshop is equipped with a crushing plant and a chipper. To equip the main workshop, thermal presses, fan-type coolers, as well as machines for cutting the edges of the product to a given length and width in automatic mode are required. The grinding shop is equipped with grinding machines.

All necessary indicators of width and processing power are determined separately for each batch of products, the final grade of manufactured chipboard sheets depends on the selected indicators.

Optional equipment

Vibrating screens and conveyors - roller, chain, belt or spiral - are considered to be secondary equipment. When laying finished sheets in packs, lifting tables are used. All production workshops are equipped with ventilation systems to get rid of process dust, collect and remove it.

The use of modern technologies, high-quality equipment and the necessary additives in the manufacture of chipboard allows the manufacturer to produce chipboard with increased fire resistance, moisture resistance and high strength. The result is a material whose cost is much lower than other analogues, which makes chipboard so popular among a wide range of buyers.

Particle boards are incredibly popular, despite their non-functionality and fragile characteristics. What is the secret of popularity? At a low price, in a wide range of applications, in variety and a large selection. After all, chipboard can be called a bad material for a door, for a wall. But what could be better than chipboard for decorating and decorating an old door? How can you visually delimit space if the laws and layout of an apartment or house do not allow you to expel a full-fledged brick wall? With the help of the material, is it easiest to restore the appearance of a chest of drawers, buffet or ottoman? The answer to all these questions is one - chipboard.

Raw materials for chipboard

Raw materials for the production of chipboard are inexpensive and the reason is very simple. Chipboards are made from sawdust, woodworking and logging waste. Rotten or dry branches, low-quality wood, from which it is simply unacceptable to make furniture, are used. This has a special meaning. Thanks to the production of chipboard, not a single tree in the forests is simply cut down and thrown into a landfill - any forest product is used.

The production process for the manufacture of chipboard

The first stage in the production of chipboard is the grinding of all wood waste on special chippers. During grinding, a product is obtained, which is called wood chips. Chippers make all wood waste uniform, of the same consistency, they all become chips. Then the chips are delivered to rotary machines, where chips are obtained from it. This scheme is called raw materials - chips - chips. There is also a slightly different scheme - for example, with logs: log - shavings. There, the logs are stacked on special machines with a knife shaft, which immediately cuts the logs into shavings.

Chipboard production technology (chipboard) sets the exact dimensions that are required for any factory chip - its thickness should be 0.5 mm, width - 8 mm, length - from 5 to 40 mm. It is clear that it is difficult to observe such parameters with an accuracy of 1 mm even on modern equipment, therefore small deviations and fluctuations in size are permissible. Each chipboard plant has its own tolerances. They are calculated based on the capabilities of a particular equipment.

Requirements are also imposed on the shape and structure of the chips. It must be absolutely flat (so that it can be easily glued to the slab) and of uniform thickness. Its surface should also be flat and smooth. By the way, chip thickness is measured in special devices, as this is a very important point, especially for those boards that will be finished with lamination. Raw shavings are transported to bunkers, where they are stored all the time prior to drying. It is delivered to the bunkers using a pneumatic transport system. Then the chips are transferred for drying. Drying chambers dry wood shavings to a degree of 5% moisture content. The inner layers of the chips should have a moisture content of no more than 25%, so the chips for different layers are dried in separate dryers. Convective drum type dryers burn liquefied gas or fuel oil and have an average temperature of about +1000 0 С.

Chips for the outer layer are heated and cooled faster. Chips for the inner layers are heated more slowly, kept in the dryer longer, it cools gradually. Pneumatic units sort chips for outer and inner layers. Pneumatics distinguishes them just by the degree of humidity. Next, the chips are mixed with binders, which are synthetic resins. These resins turn disparate chips into a single mass. Binder resins are fed to the chips in the state of liquid solutions.

Next, the tarred chips are sent to the molding units. They pour the tarred chips onto conveyor belts. Sometimes, instead of conveyors, pallets are used as part of the line, but this is already an obsolete part of the lines - there a chip carpet is formed from the chips. The carpet is divided into packages, which are then subjected to hot pressing. After pressing, the chip packs become very dense, hard, and can be transported. By the way, it is only in recent years that chipboard is made exclusively from chips, which are glued together with resins and pressed with a hot press, after which the finished board is obtained. Previously, when there were no such powerful hot presses and synthetic resins, the chips were glued together with special glue, they waited for a long time until they harden, and the barely holding chip structure was glued onto a thin wooden slab.

The technology for the production of chipboard (chipboard) has changed over time, improving more and more. Now, after pressing, the plates are delivered to the unloading line, where they are cut to the desired size, then they are cooled, then they are polished and coated with special fixatives and resins. After that, they are packed in packaging from the manufacturer and delivered to stores. Previously, the technology for the production of chipboard (chipboard) also meant manual packaging of finished products.

§ 9. Wood raw materials

General information.

As a wood technological raw material for the production of particle boards, the following are used:

non-commercial wood - timber, which, in terms of their quality characteristics, do not meet the approved standards and specifications for commercial timber, firewood;

wood waste from sawmilling (slabs, slats, cuttings of boards and other large-sized waste, as well as sawdust), plywood production (pencils, veneer-flaw, plywood trimmings), lumpy waste and shavings - waste from furniture production and other woodworking enterprises;

technological chips from waste of sawmilling and logging (branches, branches, tops, lumps) of coniferous and deciduous species, with the exception of especially hard deciduous species.

According to its intended purpose, wood technological raw materials are used as follows.

Single-layer slabs and outer layers of three-layer slabs are made from all types of raw materials mentioned above, with the exception of veneer-flaw, shavings-waste of woodworking machines, sawdust and technological chips. The following types of wood are recommended: pine, spruce, cedar, fir, birch.

For the manufacture of multilayer boards and the inner layers of three-layer boards, all types of raw materials mentioned above are used. At the same time, in addition to coniferous wood, hardwood wood can also be used: birch, alder, linden, beech, etc.

For the manufacture of extrusion pressing plates, all types of raw materials mentioned above are used. The best quality extrusion boards are obtained when using softwood. When hardwoods are used, resin consumption increases and press productivity decreases by 30-40%. The strength of such boards made from hardwood is 25-30% lower than boards made from softwood. In this regard, hardwood is recommended to be used only as an additive (up to 30%) to softwood.

Weekly wood. Firewood for the production of particle boards must meet the specifications of TU 13-01-06-66.

The diameter of raw materials in a round form is set from 4 cm and above. Raw materials are supplied both separately by species, and in mixed form in various ratios in debarked and unbarked form. At the same time, unbarked chopped firewood and waste from sawmilling and woodworking should not have a bark of more than 12-14% - On barked raw materials, bark or bast residues should not exceed 3% of the surface of the raw material.

Firewood is supplied both in the form of logs with a length of 1 m and more, and in the form of longitude. The length of the longitude should be a multiple of the length of the logs plus the cutting allowance.

In firewood for the production of chipboard, such defects as knots (healthy and tobacco), wormholes, curvature, cracks are allowed. Internal rot (sieve and rotten) is allowed up to Vg of the corresponding end diameter with access to the second end up to 7z of its diameter. External rotten rot is not allowed.

Thin wood. Thin wood is obtained mainly during thinning. It is a round, unrooted timber with chopped branches.

The diameter in the upper cut of small-sized coniferous wood is 2-6 cm, hardwood 2-8 cm, length 1-3 m with a gradation of 0.5 m.

Small-sized wood has greater plasticity and lower elasticity and density compared to mature wood, and there is almost no rot in it. The bark of thin wood consists mainly of bast, the cortical layer is almost absent or in its infancy. Therefore, in the manufacture of chips, the formation of dust is sharply reduced, the chips are obtained with a given size.

Work experience has shown that chipboards made from small-sized wood have higher physical and mechanical properties and a better appearance than firewood boards.

Sawmill waste. The sawmill industry is the main supplier of wood waste. Sawmill waste accounts for about 3/4, or 75%, of all wood waste generated in the woodworking industry and suitable for use in the production of particle boards. Lump sawmill waste is mainly processed into technological chips, which serve as an excellent raw material for the production of chipboard.

Technological chips (GOST 15815-70), intended for the production of chipboard, must meet the following requirements. Chip sizes for flat pressed boards (in mm): length 20-60 (optimal - 40), thickness - no more than 30; for extrusion pressing boards: length 5-40 (optimal - 20), thickness - no more than 30. In technological chips, the content of bark is allowed no more than 12%, rot - no more than 5%; mineral impurities (coal, stone, lime, etc.) are not allowed. For the production of high-quality boards, the content of bark in wood chips should not exceed 3%. One batch may contain coniferous or hardwood chips. A mixture of hardwood and softwood is not allowed.

Sawdust. In the sawmill industry, sawdust makes up 10-12% of the volume of processed raw materials. However, sawdust is little used for the production of slabs, since their dimensions are almost the same in all directions and slabs from them are of low strength. It is recommended to use sawdust from hard hardwood as an additive to cut chips in the inner layer of three-layer boards in an amount of 10-20%, and sawdust from softwood and soft hardwood - up to 50%. Comparatively good results have been obtained with the use of sawdust for the manufacture of extrusion boards, which. usually veneered on both sides.

The use of sawdust instead of firewood gives a significant economic effect. Calculations show that when replacing 1 m 3 firewood with sawdust, the savings are about

7 rubles, and when replacing lumpy waste from woodworking industries - about 3 rubles.

The organization of the production of particle boards with a fine-grained surface will significantly expand the use of various wood wastes, including sawdust, not only for the inner, but also for the outer layers by grinding them into fine wood particles using special grinding equipment. Therefore, sawmill wood waste will be used even more.

Plywood production waste. Waste from plywood production accounts for only about 5% in the balance of all waste from the woodworking industry, however, it is also one of the main sources of raw materials for the production of particle boards, since this waste (especially pencils) is best prepared for processing into special cut chips. At the same time, pencils can be used to make chips for both the inner and outer layers, the veneer-flaw is processed into chips only for the inner layer. When using veneer-flaw, the bark content in it should not exceed 12%.

Chips - waste from planing machines. Almost all woodworking enterprises generate a significant amount of woodworking machine chips. It has been established that the tensile strength in static bending of plates, the inner layer of which consists of waste chips, is approximately equal to the strength of plates, in which the inner layer consists entirely of special cut chips. In terms of tensile strength perpendicular to the plate face, water absorption, swelling, the indicators of the former are even somewhat higher. Therefore, for the inner layer of three-layer boards, it is recommended to use waste softwood chips without restrictions, and hardwood chips in an amount of up to 30% as an additive to special cut chips.

Waste chips from machine tools are suitable for the manufacture of extrusion pressing boards. In terms of physical and mechanical properties, such boards are not inferior to boards made from special cut chips, and even surpass them in appearance and surface quality.

Waste chips from woodworking machines are also expediently crushed into fine wood particles to form outer layers in the manufacture of boards with a fine-grained surface. At the same time, the surface of the plates is obtained with a high class of roughness.

For many successful businessmen, it is no secret that the production of chipboard in modern times is a very profitable business. The starting material for the manufacture of chipboard is waste from the woodworking industry - sawdust, chips and other finely divided wood residues. The use of such material in many sectors of construction and furniture production allows you to save forests from additional felling. Thus, a green zone is preserved over large areas, and this is pure oxygen for all mankind.

Unfortunately, man has not yet come up with a full-fledged substitute for wood for various industries, so they cut down the forest, and the chips fly. In terms of available source material, the chipboard production business is certainly profitable - cheap waste from the woodworking industry, sawmills and a large scope of manufactured products. The process of selling manufactured products will be 100% guaranteed by demand.

In the production of chipboard, you can organize a business with various directions: it is possible to form a large-scale production process, or break it down into components by separate types:

At first, it is possible to suggest automating the preparatory process.
Wood chip production waste must be delivered to the preparation shop. In this workshop there is a well-established continuous line of chippers and chippers.
At the end of such a line, technological chips come out.
The pre-production cycle is over, and the chips can be sent to the chipboard production workshop.

The preparation shop itself is environmentally friendly and can be separated by a separate business structure.

Chipboard production equipment

The next stage of the waste path will be a chipboard plant.

The manufacturing technology of the board consists in mixing technological chips and thermosetting resin - a thickener.
Further, the mixture enters special forms of various types and, under the influence of temperature and high pressure, the plate is pressed, where it is glued into a single and durable package.
After cooling the product, it is taken out of the mold and the edges are cut off.
The plate is ready for use.
It is sanded, sorted and, if necessary, laminated.

At all stages, technological equipment for the production of chipboard is needed, which is used in the pre-production workshop, in the main workshop and in the grinding workshop.

A crushing plant and a chipper are installed in the pre-production workshop.
In the main workshop - thermal presses, fan coolers and machines for automatic cutting of sheet edges in width and length.
Grinding machines are installed to perform grinding operations.

The calculation of the power and processing width is calculated for each batch separately or a standard is introduced according to these indicators, on which the grade of the produced sheet depends - this equipment belongs to the main one.

Additional equipment includes vibrating screens and conveyors - belt, roller, spiral and chain. Lifting tables are used for stacking sheets in packs. A ventilation system is installed in all workshops to collect and remove process dust. The production of laminated chipboard is, one might say, the final stage. A laminated sheet is made from the first grade of a polished plate or covered with a dowel. Laminated sheet at a price an order of magnitude higher than polished. Therefore, it is economically advantageous for production to manufacture a laminated sheet. It is widely used by finishers for the installation of various floorings.

The furniture industry is the main consumer of laminate for the manufacture of doors and facades; in the railcar industry, it is used as a finishing material for partitions; blanks for modular furniture are prepared from it.

Laminated chipboard is made on the basis of the source material, which is much cheaper than other materials, technologically advantageous, and, moreover, requires less labor and costs. The prepared and tarred wood chips are put into molds, hardeners and additives necessary in the technological process are added, after which they are fed into a machine for the production of chipboard - thermal presses. Under high pressure and high temperature, the mixture is pressed and glued into a homogeneous plate. When laying materials in mixers, the weight fractions of resin and wood chips are strictly regulated. When changing the weight fractions of the input materials, the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting sheet change dramatically. This leads to a change in the quality and strength of the plate. In order for the quality of the manufactured board to meet the standards, thermal presses must be selected with automatic adjustment, those that provide higher technological characteristics of the produced sheets.

Approximate costs for organizing the production of chipboard

A number of enterprises are engaged in the production of lines for the production of chipboard, for example, in Ukraine - PE "SMS" (a line with a capacity of 1000 sheets per day will cost 500,000 Euros), or a Chinese manufacturer of the Harbin plant LUNIVEI. In terms of cost, the Chinese chipboard production line is 2 times cheaper, but it can be assumed that the quality of the Chinese-made installation will be somewhat lower. When choosing a mini-line for the manufacture of chipboard, it is necessary to take into account all the characteristics of the supplied equipment, including technical and economic indicators of speed parameters.

To purchase such a line, install, adjust and receive a monthly supply of raw materials, it is necessary to invest more than 17 million rubles.

The total costs for the purchase of a line with a capacity of 10,000 m3 of chipboard per year and the organization of production can be:

automated line - from 300 000 Euro
auxiliary equipment - from $45,000
the cost of delivery, installation and configuration of equipment - from $ 15,000
rent and preparation of the workshop for work - from $15,000
purchase of raw materials (calculated for a calendar month) - from $30,000

Planned profit:

As the practice of operating enterprises shows, with a selling price of 1 m3 of chipboard of 8,000 rubles and an average market profitability of 18 - 20%, gross revenue per month is about $ 200,000 - 210,000. In such conditions and in the absence of problems with sales, the full return on investment will be from 18 to 24 months.

Using modern chipboard manufacturing technologies, the manufacturer receives high quality indicators of the products produced, because it is possible to make chipboard with increased moisture resistance, fire resistance and high mechanical strength only by mixing the necessary additives in a strictly defined amount into the adhesive composition. Manufactured products from chipboard are much cheaper than other analogues and are intended for a wide range of customers.

The production of chipboard is usually considered to be one that uses purely waste from the woodworking industry. In addition, few entrepreneurs are interested in this simple production process as a business. This attitude is completely wrong. This building material is still in demand in commercial real estate and for domestic purposes among the population. Chipboard production equipment is not only the main machines for pressing and forming products. The technological line includes chipping and chipping installations. They allow you to prepare raw materials yourself, from any wood blanks. Due to this, binding to industrial processing facilities is completely optional.

Chipboard production technology

Another area of application of chipboard is furniture production. Not a single factory can do without it today. No matter how expensive the furniture is, its hidden elements are still made mainly from chipboard. Another type of chipboard is chipboard. This material is similar to conventional blanks, but its surface is well polished and covered with a film. The top layer is made of paper or resin of a special composition.

Chipboard production technology

Manufacturers of modern chipboard use the technology that we will describe below. The raw material is shavings. Wood can be used inexpensive: deciduous and coniferous. A binder is also used as a material. Water-repellent additives in it increase the strength of the future product.

Processing of raw materials	At this stage, it is unloaded, grinding large billets. Next, the chips go through a sorting stage depending on the fractions. The feedstock must be cleaned of unnecessary impurities and contaminants.
Drying	Occurs up to humidity not higher than 6%. For the inner layer, this parameter should not exceed 4%. The process temperature reaches 1000 degrees, and at the outlet the chips have a temperature of 120 degrees.
Resin	As a result of this operation, each chip is covered with a binder. The durability and strength of the material depends on the quality of its execution.
Carpet shaping	At this stage, the product itself is formed from a semi-liquid chip mixture. Previously, it was made in several stages, performing two or three layers. This technology made the material brittle and unstable in bending.
Pressing	It is of two types: horizontal and extrusion. The production of modern chipboard and chipboard usually chooses the first method, as it makes it possible to obtain a more durable product.
Trimming and cooling	Cutting into finished slabs occurs either hot or after the workpiece has completely cooled. The latter method minimizes the possibility of deformation when using the material.
Grinding	The last stage, at which the product is leveled, edges and surfaces are processed to the specified roughness parameters.

What equipment is required for the production of chipboard?

All this technology can be implemented using such a set of machines and installations. Most often they are supplied in one production line. If you choose the right machines for productivity, then you can assemble it separately.

Hammer crusher DMR-600-10-55	The performance of the model is 10-30 cubic meters. m. The cutting element consists of six disks mounted on a shaft. They are closed by the body. The crusher has a number of sieves for sifting raw materials.
Vibrating screens for sorting	Used additionally for better selection of sawdust.
Drying complex	Drum type dryer, running on gas or oil. The diameter of the working drum is 2.2 m, the length is 10 m. Usually the platform has a slight inclination to the side from which the raw material comes.
Continuous mixer (eg DSM-7)	It is tarring. Raw materials and a binder are fed into the tank. It is added to the mixture through nozzles. The screw shaft with blades makes constant movements and mixes the mixture until it is homogeneous.
Presser	This equipment is capable of forming a workpiece of the required thickness and width in one pass. The uniform density and thickness of the product depends on the operation of this equipment.
Thermopress	Here the workpiece is hot pressed at a temperature of 180 degrees. The pressure exerted on the plate is 2.5-3.5 MPa. I work on 1 mm with a press for at least 0.35 minutes. For the production of laminated chipboard, extrusion-type presses with internal channels are used. This equipment can be single or multi-storey. The latter allows pressing up to 22 pieces of products simultaneously. The height of such equipment reaches 8 meters, so this must be taken into account when choosing a room.
Cooling chambers	They are a large rotating drum with special cells. For an hour in such equipment, about 200 blanks can be cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees.
Sawing machines	These include both edge grinding equipment and a crosscut saw.

How much money do you need to start a business?

The price of a line of such equipment is about 10 million rubles. About 1.5 million rubles more will need to be spent on additional and auxiliary mechanisms. There is equipment of domestic production on the market, and recently manufacturers have begun to import quite a lot of such lines from China. In production, both equipment for the production of chipboard are successfully operating. Its price depends on performance, power and a set of functions performed.

Almost any construction business is profitable and, with a competent approach to business, regardless of seasonality, quickly pays off. And especially promising here is not even the provision of services to the population, but the direction of the production of high-tech materials that are in demand among consumers. Such business ideas include the manufacture of chipboard (chipboard). The production of laminated chipboard will be in demand among buyers if the process is thought through to the smallest detail and lucrative contracts are concluded with customers. Chipboard is a practical, relatively inexpensive, environmentally friendly material that has been a leader in the construction niche for many years. It is actively used in the manufacture of furniture, in the construction of roofs and floors, in the construction of interior and room partitions.

Our business valuation:

Starting investments - from 8,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is average.

The complexity of starting a business is 7/10.

The production and sale of chipboard, despite the simplicity of the technology and the availability of equipment, will be associated with many problems, the main of which is high competition. Surely, in every region there is a woodworking enterprise engaged in the production of particle boards. And therefore, in order not to waste money on launching production, it does not hurt to first analyze a specific sales market. There are a lot of potential customers, and a couple of wholesale consumers will be enough for a small enterprise to stay afloat.

So, how to open a chipboard production in Russia that is competitive and profitable?

What assortment to offer consumers?

Chipboard production as a business will only make a profit when any client who contacts the company finds what he was looking for. Given this, it is important to establish the production of products of various types, properties and price categories.

Experts distinguish many classifications of chipboard. The main one is gradation by the number of layers:

single layer
three-layer,
multilayer.

According to the appearance and quality of the raw materials used, chipboards are divided into grades:

Grade 1. Material with even edges and a smooth surface.
Grade 2. Material with minor violations of the integrity of the structure - scratches, chips.
Grade 3. The material can be attributed to defective products.

In order to offer customers a material suitable for different types of work, it is important to think over the formulations of boards that differ in density:

low density - up to 550 kg / m 3,
medium density - 550-750 kg / m 3,
high density - over 750 kg / m 3.

It’s great if the chipboard manufacturing process involves finishing the material with polymer films, veneer, plastic or paper.

It is important to think over the assortment at the initial stages of starting a business, since many subsequent steps will depend on this - the purchase of raw materials, the purchase of equipment.

Description of the chipboard manufacturing process

Technological scheme for the production of chipboard

Even if a small do-it-yourself chipboard production is planned, it is important to study in detail the material production technology. The quality of the finished product will also depend on the quality of the technological stages.

The main advantage of this direction is the simplicity of the technology. All stages of the production chain are interconnected, and it will not be difficult to understand them even for a person far from the industrial sphere.

The main raw materials that will be supplied to the workshop are sawdust, small wood waste. The components used are widely available and inexpensive. And to make chipboard production less expensive, it would be nice to arrange direct supplies of raw materials from local woodworking enterprises. It is quite natural that the closer the supplier, the cheaper the cost of raw materials.

It is a common practice when furniture factories rent out production waste at a lower cost (or even completely free of charge), and in return receive high-quality chipboard from an entrepreneur at an attractive price. Here is such a barter turns out.

Chipboard production technology is hot pressing. The scheme is this:

The raw material is dosed and mixed with a binder - a thermosetting resin.
The mixture is poured into special molds.
Forms with a mixture are subjected to high pressure and elevated temperature.
The resulting plates are taken out of the molds, if necessary, they are additionally processed - they are cut, polished, pasted over with decorative materials.

Despite the fact that the production of furniture chipboard is very simple, when organizing a full-fledged workshop, you should hire a qualified technologist who will strictly control the quality of input raw materials and all technological modes. It is impossible to do without control over the production process, because here, as in many other areas, the rule applies - the better the product, the more profit it will bring.

Technical equipment of the workshop

Production line for the production of chipboard

After the assortment has been thought out and the technology has been studied, you can proceed to the next stage of organizing a business - to buy equipment for the production of chipboard. And this stage is one of the most important, because it is the most expensive.

It will be difficult to organize a home business for the production of chipboards, because the financial investments here are quite large - not every aspiring entrepreneur will be able to start a workshop without attracting outside investment.

The "middle" line for the production of chipboard includes the following machines and devices:

Mixers with dispensers.
Forming machines.
Thermopresses.
Coolers.
Machine for trimming finished boards.
Grinding machine.

The designated equipment implies the use of ready-made components for the production of chipboard - sawdust and shavings. But if it is planned to organize a full cycle plant (that is, with grinding boards and logs), then additional component lines will have to be provided - crushers and a sieve.

The price of equipment for the production of chipboard is quite high, and the final cost of the devices will depend on their capacity, degree of automation and configuration. For example, a fully automated line, where all production steps are carried out without human intervention, and with a capacity of up to 150 sheets per shift, will cost at least 17,000,000 rubles. But even lines of lower productivity (up to 50 sheets per day) will be too expensive for many entrepreneurs - at least 8,000,000 rubles.

Given the considerable cost of equipment, it makes sense to think about some savings options:

Used equipment costs 2 or even 3 times cheaper than new.
By leasing the line, you can avoid the huge initial investment.
Chinese machines can cost significantly less than equipment from European brands.

Profitability of the chipboard production business

Many entrepreneurs have already proven in practice that a mini-plant for the production of chipboard, with well-established distribution channels, brings consistently high incomes to its owner.

The sooner you manage to establish sales to wholesale customers, the sooner all costs will pay off. At first, it will be difficult for a young enterprise to enlist the support of large wholesalers. But even here it is quite possible to achieve success, for example, by slightly lowering the prices for the supplied products.

Before starting to calculate the profitability of the enterprise in the business plan, it is necessary to present those capital expenditure items that will have to be incurred to open the enterprise. According to minimal estimates, the launch of a small workshop will require costs in the amount of ≈8,000,000 rubles.

This includes the following items of expenditure:

Purchase and installation of equipment on site.
Purchase of raw materials.
Preparation and rental of premises.
Company registration.

And these costs will increase significantly if you buy a machine for the production of chipboard of greater power. But for starters, a line of low productivity will suffice.

Speaking about the profitability of a mini-factory, it is hardly possible to give exact figures, because everything here is strictly individual, given the prices for finished products in each region and sales volumes. On average, chipboard is sold at a price of 6500-10000 rubles / m 3. The cost of the same material varies between 4000-6000 rubles.

In the absence of problems with sales, the company can go to zero after 2 years. And these are excellent indicators of profitability.

It's no secret that chipboard is still the main material for furniture production. Which factories in Russia are engaged in its production, and what are the prospects for their development.

Russia has good prospects and prerequisites for the production of chipboard. This ensures low production costs and the availability of own raw materials. But, even in such conditions, manufacturers do not have absolute confidence in the future, because both domestic and foreign manufacturers are represented on the market. And, although now domestic producers have priority, but they are also forced to withstand fierce competition. To do this, they offer consumers more and more decors at an affordable cost.
According to statistics, the main consumer of chipboard is the furniture industry. In Russia, the largest share in the production of particle board falls on batch pressed chipboard, production occupies 44%. Further 33.8% is CPD. And chipboard with a finished surface occupies 19.7% of the total output. It should be noted that very little chipboard with special properties is produced - only 0.5%.

Where is the production of chipboard concentrated? The leadership in this indicator is held by the Central Federal District - 48.1% of the domestic production of chipboard is concentrated here. This is followed by the North-Western Federal District, where 24.5% of production is located. Siberian and Volga Federal Districts - 11.1% and 9.7%, respectively.

Central Federal District: OJSC Dyatkovo DOZ, CJSC Skhodnya-plitprom, OJSC MEZ DSP and D, CJSC Murom, OJSC MK Shatura, OJSC Fanplit, LLC Kronostar, CJSC Plitspichprom, ZAO Igorevsky DSP Plant, OAO MDOK, EGGER.
The following production facilities are located in the Northwestern Federal District: Pfleiderer Plant, Monzensky DOK LLC, Cherepovetsky FMK CJSC, Sheksninsky KDP LLC, Syktyvkarsky FZ LLC, Karelia DSP OJSC; - Intrast LLC, Zheshartsky FZ OJSC.
Siberian Federal District: Krasnoyarsk DOK CJSC, Ust-Ilimsky DZ OJSC, Tomsk EAF Plant OJSC.
Privolzhsky Federal District: CJSC Nizhegorodsky DOZ, OJSC Novovyatsky LK, OJSC Ufimsky FPC, LLC Uvadrev, CJSC Permsky FC.
Southern Federal District: ZAO Yug, OAO Tomsk DSP Plant, ZAO RNP Volgogradmebel.
Far Eastern Federal District: OAO Amursky MDK.
Ural Federal District: OJSC Tavdinsky FK, CJSC Fancom, OJSC DOK Krasny Oktyabr.

Speaking of wood-shaving materials, one cannot but mention import deliveries. According to statistics, imports still occupy a significant part of the market. Who supplies this material to the Russian market the most? Leading positions among suppliers are occupied by China and Poland - they supply about 49.1% of this production. Plates of German origin make up about 14.7%, followed by Italian manufacturers - 13.3% of all imports.
Does Russia export chipboard to other countries. Yes, but deliveries are made mainly to the CIS countries. Deliveries to non-CIS countries are very insignificant - their percentage is less than one.

The largest productions
There are quite a lot of chipboard production lines - more than 50, new production facilities are also being opened, and many of the existing ones are being modernized and automated, and new technologies are being introduced.

The group is leading the market EGGER, while it is one of those companies that makes large-scale investments in the modernization of Russian factories. In the near future, it is planned to launch the second phase of the EGGER plant in the city of Gagarin, Smolensk region. In the third quarter of this year, it is planned to launch a line for the production of floor coverings at the plant in the Gagarinsky district, and a new mini-CHP, which will run on biofuel, will also start operating.
Most of the foreign companies that have production in Russia are now freezing projects in anticipation of the end of the crisis, EGGER continues to invest. The company is implementing large-scale projects, while considering the Russian market to be promising.
So, at the beginning of 2016, the EGGER plant in Gagarin produced about 2 million cubic meters of chipboard and 100 million square meters. meters of chipboard.

Plant "Kronostar" is also a major manufacturer of wood-based panels, owned by the SWISS KRONO GROUP, which has nine factories in 7 European countries. The plant produces about 1,000,000 cubic meters annually. m of products, including chipboard, chipboard, MDF, LMDF, wall panels, laminated flooring design coverings. At the same time, the products are of high quality, and the plant maintains its status as an environmentally oriented company. In April of this year, the company celebrated its 14th anniversary, the largest investment project in the field of woodworking in Russia is Kronostar (Sharya, Kostroma region).
But not everything can be realized even by this giant. Earlier, the company announced the launch of a second plant for the production of OSB boards, but recently officially announced the suspension of the project in the Krasnokamsky district of the Perm Territory. This is due to the difficult economic situation, but the authorities of the city where the construction was planned still hope that the project will be resumed. There are objective reasons for this, because the investor does not intend to completely abandon his plans, and asked to keep the site, the land for it is the property of the company, and the project has already passed construction and environmental reviews. According to experts, about 300 million rubles have already been invested in site preparation.

OOO Syktyvkar Plywood Plant- the largest manufacturer of large format plywood and furniture boards. The production of the plant is equipped with the most modern equipment of such companies as Rauma Repola, Steinemann, Dieffenbaher. The company can boast of more than one modern equipment, it takes part in environmental protection, significant funds are allocated for the implementation of such projects. The plant produces more than 200 cubic meters of plywood. m per year and particle boards more than 300 thousand cubic meters. m. It has been operating on the market for more than 30 years.

CJSC "Cherepovets plywood and furniture plant" works not only on the domestic market, but also supplies its products to other countries of the world. For this, the company has repeatedly been awarded the "Best Russian Exporter" award. The range of the plant includes more than 40 types of products related to the technology of deep wood processing, from sawn timber to chipboard and laminated chipboard. So, the capacity is - 208 thousand cubic meters. m per year chipboard and laminated chipboard - 10.5 million square meters. m. per year.

Timber complex "Tomlesdrev" focuses on the complex processing of wood, that is, directly sawmilling and the production of chipboard and laminated chipboard. Produces about 15 million sq. m of chipboard and 14 million sq. m chipboard per year.

Plant "Karelia DSP" is focused on the production of laminated chipboard, the production of new products has recently been mastered - moisture-resistant chipboard with a thickness of 38 mm. Products meet high quality standards and fashion trends.
