Kijchai places order with Dieffenbacher

Germany-headed wood processing technology provider Dieffenbacher GmbH has announced that it has received an order for a THDF plant from Thailand-based wood-based panel producer S. Kijchai Enterprise PCL. Located in Rayong – approximately 200 km southeast of Bangkok – the company has produced MDF boards from a Dieffenbacher plant for the past five years and is now expanding its production capacity and adding THDF boards to its product portfolio.

S. Kijchai Enterprise PCL has been active in the wood-based panel industry for 30 years. By investing in the new THDF plant, the company will be able to more than double its production capacity and therefore strengthen its position as one of the leading manufacturers of rubberwood derived MDF in Thailand (photo courtesy S.

Kijchai’s order is the fifth CPS+ project in Thailand in just two years. In addition to the 28 m long continuous press, the scope of supply includes the dryer, Z-sifter, forming station, Dieffensor, triple diagonal saw and raw board handling, along with a storage system.
