Sunds Fibertech signs first reference in Thailand with S Kijchai Enterprise
Sunds Fibertech has announced that they will be supplying two of their MDF technologies to Thai panel producer S Kijchai Enterprise. More specifically, the provider of process and modernisation technologies for the panel industry will deliver their ‘Scorpion’ MDF Dryer and the latest generation of SundsZifter to process rubberwood. The MDF Dryer will ensure energy efficient drying of up to 56 tonnes of fibre per hour, while the SundsZifter will clean the fibre flow from latex particles and other impurities prior to entering the forming and press lines.
According to Sunds Fibertech, the project started in February 2024 when S Kijchai’s board of directors gave the green light to build the company’s third MDF line. With this project, the company aims to double its MDF capacity from 500,000m 3 to 1,000,000m 3 per year. “S Kijchai has over a decade of experience in processing rubberwood. We are proud to have convinced them of the value of our Dryer and Zifter package, which includes our updated and upgraded Zifter system,” said Marcus Mattsson, sales director of Asia-Pacific, Sunds Fibertech.
“The increased cleaning efficiency, compared to other solutions on the market, will give S Kijchai an competitive advantage among other MDF producers in the region.” “We would like to thank Sunds Fibertech for their commitment to the project and the detailed consultancy during the technical discussions”, said Harnsiri Sangwongkit, senior vice-president of S Kijchai Enterprise. “With this spirit of partnership, we look forward to execute the project together with Sunds Fibertech.” P
