Description

The Pendistor is a pneumatic forming machine for MDF. Sunds Fibertech is the OEM supplier of Pendistors earlier sold under the names ABB Fläkt, Sunds Defibrator, Valmet and Metso.

The rebuild to a semi-mechanical forming station consists of three possible upgrades:

  • Levelling roller – smoothens out the fiber mat surface before scalping, for reduction of fiber re-circulation.
  • Weight control – improve the cross-mat profile with an adjustable cross field control system (piano), improving forming accuracy
  • Flow control – reduce the electrical consumption with the VFD control system on the fans.
