New standards in LVL production

Customer: Roseburg, Chester (USA)

Roseburg Forest Products has operated a Dieffenbacher particleboard plant in Simsboro, Louisiana, for over 15 years. In 2017, the U.S. company asked Dieffenbacher to supply the central plant components for an LVL plant that will set new standards in LVL production.

That’s how we helped Roseburg get ahead

More than 65-m long and with a daily output of 800 m³, the CPS press is the heart of the new plant in Chester, South Carolina. It will be the world’s largest continuous LVL press, as measured by production capacity. The upstream 600 kW microwave, also supplied by Dieffenbacher, will be the most powerful preheating system of its type in LVL production. Production of the first board is planned for the second half of 2019.

"We obviously knew of Dieffenbacher’s previous LVL projects. These excellent references are among the reasons that we ultimately chose Dieffenbacher as our supplier. The short distance between Chester and Dieffenbacher’s service center in Alpharetta, Georgia, is another plus for us.” Grady Mulbery (President and CEO of Roseburg)
