Using a ContiTherm preheater upstream of the ContiRoll® press increases the production output of a wood-processing plant signicantly. It is an additional component integrated into the forming line and serves to preheat the mat before it is transferred to the ContiRoll® infeed to just below the temperature at which the glue starts to cure. A steam-air mix is conveyed through the mat. During this process, the steam condenses at the bres or particles, heating them up. The preheating temperature can be set most accurately by varying the steam content of the mix. The machine is separate into two to four sections (seen in working direction). Depending on the application these sections are designed for a unidirectional or a bidrectional steam injection or equipped with hot platens heated by thermal oil. The width of the steam boxes in an MDF-plant can be extended by additional segments to optimise steam-air conveyance.

The ContiTherm is the optimally suited for the production of wood-based insulation material, the wood bres being preferably resinated with PMDI or thermoplastic melts. A steam/air mix is conveyed through the bre mat. During this process, the steam condenses at the bres or particles, heating them up. At the same time the gap between the upper and the lower hot platens is precisely maintained. This is essential for the production low-density boards of up to 250 kg/m³ approx. which exhibit outstanding thermal insulating propertie The dew point of the steam/air mix - thus the mat temperature - can be precisely set by varying the steam content.
