MDF is an abbreviation, which is comprised of the first letters of “Medium Density Fiberboard”. MDF can be shaped like massive wood, it provides faultless cutting, piercing and carving with CNC machines MDF that have clean surface and smooth edges are very suitable for processes such as lacquering, painting and melamine coating. MDF is a high quality, medium density fiberboard produced from trees such as Beech, Oak and Pine. The tree trunks selected for production are cleared from their bark with bark peeling machines. The cleaned wood is shredded into little pieces by passing through chipping machine. These pieces, which are called chips, are separately stored in silos of hardwood (beech, oak) and softwood (pine). The chips are separated into fibers with the processes applied in refinery units. In the exit pipe glue and other chemicals are added. After being dried the fibers go to the laying belt. The fibers called “mat” are pressed under the continuous press following the laying process and MDF production is completed. The boards are piled after length cutting and edge trimming process and transported to semi-finished product warehouse. The boards, which rest between 3 to 7 days depending on the seasonal conditions, are sanded at the sanding machine and become ready for sale |
