Case Study

A major OSB Board producer uses Thayer Low Density “M” Weigh Belts and “FP” Belt Scales to blend and control wood fiber in the manufacturing of OSB board.

Thayer's model FP and Model “M” low density Weigh Belts and belt scales are used extensively in the making of OSB board paneling. In the beginning stages of the process, Thayer Low Density Weigh Belts which a specifically designed to weigh materials in the 1 to 10 PCF range, are used to control wood flow plus the addition of resin and wax to the blender.

Later on in the process the continuous “mat” of pre-pressed board is continuously weighed and monitored by Thayer “FP” Belt Scales.
