Chip Board Manufacturing
 
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is use in building construction for roofs, sidewalls and flooring. OSB is a less expensive and structurally superior alternative to plywood.

In the manufacturing of OSB, wood strands are cut to a controlled length, width and thickness. These strands are mixed with a phenyl resin liquid adhesive in a large diameter drum blender. The coated wood strands are then sent to a disk-type orienter that lays out alternating perpendicular layers which give OSB it’s strength. The board is then pressed, heat-treated, and trimmed.

Hydra-Cell pumps were selected to supply the phenyl resins and waxes to the blender because of their ability to handle viscous products, develop high pressures, and provide excellent metering capabilities. Other advantages of running dry and seal-less design make the Hydra-Cell pump the clear pump of choice for this application.
