Metso Panelboard plans to unveil new Defibrator technology and its latest RAS-C flue-gas heated dryer at Ligna 2005.

The Swedish company will also reveal its development in segment pattern design, the Attack Bar, which is claimed to deliver reduced energy consumption, a longer segment lifetime and higher fibre yield.

Other highlights are to include producing panels from an expanded range of raw materials, such as straw and urban waste.
