ABSTRACT The invention relates to a process to convert a chipboard, fibreboard and plywood production plant from a discontinuous to a continuous mode of operation, in which the existing single or multiple-stage press is replaced by a continuously-operating press. The process involves: (I) during the operation of the existing press equipment:- A) setting up, as close as possible to the existing press, a preassembly site with a roof (tent or shed) and a press foundation which has the capacity to support a continuously- operating press which will be assembled; B) completely assembling the continuously-operating press with several predetermined individual modules Cn on transportable assembly and transport bridges; C) conducting a trial operation of the continuously- operating press under load but without heating, including all control functions; and (II) after the existing press has been shut down:- D) dismantling the discontinuously-operating press and removing it from the production shed; E) constructing the foundation in the production shed to accept the continuously-operating press, at the same time, splitting up the continuously-operating press at the interfaces, removing the steel belts and secure the loose rotating production elements of the continuously-operating press (1), F) conveying the individual modules Cn of the continuously- operating press one after another in the prescribed sequence by means of heavy-duty transport lifting jacks or on rails to the press site, G) reassembling the individual modules Cn into a continuously-operating press, and H) starting up the new continuously-operating press. The invention makes it possible to reduce the down-time requried for conversion of the plant.
