The Minda TimberPress X 300 HS bonds timber layers into cross-laminated panels. For a five-ply assembly, the layers generally alternate direction. Minda describes the X 300 series as compressing both longitudinal and cross layers before applying the main vertical pressing force. This allows loose timber lamellas to be consolidated within the press. The HS version increases the speed of opening, closing, loading and unloading to reduce handling time around the pressing stage. Adhesive curing requirements still govern the bonding cycle. After pressing, the panel blank can continue to inspection and machining. Actual capacity depends on the panel arrangement, adhesive and complete line configuration.
