Our History
Starwood Australia MDF Mill
In June 2002 Glasgow Engineering won the contract to design and manufacture a new Heavy Press Roller for Starwood Australia (now Carter Holt Harvey Pine Panels) to replace an existing roller that had broken the main shaft. Due to the extreme pressures that are required in the manufacture of MDF board this roller had been previously plagued by failures. Glasgow Engineering were asked to produce a more reliable design that would not fail as this was a critical part of the plant, our roller was very heavy in its construction and incorporated removable stub shaft ends to make bearing and shaft changes easier, reducing down time at the mill.
