The BBSO has been designed for the storage and metering of dry or green strands and serves as a storage bin for SBS. The picker rolls located at the front of the strand bin ruin and break the strands, leading to consequent issues with OSB panel quality and excessive resin consumption. IMAL has designed a solution which resolves this problem by eliminating the picker rolls from the bin. The strands are continually metered to the continuous scale and blender by a system of inclined belt conveyors, and controls and levels mounted on the bin.
