Flexoplan® Caul Screens and press screens – The premier name in press screens for the engineered wood and building products industry. For decades, GKD has been the leader in quality standards for technical meshes made either of metal or synthetics for wood manufacturing industries worldwide.

GKD custom-made mesh is fabricated to Flexoplan screens for single or multi-stage presses , produced into continuous process conveyor belts for indexing and conti roll presses, and fabricated into notched and customized top screens for the indexing press operations. All are heat and pressure resistant by design.

GKD meshes are being used for the fabrication of products such as:

Particle board (PB) made of medium-coarse particles

Medium density fiberboard (MDF)

Oriented strand board (OSB) - coarse wood chip waferboard

Fiberboard (FB) and Hard Fiberboard (HFB)

Wood Veneer

Special applications for gypsum, cement, asphalt, straw, sugar cane and recycled boards
