Abstract

The process for the production of wood fiberboard comprises the step in which refined material from recycled wood fiberboards is wetted, heated and pressurized using steam; the step in which this material is kept under pressure and temperature for a certain amount of time, followed by the step of reducing the pressure of this material by at least 3 bar. After this pressure reduction, the material is transformed into recycled wood fibers, possibly with a fraction of wood fiber clumps and any other impurities. The recycled wood fibers are supplied as feedstock in a production line for producing wood fiberboard.

Composed element, wherein this composed element comprises at least two panel- shaped elements (2-3), which substantially are formed from a board material; wherein said panel-shaped elements (2-3) are interconnected at an angle by means of coupling means comprising a tongue (13) and a groove (14), which coupling means substantially are made as profiled parts in the board material; and wherein said coupling means also comprise locking elements (15-16), which, in coupled condition, prevent the moving apart of the tongue and groove, characterized in that the panel-shaped elements (2-3) are formed on the basis of board material in the form of particle board consisting of two or more layers, which layers, in respect to the average fineness of the particles, show a different degree of fineness, respectively a basic layer (138, 139) with coarser particles, more particularly chips, and at least one outer layer (136, 137), or at least a more outward-situated layer, which is of a finer composition than the composition of the basic layer (138, 139), in other words, with particles, chips, respectively, which on average are finer.
