Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / machinery for particle board manufacture

German term or phrase: Formstrang

This term appears in a list of machinery used in a factory for producing particle board:
Die gesamte elektrische Ausrüstung inkl. der Elektrokonstruktion und der Software dieser Anlage wurde von uns geplant und in Betrieb genommen. Das betrifft die Lufttransporte, die Schleifstraße, die Beleimung, den Formstrang, die Kalanderpresse (3 Meter) einschließlich der Hydrauliksteuerung und die Plattenabstapelung.
I wonder if it has anything to do with an extruder of some kind? I have found 'forming station' but the German for that appears to be 'Formstation'. I'm also bothered about the term 'Scheifstrasse' which I am currently translating as sander. Can anyone help?

forming station or machine

Explanation:
Here is a link that has a lot about paricle board. The platen pressed section talks of a forming station. They also have a drawing showing the steps.

They ALSO extrude some boards. Look around.
