How long does it take?

What type of adhesive is used?

1K PUR adhesives have relatively short curing times.

The Open Time indicates the time available for assembly and pressurizing the element.

Tip:
If the space between beams are filled in with insulation, electrics or other it is more advantageous to glue bottom and top panel during different cycles in order to stay with shorter open times. This leaves more time to fill the interiors properly and decreases overall manufacture time due to shorter pressing times.

Pneumatic Pressure:

The Advantages

1

No Turnover

The element can be produced in one cycle. Without need to turn it over for fixing the screws.

2

No Screws

Save on material and assembly time while obtaining surfaces without screw holes in them.

3

On the Same Table

Make Timber Frames and Box Girders on the same assembly table and save big on investment.

4

Monitored Pressure

A constantly monitored pressure results in safe structural products.

The pneumatic system re-pressurizes the element as soon as the adhesive oozes out and the glue joint is thinning out.
