Extension Phases

Grow sustainably from 2‘000-40‘000 m3/a in three extension phases
  • Starter Kit
  • Phase 1
  • Phase 2
  • Phase 3

Vacuum Press
+ Adhesive Application Portal

Manual Feeding of the Press. Ideal for low risk market entry and development.

Number of Operators3
Adhesive Open Time:40 – 50 min
Number of Pressing Cycles:2 – 3 / Schicht
Output:2 – 3’000 m3 / year / shift

* indications for a 3.5×15 m press at 30% of the theoretical output

Additional Presses

While one press is under pressure the next one is being loaded. Cost-effective solution for multiply output and optimizing human ressources.

Number of Operators:3
Adhesive Open Time:40 – 50 min
Number of Pressing Cylces:2 – 3 / shift
Output 2 presses:4 – 6’000 m3 / year / shift
Output 3 presses:6 – 9’000 m3 / year / shift

* indications for a 3.5×15 m press at 30% of the theoretical output

Lateral Lamella Conveyor Portal

Lateral Lamellas are being destacked and inserted in the press. More pressing cycles with fewer operators.

Number of operators:2
Adhesive Open Time:30 min
Number of Pressing Cycles:4 / shift
Output 2 presses:8’000 m3 / year / shift
Output 3 presses:12’000 m3 / year / shift

* indications for a 3.5×15 m press at 30% of the theoretical output

Vacuum Suction Plate

Infeed of all the Lateral Lamellas as one layer.

Number of Operators:2
Adhesive Open Time:20 – 30 min
Number of Pressing Cycles:5 / shift
Output 2 presses:8’000 m3 / year / shift
Output 3 presses:12’000 m3 / year / shift

* indications for a 3.5×15 m press at 30% of the theoretical output
