FRAMELESS HONEYCOMB PANELS
Honeycomb boards have
been known to the furniture industry for years. This special type of
Frameless honeycomb panels has been developed by
Siempelcamp Handling System GmbH.
This is consisting of thin wooden surface layers and a honeycomb core made
out of cardboard or a MDF grid. Typically the surface boards applied to
both sides of the panel are 3 to 8 mm thick and made of MDF, PB or OSB.
Frameless honeycomb panels are enjoying more and more popularity in the
furniture industry due to the superior board properties. The internal
strength is comparable to solid panels while honeycomb panels are up to 60
percent lighter. With frameless honeycomb boards individual sizes can be
cut of larger boards which are produced in higher quantities at lower
cost. ONE-STOP LINE CONCEPTS At the line infeed individual boards are fed off a stack into the line. From here roller conveyors transport the surface layer boards to the glue applicator. The adhesive for bonding the surface boards to the core is applied through oscillation without any overspray. At a second infeed position the honeycomb core is introduced into the line. The stacks of prefabricated honeycomb cores are stretched and separated into individual units. Then the glued bottom surface board is applied to the top of the core. After proceeding through a board turner the top surface is applied. From here the sandwich travels to the Double Belt laminator for calibration and curing.
DOUBLE BELT AS A
CONTINUOUSLY MOVING LAMINATOR
The centerpiece of the
system is the double belt. The slats making up the double belt form a
continuously revolving lamination surface, with the glue reacting during
the passage time, while the panels are calibrated and cured at the same
time. The Double Belt with length between 8 and 32 m runs at speeds of up
to 8’ width (Standard 4’) can be produced . After calibration and curing
boards are cut to size, cooled and stacked.
The technology for
further downstream processing such as edgebanding for frameless honeycomb
panels and the required hardware components for furniture have been
developed in the recent years and are being used in furniture
manufacturing already .
