- Structural 3-ply panel as finished surface
Guide System
With rollers and side stop. For linear application in ergonomic posture.
Vacuum Lifter
The indispensable tool for large format 3-ply panels
Manual Adhesive Applicator
Adhesive directly from the container. Save up to 50% of cost.
Alternating Cycles
One element is still being pressurized whilst a new one is being manufactured.
Expansion Anchors
Plugging the tie rods in a hole and pulling on them clamps them automatically
Pressing Units
The pressing units are often linked together as bundles to facilitate handling
Quick-Lock Nuts
Holding down the button decouples the lock nuts to displace them rapidly on the rods
Pressing Hose
The pressing hose distributes the pressure evenly and re-pressurizes when the surplus adhesive oozes out
Alternating Cycles
A new element can be manufactured while the other is pressurized
Series Connection
The pressing units are connected one after the other and activated
Adjustable Pressure
The air pressure is regulated from 0-3 bar, which results in a max. force of 39 kN (3.9 t) per unit

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
No Turnover
The element can be produced in one cycle. Without need to turn it over for fixing the screws.
No Screws
Save on material and assembly time while obtaining surfaces without screw holes in them.
On the Same Table
Make Timber Frames and Box Girders on the same assembly table and save big on investment.
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.
