The biggest manufacturer of edge-glued solid wood panels in Western Europe was looking for a way to renew and increase in its production capacity. Since this customer already works with several Boere wide-belt sanders – which tit was very pleased with – the choice for another Boere was quickly made.
However, the specific execution of the machines, a sanding line consisting of a bottom and top working machine both equipped with three contact rollers and one sanding pad, was determined in close collaboration with the customer and Boere. As such, the sanding line has been completely integrated in the whole production line of the edge glued solid wood panels.
After the panels have been pressed, they are sanded. Sanding is done using increasing grain sizes, starting with grain 24, moving up to 40 and 80 and finishing with grain 120, after which the panels can be painted or stained..
Whatever a customer needs, Boere says it is able to find the solution to match their product. Boere can give customers, on the basis of an exploratory and noncommittal talk, a very good impression of the possibilities in most cases. At the same time Boere will test sand on the customer’s sample products, after which the results will be discussed in order to reach the optimal sanding solution.
Moreover, all Boere machines are designed, tested and manufactured in the Netherlands. More information on Boere’s customer-led sanding machines can be obtained at Calderbrook Woodworking Machinery.
