Schilliger Holz AG is investing in an automated CLT production line in Volgelsheim, France. The order for the entire production line was placed with Ledinek. At the Volgelsheim location, the new production line will go into operation in the 3Q 2023. The production capacity will be around 100 m3 per shift or 50,000 m3 / year in two-shift operation.
The line consists of a quality sorting system with a planer and scanner, as well as 2 stacking machines for different qualities. The goods prepared in this way can be supplied to CLT production either directly or via the warehouse.
Fast vacuum destacking, the X-Cut cross-cut saw and the powerful Kontizink 2500 finger-jointing cycle system deliver up to 20,000 lm of lamellas per shift. This is followed by a generously dimensioned curing warehouse, a Superplan S400 lamella planer and the innovative Z-Press 16 joint gluing system for the production of pre-glued single-layer panels for lengthways layers.
The transverse layers are supplied by a Z-Press CL which, through external tasks, allows the system's performance to be increased further. Large plate buffers for lengthways and crosswise layers give the system the flexibility it needs to be able to produce batch size 1 without any loss of performance. After the 26-fold review of the X-Press 16, it goes to the grinding machine and on to the CNC-s. Due to its flexibility, the line is also designed for the production of KVH.
The entire system is controlled by the master computer "X-Lam Manager", which exchanges data with the in-house ERP.
