The family business Holzbau Driendl, an ecological woodprocessing business with its own small sawmill in the Oberallgäu region, Germany, decided to expand its activities and invest in its own flexible CLT production plant, which complements its existing activities and also involves younger generations of the family business.
The compact plant was a challenge for the development team, both because of the very limited space availability and in terms of technical solutions that are economically adapted but still allow the desired capacity and flexibility while involving as few operators as possible. The plant consists of an automated finger-jointing line with manual marking before defect cutting and the new Ledinek BSP press for manual layup with automatic gluing function, which is located separately.
The press is equipped with both, side pressure and front pressure. Press closing and pressing is done by the operator by means of a control panel. The size o the CLT panels is limited to 14 m x 3.5 m x 0.36 m. A CNC processing centre is also installed in the same building in order to process finished CLT elements in a timely manner.
