EDGE GLUED PANELS

for the following applications

Kitchen tops

Table tops

Shuttering panels

Interior decoration

Doors

Stairs

Work tops

………..BOTH HARD AND SOFTWOOD MAY BE USED FOR THESE APPLICATIONS

TWO CHOICES

BUYING

It is the easiest way but :

quantity not always available

quality not always available

sizes not always avialable

waste of material/money when cutting from big sizes to small ones

MANUFACTURING

FLEXIBILITY IN PRODUCTION

DECISION TAKEN ON YOUR OWN

TOTALLY INDIPENDENT FROM THIRD PARTIES

QUANTITY/QUALITY ALWAYS AVAILABLE

MANUAL CLAMPING DEVICES

ADVANTAGES

Low investment

Little area needed

Modular

DISADVANTAGES

Long pressing cycle (cold presses)

Vertical misalignement

High sanding cost

High quality board, pratically

unachieveable

High timber consumption

High glue consumption

Low capacity

6

ADVANTAGES

High capacity (at least with 20 stations)

Possibility of customized production

Relatively low investment

CLAMP CARRIERS

DISADVANTAGES

Long pressing cycle (cold presses)

and clamping)

Waste of time when changing panel width

Low quality of the boards due to:

low side pressure (mechanically applied)

weak hold-down device (warped panels)

High maintenance cost (customers' experience)

High glue cost and consumption

7

ROTARY COMPOSERS

ADVANTAGES

Powerful units

Suitable for production of structural beams

High Capacity

DISADVANTAGES

High investment cost

Poor side pressure

Poor panel flatness

High waste of wood on panel planning

High glue cost and consumption

High maintenance cost (customers' experience)

The panel is subjected to a double, hydraulic and perfectly consistent pressure both from the top and the side. These performances guarantee the production of high quality laminated panels.

Vertical thrust

Fixed platen

Side trust

Fixed platen Laminated panel

Furthermore the application of an even distributed pressure onto the surface of the panel allows the production of perfectly flat laminated panels. The single timber will not slide thickness-wise and, consequently, the planning cycle will be avoided. The laminated panel will only have to be sanded / calibrated for few tenth of millimeter on each face with great wood saving (i.e.: producing 1500 laminated panels per month with the following sizes 3000 x 1300 thickness 25 mm, the wood save can rise up to 27 cubic meters per month).

10


another big advantage is the possibility to produce, contemporaneously, laminated panels with different width and, above all, the press width (i.e. 1300 mm) is not a limitation. This means that it is possible to produce panels with theoretical infinite width due to the panel clamping system adopted.

Vertical thrust Rear pressor to clamp the panel

Movable platen

Side trust

Fixed platen Laminated panel

the types of glue that can be used with this machine allow, due to the heating, a perfect and complete catalysis. The practical consequence is a perfect stabilization of the laminated panel which will not “move” anymore. Using a heated press it is possible to apply, practically, all the types of glue commonly available on the market. This allows a wide product diversification possibility

This is the simplest machine

It comes from the NPC range

adding the side pressing unit

Can be equipped with loading

and unloading device


Standard configuration for side pressing unit:

2500x1300 mm - 5 pistons 40/25 mm

3000x1300 mm - 6 pistons 40/25 mm

3500x1300 mm - 7 pistons 40/25 mm

Other technical features as per the standard NPC presses

ORMAMACCHINE'S PRODUCTION RANGELS/CA/ECO


It comes from the LS/ECO adding both an automatic ledges feeding and glue spreading devices. It is advisable for mass production saving labour costs .The automatic feeding group can be selected among:

manual feeding belt feeding

cage feeding chain/belt feeding

ORMAMACCHINE'S TOP RANGELS/V

Available dimension: 2500x1600 - 3000x1600 - 3500x1600

2500x3000 - 3000x3000 - 3500x3000

The LS/V is the TOP of our production range.

It is an high capacity machine suitable mainly for factories

having a standardized production. The high speed does not a

allow to change often the working parameters unless

jeopardizing the plant performances

17

WORKING CYCLE ON THE LS/ECO PRESSES

Step 1 : take the ledges and spread the glue on them

This operation can be carried out:

Manually

Using a glue spreader both one and two roller glue spreader are suitable for this job

Using the automatic gluing device (LS/CA/ECO)

Step 2 : lay up the ledges onto the loading table (automatic on the LS/CA/ECO)

Step 3 : pushing the foot-pedal load the ledges into the press

Step 4 : the pressing cycle starts

Step 5 : at the end of the pressing cycle the board is unloaded

Step 6 : the board is manually moved from the unloader to somewhere else

18

FOCUSING ON THE PRESSING CYCLE

HOW THE PRESSING CYCLE IS CARRIED OUT (1)

1 - When loading of the material into the press

is completed, the lower platen closes until it

reaches the set "min. pressure".

Simultaneously the presser closes until it

reaches the set "max pressure".

2 - The platen opens for the set "first opening

opening time", in order to guarantee that during

the thrust of the side pressing blades the splines

though held by the platens can freely move.

19



3 - When the set "first opening time" has elapsed

the side pistons start working in order to reach

the set max pressure.

4 - The lower platen closes until it reaches

the set max pressure.

20



5 - When the pressing time is completed the

platen opens for the set "second opening time"

simultaneously also the presser opens for the

set "presser detachment time".

Those times are necessary to be sure that the

panel can move freely, even though it remains

between the two planes.

6 - When the second opening time is elapsed

the side pistons start to work exerting pressure

on the panels for the set time.

This helps the detachment of the panel in case it

is sticking to the press platen

21



7 - When the detachment is completed, the side

pistons move back and the platen along with the

presser open completely to let unload the already

processed panel and load a new one.
