QUALITY AND COMFORTMACHINING OF PROTOTYPES AND MOULD TOOLINGS

FIRST CLASS COMFORT - LONG LIFE SPAN

FOAM PRODUCTIONTHE SANDELLA GROUP IS ONE OF EUROPE`S LARGEST SUPPLIERS OF MOULDED COLD CURE FOAM WITH MODERN PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN THREE COUNTRIES.

Through knowledge, expertise and the necessary capacity, we have ensured a high level of quality and cost-efficient solutions.With our partners, Sandella works continuously to develop new products in the production process.

Typical areas of use of integral skin foam is armrest for office chairs, truck seatings, components for lifeboats and medical equipment.

Integral skin foam can be supplied with different surface structures and colours.

DESIGNMOULDING OF HIGH ELASTICITY FOAM – GREATER FREEDOM OF CHOICE

With more than 50 years experience and close cooperation with designers and customer`s product development departments, Sandella is a specialist in moulding of cold cure foam components.

POSSIBILITIESMOULDED COLD CURE FOAM HAS CONSIDERABLY BETTER CHARATERISTICS THAN OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

Moulding and encapsulation of load-bearing constructions in the products provide the customers with a large potential for efficient, consistent production.Sandella produces: Standard foam, Fire retardant foam (crib 5), Visco-elastic foam, fire retardant visco-elastic foam, integral skin foam and special DIN 45545 foam.

Moulded cold cure foam has unmatched qualities as regards comfort, durability and elasticity.

STANDARD COMPONENTS

As part of its product range, Sandella offers different standard chair models and cushions.

Unique opportunity for our customers to easily implement and adapt to already developed models in their product range

Expertise in technical solutions. Design and production of welding jigs and our own welding cell for robot welding. Possibilities for production of special products.

MOULD PRODUCTION

Through advanced computer tools for 3D-modeling we have control on all parameters in development projects.

MECHANICAL

THE MODELING OF A PROTO-TYPE IS THE VERY BASIS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RESULT

DESIGN

Continuous develpoment and perfection of the moulding process – from model and prototype to the finished product.

This creates a continuous expension of the options in design and technique and provides the customer with a guarantee of first class expertise in every part of the process.

Through long-term and continuous co-operation with the entire process chain, from component level to the finished product, we are able to provide good advice on how to optimize models for efficient production processes.

FOAM PRODUCTIONFULLY AUTOMATED AND FLEXIBLE MOULDING PROCESS

The design and development centre is located at our main factory in Sykkylven, where our technical and marketing expertise is based.

With our expertise we are building moulds manually, from modeling to the finished mould, but more and more customers choose moulds CNC-milled directly from 3D-drawings.

CNC-milling of moulds are produced at our own company, Shape AS.

POSSIBILITIESFROM 3D-MODELING TO MILLING OF MOULDS

The raw materials are transferred through closed computer-controlled systems. This ensures uniform quality and maximum usage of the raw materials.

Considerably flexibility in the production is making it possible to meet most quality requirements

The filling of the mould is automated and takes place on different production lines to secure an efficient and flexible production.

Through our factories the Sandella-group is the largest independent player within the European market for furniture.

With our milling machines we are offering advanced machining in most materials from EPS to steel.

MOULD PRODUCTIONSHAPE AS HAS EXPERTISE WITHIN 3D-MODELING, PROTOTYPING, PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, SCANNING, MACHINING OF MOULDS AND REVERSE ENGINEERING

With advanced computer toolings for 3D-modeling and drawing production it is much easier to have control on all parameters in the development of projects.

We have long-term experience in production of prototypes in all machinable materials. A good prototype can be of good help in the process from an idea to final production drawings.

Shape AS has long-term experience in production of moulds to be used in:• PU moulding• Vacuum forming• Rotation moulding• Composites moulding• Injection moulding• Metal moulding

Design of robot welding jigs in cooperation with Shape AS.

MECHANICALPRODUCTION OF STEEL AND ALUMINUM INSERTS WITH BOTH MANUAL- AND ROBOT WELDING

We are using modern welding technologies and provides welding of steel and aluminum.

Expertise in development of steel- and aluminum inserts, often in close co-operation with customers to secure optimized product solutions.

Use of laser cutted welding jigs secures products of high quality.

QUALITY AND COMFORT

The high degree of elasticity and the good side support provide the correct sitting comfort no matter where you sit in the furniture.

Moulding also has the advantage that it is possible to adjust the softness and elasticity completely to the requirements of each individual product.

Moulded cold cure foam has high quality scores regards compression set and sag factor – This describes the foam`s ability to take pressure without collapsing.

Additional to the customer-specific components, Sandella has developed our own collection of standard products. This is models with low start-up costs where moulds, inserts and jigs already exists. The products are developed to keep the production costs to a minimum level.

Gliding chairs that can be combined in numerous ways regards seats, backs and arm rests. We can provide gliding mechanisms adapted to the different components.

Lounge chairs which provides our customers with unique opportunities to easily implement and adapt to already developed models in their ranges.

Cushions of seats and backs in different shapes and sizes.

There are major advantages for the customers getting all their components from one supplier, simplifying our customer`s logistics and internal production processes.

Sandella aims to keep its efficiency and flexibility high in addition to a logistics that is adapted to the customer`s wishes and requirements.

INTEGRAL SKIN FOAMINTEGRAL SKIN FOAM HAS HIGHER WEIGHTS AND DENSER SURFACES AND IS AMONG OTHERS USED IN OFFICE CHAIR ARMRESTS, TRUCK SEATINGS, LIFEBOAT COMPONENTS AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

Integral skin foam are produced at our factory in Lithuania, UAB Superlon Baltic.

Integral skin foam is offered in different colours and surface structures.

In the same way as for cold cure moulded foam the integral skin foam can be produced with integrated load-bearing inserts as plastic, steel, wood and aluminum.
