Insulation materials/ construction elements

We are a leading manufacturer of machines and systems for processing insulation materials and construction elements.

We design, build and automate machinery and systems for the insulation and construction elements industry. We link proven Kraft Group systems, such as feeding systems, saws, stacking systems and the comprehensive handling components, for example, with our laminating, drilling and edge processing machines to create a high-performance all-in-one solution.

Our many years of development expertise have led to the development of high-performance, customized special solutions with higher throughput and efficiency.

Innovative software solutions round off the extensive range of services.

Everything from a single source – from the Kraft Group – for you

We are a leading manufacturer of machines and systems for processing insulation materials.

Polyurethane (PUR/PIR) sandwich elements with metallic and flexible protective layers, XPS, EPS and mineral wool, for example, are processed for insulation materials. At a time when increasingly stringent requirements are being placed on thermal insulation to save energy and protect the environment, these products have become an essential and cutting-edge material.

Thanks to our expertise, decades of experience and innovations, the Kraft Group can offer the perfect solution for every application (conveying, sawing, trimming, profiling, machining, storing). Individual and customer-specific special solutions round off our range of services.

Our automation team develops efficient controls based on Beckhoff or Siemens devices according to the specific customer requirements. Tailor-made concepts allow a significant increase in productivity and quality for the future.

Master computer systems ensure a process-optimized data exchange between your ERP system and the Kraft Group machinery and system controls.

Continuous production line for processing insulation panels with flexible facings on both sides and a core of rigid polyurethane foam (PUR/PIR)

The endless strand of the element supplied by the sandwich plate conveyor is divided into motherboards via diagonal saws and conveyed to the cooling and hardening section via roller and belt conveyors.

The cooling and hardening section, executed as a space-saving paternoster system (as option as horizontal cooling section), ensures consistent dimensions of the insulation panel, which is then forwarded for further processing.

The longitudinal edges are processed in the throughfeed via a longitudinal profiling device with tongue and groove, stepped rebate or smooth contour.

In the dividing saw, the motherboards are cut to preset, smaller formats where they are supplied to the cross profiling unit. The insulation panels can also be provided with tongue and groove, stepped rebate or smooth contour in the cross direction.

The processed insulation panels are transported to a collecting station by conveyors and are then aligned.

A stacking gantry assembles the insulation panels into packages. These packages pass through the shrink wrap tunnel and are packaged to match the customer's requirements.

A package stacker is used to stagger the packages crosswise, depending on the format, stack them up to a height of 2,400 mm and deliver them to the finished parts warehouse.

We are a leading manufacturer of machines and systems for processing components.

Wood-based panels, solid wood, gypsum, fiber and cement materials, sectional door elements, formwork elements, multi-layer and acoustic panels, for example, are all processed for construction elements.

Production line for the processing components

The wood-based panels supplied by the tandem gantry are profiled on the longitudinal side with tongue and groove using a double-end tenoner. The workpieces are then cut or divided into different formats using a dividing saw.

Cross-machining is then performed by a second double-end tenoner. A linear gantry is used for the final destacking. A transfer carriage distributes the stacks to downstream roller conveyors.
