01
Solution
Prototype construction – Development of pressing technology for a new CLT product
Initial situation
The task for our customer was to provide support during prototype development of an innovative hollow box ceiling element for timber construction and design the process technology required for this.
Product solution: RIBBED PRESS
key process in production of a hollow box ceiling of this kind is the vertical pressing of glued laminated timber ribs with multi-layer CLT panels. As conventionally available presses were unsuitable for this task, the Kallfass team developed ribbed press designed to suit this product which can work with a high degree of product precision.
Space-saving storage of large format multi-layer panels
Initial situation
In the absence of an alternative, our customer was storing his multi-layer panels with their sensitive surfaces on the floor of the factory. The wood packages of large format, heavy panels took up a lot of space and made rapid provision of specific panel dimensions very difficult.
Product solution: STORAGE & RETRIEVAL SYSTEM with high-bay warehouse
High-bay warehouses are an ideal solution for small cross laminated timber or glued laminated timber production facilities, enabling intermediate storage of numerous completed multi-layer panels (e.g. for adhesive bonding) on a small footprint. Rapid material availability is achieved where necessary in conjunction with warehouse management software. Kallfass developed a fully automatic 3-axes carriage to service the high-bay warehouse. This storage and retrieval system that operates parallel to the high bays distributes the panels in a horizontal and vertical direction while protecting the material. The system is easy to operate.

03
Solution
Transport of large format panels over several floors
Initial situation
Structural conditions meant that CLT panels had to be processed separately on two different floors at our customer’s facility. A classic lift in the building was incapable of accommodating and transporting the large panels. A transportation solution from outside was required which did not comprise the access approach for trucks.
Product solution: INCLINED LIFT
To keep the access approach for trucks free, an external lift with an incline of 38° was developed that runs at an angle to the outer wall. Each individual board is conveyed safely upwards and downwards with a minimum of mechanical surface stress.
