Complete Saip line from Spain to Georgia

One of the leading Georgian industrial construction companies starts producing sandwich panels with Saip Contitech technology showcased in CeDePa. JSC Panex has chosen Saip for the supply of a full line for the continuous production of wall and roof sandwich panels. The project involves a Georgian financial found interested in the growing building and construction sector, where the request of energy-efficient construction materials is increasing.

JSC Panex operates mainly in design, construction, project management and equipping of industrial buildings. The company provides customers with all components of Industrial construction, from designing up to building material and industrial floors. It provides also projects on a “turn-key” condition. Innovation and efficiency needs have moved the company towards the choice of equipping themselves with a production line.

The Contitech is Saip technology conceived for the continuous production of sandwich panels. Each line is composed by several functional groups of machines and equipment; each of them studied and developed on real customer’s needs and targets, such as properties of the final product requested, raw materials to be processed, productivity, finishing and quality and so on.

The line designed for JSC Panex is going to produce wall and roof panels with PUR/PIR core - class B2/B3, with different densities, thickness of 150 mm max and length varying from 2,000 to 15,000 mm. The line has a production speed up to 15 m/min and it is equipped with an electrical control system. The management and control is assigned to a number of interconnected PC installed along the line. Remote assistance is provided as a standard.

One of the decisive factors in choosing Saip’s technology has been CeDePa, the Saip and Dow center for research and development of sandwich panels, manufactured by a continuous process. Members of JSC board were invited to CeDePa with the scope to showcase how lines work, verify the quality of Saip’s solutions and experience kind of assistance/service offered: all elements which can make the difference in the developing of a profitable business.

The following characteristics of CeDePa were mainly appreciated by the customer: the high automation level of the line; its performance; its flexibility, which enables the line to produce panels of different sizes, formats and performances; products performance tests available; the wide possibilities of trials and trainings available; Saip's way of working and assisting the customer. “We want the customers to understand the quality of our products and the quality of Saip's support all along the designing phase, the start up and the ordinary production”, said Roland Rast, Saip technical director, in charge for the project.
