Competence in Panel Manufacturing.
HIGHEST DEGREE OF AUTOMATION
The production of three-layer panels is a traditional process that has been increasingly automated in recent years due to rising volumes. Many years of experience and technical expertise - also in the digital world - characterize the Fill team. We supply complete solutions and take responsibility for any level of automation in panel production. From individual machines to full automation. We combine proven and new machine concepts and handle data management between all components and the control system.
The basic idea is the prefabrication of semi-finished products (middle layer and top layer decks) in an economical quantity. These are stored in a fully automated high-rack warehouse using a transverse transfer carriage. If required, the decks are removed in order to press the ordered quantity of a specific board type. Optimum wood utilization, maximum flexibility and highly economical production costs are the advantages of this production method. On request, the control system provides valuable information about the process, the raw material and the individual components of the system.
FILL CYBERNETICS
Welcome to the virtual and real world of Fill
CYBERNETICS PRODUCE is a comprehensive software solution specially developed for the integration and networking of multiple machines or systems. Modular applications provide a flexible and customizable interface that can be connected to the customer's ERP and MES systems. This enables seamless communication and data transfer between the various systems and the production plant.
A key advantage of CYBERNETICS PRODUCE is the seamless recording of all process-relevant plant data. It includes the monitoring and control of large plant networks and ensures efficient and effective management of production processes.
CYBERNETICS PRODUCE uses state-of-the-art data processing programs and algorithms. These record the plant status in real time and can make well-founded decisions. Thanks to advanced technologies, the software solution enables precise monitoring and control of production processes. All recorded data is visualized with a user-friendly web interface and gives the plant operator a clear and comprehensive overview of the entire production process.
The continuous analysis of processes based on key performance indicators allows companies to effectively monitor and continuously optimize their processes, resulting in a significant increase in efficiency and productivity.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE FINE-CUTTING BANDSAW
Efficient, precise, flexible
The high-performance bandsaw SPEEDLINER 920-350 saws top layer lamellas made of sawn timber as well as middle layer lamellas made of glued laminated timber. This tried-and-tested bandsaw has been combining maximum performance and flexibility for 20 years now. Thanks to ongoing further developments, the SPEEDLINER 920-350 has reached a new level of perfection in the 2025 edition.
The workpieces are guided on a precise metal transport chain and cut into lamellas in five to six SPEEDLINER modules arranged one behind the other with a kerf of 1.3 mm. Proven saw heads cut with maximum precision and produce a surface that can be glued.
FULLY-AUTOMATED SURFACE LAYER PRODUCTION
Process Automation
The raw material yield plays a major role in the production of top layers. In Fill's highly efficient systems, the lamellas separated from the sawn timber are stacked and sorted according to quality.
The lamellas are then transported to the joint gluing line, where they are glued to form the corresponding top layer decks.
The finished top layer decks are transported to the high-rack warehouse using cross transfer carriages.
TOP LAYER PRODUCTION
Innovative Joint Gluing
The newly developed SPEEDCOMPOSER TOP for top layers enables fully automatic and economical production of 3-layer panels. The system presses lamellas from sawn timber into top layer decks in a very short cycle time.
This innovative joint gluing system uses fast-curing PUR adhesives. They enable a much more efficient production of top layer decks and single-layer boards of outstanding quality - and all this with a very small footprint.
Equipped with longitudinal and/or transverse saws, the system can be integrated into a fully automated production line with loading and unloading gantries.
FULLY AUTOMATED CORE LAYER PRODUCTION
Everything from a single source
In core layer production, lamellas are cut from sawn timber and pressed into glulam, which is then cut up and glued into core layer decks.
This method enables an extremely high yield of up to 75 percent of the raw material.
The finished core layer decks are conveyed to the high-rack warehouse using transverse transfer carriages.
CORE LAYER PRODUCTION
High-speed, compact & space-saving
The SPEEDCOMPOSER CORE presses lamellas made from sawn timber, planed timber or glued wood into high-quality core layers for three-layer panels or parquet in a short cycle time.
Depending on requirements, one or two adhesives can be applied in parallel with the joint gluing system. Commercially available hotmelt adhesives or PVAC white glues are used. While hotmelt ensures fast transport strength, white glue provides high fatigue strength if required. Complex curing systems are therefore not required. Further advantages are a high throughput rate with a compact, space-saving design.
The SPEEDCOMPOSER CORE can be equipped with longitudinal or transverse saws and integrated into a fully automatic production line by means of loading and unloading gantries.
FULLY-AUTOMATED PANEL PRODUCTION
Highly efficient laying system
The quantity of top layer and core layer decks required for a customer order is removed from the high-rack warehouse by means of cross transfer carts and transported to the press system.
As all components are already joint-glued, only a simple surface press without side pressure and press plates is required.
SPOT REPAIR SYSTEM
Individual and flexible solution
The SPEEDFILLER solves repair tasks on panels with various solid wood elements (resin pocket patches, knot dowels, round wood patches, etc.) or viscous filler materials (1C putty, 2C PU, epoxy, etc.).
Thanks to their proven modular design, SPEEDFILLER systems can be individually adapted to a wide range of customer requirements.
The high performance and efficiency as well as a reproducible repair quality allow an upgrade of the panel quality to be achieved.
PANEL FINISH -
SIZING AND SANDING SYSTEM
Ready for transport
The repaired solid wood panels are sanded and formatted in the final process step.
The panels are then stacked and packaged according to the customer order.
FILL SERVICE
Competent, flexible and fast
The FILL SERVICE PLATFORM is a professional and efficient tool that supports the continuous workflow and enhances roductivity. It offers digital service 24 hours a day.
All the relevant information for all Fill systems, e.g. service cases, documents, contacts, system documentation, and much more, can be called up via the platform.
Service notifications can be viewed in real time. Furthermore, a complete service history is available.
Use of innovative technologies and many years of experience in specialist machine engineering and implementing complex projects make Fill a competent and reliable partner. Our strength lies in the identification and practical application of synergies from diverse branches of production.
