Extra-large plant for just-in-time discontinuous production of wall and roof insulated panels

von Robert Verbruggen, Max Taverna

The request for large foam-insulated sandwich panels is on the rise in Europe, and polyurethane’s characteristics perfectly match the processing difficulties linked with these huge elements. A foaming plant has recently been delivered in Europe to produce very large building panels in a “just-in-time” sequence, according to the method used to assemble the final building. The paper below outlines how the challenge of designing and building a large plant for the purpose of manufacturing extra large panels was met using engineering solutions provided by the Cannon Group.
