Second bander
21st March 2017

Composite door manufacturer DOORCO has taken delivery of a second Edgebander as part of its £5 million investment programme to date.

Senior Production Manager Matt Le Masurier said: “The new Biesse Edgebander runs at 18 meters a minute, meaning one machine can theoretically edge nine sides a minute, or 270 doors an hour. The problem for suppliers who only have one Edgebander is that in the event of a breakdown, they can’t route, paint, pack or ship a single door, irrespective of how much equipment or how many personnel they have downstream - the job stops. If fault diagnosis identifies a need for replacement parts, the situation very quickly snowballs and customers end up paying the price.”
