 Combex has developed a custom manufacturing system for production of Structural Insulated Panels. The production lines are 210 ft long with six working stations where the panel molds are prepared, layered and transported to the curing oven. The curing oven is located on the lower level of the production line in order for the material flow to be optimized.
Our panels are comprised of a proprietary blend of polymer resins, additives, fine aggregate fillers and a polyurethane foam core. The exterior skins are placed on a mold into which the foam core is injected. After assembly, the panel mold is passed back through an oven to cure. When it comes off of our assembly line, the panel is a building unit with two cured, finished, smooth structural surfaces and a molded insulating core of polyurethane foam. The panel is then sent to the cutting room for fine trimming and slotting.
As the panels reach the cutting room, they are secured to the cutting table and then trimmed by our automated saw system to specified dimensions and shapes. At the same time, the flutes (utility chases) are cut into the panel frames. The cutting patterns for this system are first produced via computer aided design and drafting (CADD) system, then programmed into the saw system for cutting and slotting.
