Valinge Installing New Advanced Production Line

Viken, Sweden, Feb. 5, 2009--Valinge is installing at its research and development center a new production line for laminate and wood floorings that it says will be the most advanced in the world.

The production line is flexible and can produce any type of floating floor panels with widths down to 57 mm and lengths up to 2600 mm at a speed of up to 200 m/min.

The long and short edge machines have 10 tooling stations on each side and are equipped with 5G inserting equipment and edge treatment. New tooling technology has been developed which reduces production tolerances and allows cost efficient forming of advanced geometries.

The new Välinge line is also equipped with a solid edge machine, which makes it possible to form bevels with the same surface as the floor panel. It is also adapted to machine the new WFF floor.

The new production line will be available for demonstration in June.
