Edgebanders SPRINT Series: Superior competency for edgebanding

The Zottler Cabinet Making Shop in Styrian, Austria, handles all types of classic construction and furniture making work. Their operations depend on machines from HOLZ-HER for universal applications.

[...] As a master cabinet maker, Zottler builds high quality furnishings for residential dwellings, hotels and restaurants as well as complete furnishings for retirement and nursing homes and student dormitories for customers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. “Recently we just completed 250 kitchens as well as the complete room furnishings for student dormitories in Graz’s CoolCity [...] For the team with its 48 employees working like a small industrial mass-production shop in two-shift operation, failure of a machine would be disastrous. During the last 5 years a great deal of time has been spent developing efficient processes and a bundle of money invested in state-of-the-art machines to ensure that these processes run smoothly.

What brought you to HOLZ-HER? Zottler: "After the initial period nearly ten years ago, we were confronted with the decision whether to spend a lot of money to convert the old panel saw or just buy a new one right away. We made a foresighted decision. An existing contact recommended HOLZ-HER. And ever since that time, Zottler has invested regularly in new machines from the plant in Voitsberg, which is only an hour’s drive, “because when it comes to our essential machines, we only want one company to contact, who needs to be in the vicinity and offer true Austrian quality.” And if things ever get really critical, interjected Peter Gadi, Regional Sales Manager at HOLZ-HER and responsible for the projects at Zottler, we send a service technician to Passail immediately to solve the problem.

In 2016 The Endl Carpentry Shop in Winzer invested in a state-of-the-art HOLZ-HER edgebander to upgrade their machinery. Continuous investments in combination with their confidence in HOLZ-HER’s knowhow have made the Endl Carpentry Shop an excellently equipped facility and perfect contact partner for customers. The proprietor Roland Endl chose a SPRINT 1329 Black Edition Edgebander with full equipment.

The SPRINT 1329 offers a number of significant advantages for woodworking: On the one hand, the optimized “Glu Jet” application system allows automatic replenishment of the glue cartridges . This unique hybrid technology ensures trouble-free use of EVA and PUR adhesives while its short heat-up time of just 3 minutes and low energy consumption for remelting the glue make it a true resource saver. Concealed front edges, drawer bottoms, etc. can also be protected from moisture and damage with thin edging. Program selection allows the machine to be set up without even opening the hood, so that it is ready for production immediately.

45 years of experience in the area of edgebanders have made HOLZ-HER the leader. The results are worth seeing: invisible transition from panel to edging has made these edgebanders an essential part of the equipment at the Endl Carpentry Shop.

Automobile manufacturers are not the only ones offering hybrid systems. For example, cabinet maker Michael Schaaf put his confidence in HOLZ-HER edgebanders capable of processing polyurethane (PUR) as well as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) with minimum change-over times.

Michael Schaaf has dedicated his life to cabinet making. His range of specialization comprises the entire width of interior finishing work including custom pieces of furniture and furnishings for kitchen and bath as well as construction of outdoor patios and even includes small, but very exclusive furnishings for shops. His fondness for extraordinary custom work finds its expression in a very special field of endeavor: Interior appointments in custom trailers and campers. "This is all custom work", he explains and adds: "As a rule, we do two trailers or campers a year - this is a niche where we feel comfortable. We also repair the interiors of these vehicles. “And the work on these vehicles is usually very time-consuming. “At least two employees work four to five weeks on a single job of this type”, he emphasizes. "Moreover, relatively small pieces of furniture is used here, which requires a great deal of time for production. For example, I completely equipped a camper with appointments with a high gloss finish, including the floorboards."
