The professional association for wood and metal, the BGHM awarded the highest safety award, the “Smart Fox” to Pallmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG. Grinding wheel change – in the past, this task in the Zweibrück machine factory has always had handling difficulties. Especially after a long period of use, the nature and diameter of the discs changed, so that a change was always accompanied by an increased risk of injury or accident.
When the purchase of a new CNC profile grinding machine was due, all manufacturing processes on the machine were literally put through their paces. This gave rise to the idea of finding a solution for more safety and health at work for the problem identified. Said and done. Thanks to this practical and direct cooperation between machine operators and toolmakers, a special device could be developed quickly. For this, the Pallmann Maschinenfabrik with its ideas was now awarded the highest safety award, the “Smart Fox” by the BGHM.
The Pallmann refiner system produces high quality fibres from chips, saw dust, shavings, and annual plants for MDF, HDF, and insulation board production. Pallmann supplies complete plants consisting of perfectly coordinated components to ensure the highest fibre quality with minimal energy input.
