  • the layer structure with optionally several synthetic resin layers is finally pressed in a press under pressure and temperature influence, as in EP 1 454 763 B1 to which reference is made in its entirety. Subsequently, the still large-format now coated wood-based panel is divided into individual panels.

  • the way in which the laminate panels required by the end customer are manufactured is, for economic reasons, not possible to satisfy even unusual customer requests within a reasonable delivery time, unless a minimum lot size is required, and even if the minimum lot size has been reached (for example, in Object area, so the equipment of large offices or hotels) a longer delivery time must be taken into account, because of course the system at the panel manufacturer must first be converted accordingly, which is not possible even in the worst order situation within a few hours or days.
  • This problem can be solved by interrupting the chain of the manufacturing process and allowing the dealer, who receives the decoration request of the end customer, to apply the decoration himself to the panels.

  • primed panels are produced as semi-finished products.
  • These have a core of wood-based material, which may be formed for example as OSB, MDF or HDF.
  • This is coated with a primer, which is pressed with the core of the wood-based panel.

  • the primed panels are finally packed safe for transport. Prior to this, quality control can be carried out to ensure the highest possible quality of the primed panels.
  • the laminate manufacturer produces only primed panels to which no decorative layer has to be applied, the laminate manufacturer reduces both the storage costs and the material costs. There is no need to stock decor papers in different decors, or to provide embossing or embossing plates to make panels with different decors. This significantly reduces both the required storage space and the tied capital. In addition, no changeover times, as all panels have the same primer. This allows the production plant to work more economically and the production costs will be further reduced.
  • the primer is in particular dyed.

  • the surface is homogeneous and, if the primer is colored, good coverage. This is very important in combination with a very low defect frequency due to surface defects or dirt particles, in particular for digital printing in which the pre-primed panel is printed directly by means of a digital printer.

  • the various wear layers which may in particular also consist of a synthetic resin, are applied directly one after the other without drying the wear layer previously applied by an application device 126.
  • An applicator 126 in the form of rollers can be operated both in the same and in the opposite direction. In order to coat as many panels 102 as possible in a given time, high feed rates of such applicators 126 are preferred. In particular, feed speeds of between 10 m / min and 30 m / min are suitable.
  • these application devices 126 can also be in the form of an injection or spray painting device, a digital print head, a casting head or a vacuum be.
  • Abrasion-resistant particles, for example corundum, or other additives may be present in each applied layer. These depend on the later use of the then finished panel.
  • the wear layers applied in the coating device 124 which may for example be in the form of a lacquer, are only gelatinized by high-energy rays, for example electrons or UV rays.
  • a stamping device 134 a structure is embossed in the upper side of the coated panel, that is to say the useful layers. This structure corresponds in particular to the selected decor of the decorative layer applied in the printing unit 110.
  • the embossing of the structure can be done, for example, by means of a structured roller, a structured belt or a structure-regulating paper or a structure-forming film.
  • an overlay paper sheet can be placed and then pressed in a short-cycle press under the action of pressure and heat.
  • structures are provided in particular in the press plates, which impress during pressing into the top of the panel 102.
  • the panel 102 passes through a second curing device 136.
  • the optionally-gelled wear layers are completely cured so that a surface suitable for the respectively selected use of the panel 102 is produced.
  • the panels 102 pass through a quality assurance 138, possibly a label 140 or the like, if necessary, in addition also a cleaning device and are finally packed and can be taken by the customer.
  • the electronic data processing device 114 is coupled to the second electronic data processing device 128.
  • a customer will be given in the processing operation then for example by means of a program different choices. He can choose, for example, whether the panel 102 private or commercial, to be used in the dry or wet area, with references to various commercial use classes are given. In addition, the customer can decide whether the panel to be coated 102 will later be a floor, wall or ceiling panel. This information is important for the wear layers to be applied in the coating device 124. In a device for refining a panel, the useful layers with the required additives and additives are then automatically applied to achieve a certain degree of wear, for example AC3 according to DIN EN 13329. Painting and curing take place automatically.
  • the customer can also choose the format of the panel and the thickness of the support plate as well as the desired decor and possibly a structure to be impressed.
  • both the printing unit 110 and the coating device 124 can be set to the thickness and the format of the panels 102 to be coated.
  • the panels can only be placed in a cardboard box or by means of a film, such as a shrink film, also protected against splashing water.
  • the customer can decide, for example, whether he would like to take the finished panels with him or pick them up at a later time or whether they should be delivered by a third-party company.
  • An installation option by a specialist company is also conceivable.
  • the customer may, for an additional charge, select warranty and warranty options and, if necessary, decide whether to buy or rent the panels.
  • the coating and the curing of the paint layers can be done automatically. Since the lacquers or resin layers used, which are applied as useful layers, can be optimized for this application, in particular with regard to their viscosity, a smooth application without increased or minimum lacquer applications at the beginning and at the end of the panels 102 to be coated can be ensured. In order to protect the connecting and locking elements already formed on the panels 102, masks may be used which prevent soiling or contamination of these connecting and locking elements. In particular, when curing lacquer layers applied by the adjustment of the radiation intensity, the adhesion of the individual layers to each other and the final curing can be realized and guaranteed. For multiple jobs, the corresponding part of the installation, ie coating device 124 and first curing device 132 and second curing device 136, can be run through multiple times.
  • the method described has a number of advantages. After completion of the surface, the customer can immediately take the finished product in the desired quantity and quality. This solves in particular the problem of small quantities for the laminate panel manufacturer since he only has to manufacture one type of panel, namely pre-primed and structured panels, if necessary in different dimensions. Since the connecting and locking means are milled in this process on pre-primed panels or worked in any other form, the resulting milling waste is reduced in particular by the fact that on the pre-primed panels no decorative paper or overlay paper is applied. As a result, the production costs are significantly reduced. In addition, the described method significantly reduces transport damage or transmission errors in orders, because the customer can stand directly in front of the device and enters his wishes. A transfer of an order to a laminate manufacturer is no longer necessary.
