SIP production line

Our company provides all services for development of wood-frame construction, such as:

Standard Production Line

Standard Line is capable to produce 400-500 sq m of SIPs in 8 hrs shift. Equipment is not fully automated and needs labor to be involved. All operations are covered by 5 persons. Standard line consists of two main components – vacuum (or hydraulic) press and glue applicator. Production process requires some additional equipment such as air system for pneumatic tools and forklift for handling of panels. Due to very low energy consumption, production costs are minimal. Installation and start up of standard line requires 3 days.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are typically made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation (10-20 cm thick) between two structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB) reinforced with inserted beams. SIPs share the same structural properties as an I-beam or I-column. The rigid insulation core of the SIP performs as a web, while the OSB sheathing exhibits the same properties as the flanges. SIPs replace several components of conventional building such as studs and joists, insulation, vapor barrier and air barrier. The thickness of ready panel varies from 11 to 25 cm depending on it's purpose. Dimensions of ready panels also differ within a maximum of 2.4 x 7.0 m. As such they can be used for many different applications such as exterior wall, roof, floor and foundation systems.

Assembling of panels and further house construction does not necessarily require heavy lifting machinery, as panels are light (18-20 kg of 1 sq m of panel), and also there is no need for qualified labor – one specialist supervises and manages manufacturing and assembling of houses.

SIP homes require no special heating system. Forced air, electric, solar, radiant and wood burning systems are all suitable, though some are more appropriate than others for a specific home design. Walls constructed of SIPs typically provide superior insulating qualities. SIPs also inherently have significantly less air infiltration (if properly installed). The solid foam cores in correctly installed SIPs create a tight building envelope.

Electrical wiring is typically run in the conventionally framed interior walls, but there will be some wiring in the exterior panels. SIP wall panels are typically manufactured with a wire chase at specified height above the sub floor. Wire chases can also be located at counter height for kitchen outlets. Vertical chases can be provided, but are often not needed because the wire can be run along a door opening or through interior wall framing. Plumbing is not normally run through foam core panels.
