Within the Elite range several other applications exist which show the philosophy of Boere to deliver tailor-made sanding solutions for individual customers. The knife planer/sander is such an application : single pass planing and fine finishing.
The
top working machines of the Elite TP range have a planing unit preceding one
or more wide belt sanding units. The knife planer/sander is used for larger
stock removals. The cutterhead in the planing unit provides for levelling and/or
calibrating the panels to thickness after which they are sanded. The final finish
to be obtained in one pass depends on the number of sanding units behind. The
machines are available in working widths of 900, 1100 and 1300 mm and can be
equipped with different types of cutterheads and combinations of sanding units.
This depends on the type of material to be machined and the required finish
result.
