Spacers
Our spacers are laser-welded and used in autoclaves for the production of flat fibre cement boards in order to reduce the curing time and to enhace the properties of these fibre cement boards.
Description
Sitomeca has launched a new generation of laser-welded "omega"-spacers which offers numerous advantages compared to the traditional hand-welded spacers.
No welding markings on the top and bottom stainless steel sheet
Virtual unlimited number of welds increasing the strength of the spacer
Reduced production costs
No warping of the stainless steel sheet after welding
Less residual stresses after welding due to lower heat input
Quality
Sitomeca’s first class European steel suppliers contribute to its concept of total quality. The quality certificate of the steel always follows the raw material from intake up to the delivery.
Sitomeca's spacers are produced at its sister company's production facility in Germany. Apart from our constant raw material and dimensional quality controls, Sitomeca has particular attention for the consistency and quality of the welds produced by our robotic laser welding installation.
Additionally, a report of random quality controls is recorded for the customer. The results of the controls are compiled into a data sheet, indicating all measurements within the agreed tolerances. A copy of the data sheet is submitted to Sitomeca’s customer upon shipment.
Finally, our sister company's production facility is ISO 9001 :2015 certified.
