Our team has many years of experience in mechanical and plant engineering for the calcium silicate brick industry. At TechLine GmbH, we have built on this expertise and developed a fully automated sawing system for large-format calcium silicate elements.
Plant Concept
The system enables large-format calcium silicate elements to be prefabricated directly at the factory according to the wall layout. The elements are cut precisely to size, numbered and prepared ready for installation, allowing them to be installed directly on site with virtually no additional cutting required. Angled and diagonal cuts, for example for gable walls, can also be produced reliably.
This construction method is becoming increasingly important as it reduces construction times, simplifies installation and improves planning reliability. It enables calcium silicate brick manufacturers to expand their product range with installation-ready elements while making their production processes more efficient and predictable.
Technical Implementation
All components, including conveyor systems, gripper systems, automation components and packaging equipment, were engineered by us and integrated into the overall concept. A key element is our own sawing technology, featuring a standardised saw module for straight and angled cuts. This simplifies the plant structure and reduces engineering and integration effort. Multiple identical modules allow capacity and cycle rate to be flexibly adapted to different production requirements.
“Complex challenges do not require complicated solutions, but clearly structured systems.”
The automation and control systems are implemented in cooperation with experienced partners specialising in programming and plant control. The result is an integrated solution in which mechanics, automation and process logic work seamlessly together.
