Post-Processing Line

The Post-processing Line handles the processes the XPS board undergoes after extrusion, which include creation of the tongue joint and final shaping of the product.

The system is designed to produce dimensionally accurate boards with controlled shapes and surfaces of consistent quality.

The Puller is available in a standard configuration with rollers or with vacuum technology developed by DDL, designed to reduce compression on the tongue when the board is handled.

The Roughing station allows milling widths of up to 200 mm to be obtained, thereby preparing the board for the next processes.

The Flying knife is a single-blade cutting system driven by linear motors.

The carriage is made of aluminium to reduce the moving weights and is equipped with a V-shaped blade that can cut in both directions.

The Paternoster system is available in various configurations, tailored to the requirements of the production line.

It can be used to cool the boards, to reverse the direction of the line or to compensate for differences in height between the various sections of the system.

The Planer and Groover system allows for fine adjustment of XPS board thickness. The processing parameters are automatically adjusted to suit production requirements, ensuring dimensional accuracy and process repeatability.

The Thermobonding system is designed to weld the boards together by applying controlled heat, in accordance with the product and process specifications. DDL has been a pioneer in applying this technology to XPS.

The longitudinal milling system uses high-friction belts and vacuum systems to ensure perfectly square panels and a high-quality surface finish.

Dedicated milling tools enable flat edges, stepped battens or special profiles to be made, depending on the customer’s specific requirements.

The End trim and stacker station combines the milling, cutting (if required) and stacking operations of boards ready for the packaging line.

Dedicated milling tools create flat edges, stepped battens or tongue joints, even when the board is cut into two pieces.
