Barcelona – Last week we have commissioned two press-out units at Sun Chemical in Barcelona, Spain.

Sun Chemical, a worldwide operating company in chemical industry. Till this year they had only in their plant in Zaandam, the Netherlands, press-out units from Domas Systems. Because of expansion of their activities in their Barcelona plant, we get the order for two new press-out devices for feeding tree roll mills. This project was very special for us, these press-outs were designed for very big vessels, 1.300mm, the biggest pres-outs we ever made.

For our client Jos Poell B.V. from Weert, The Netherlands, we’ve developed and build a 36-way toast slicing machine. The machine cuts thin slices of bread from pre-baked baguettes which are then baked-off in an oven. Toast with a thickness of 9 mm, 7 mm and 4 mm can be processed.

At the end of December the entire project was completed in the factory of Domas Systems. In January the machine will be commissioned at the clients production area in Weert.

We have invested in a new vertical machining center, a Doosan DNM 500II. This machine gives us the ability to produce more special parts for our prototype machines and for our serial machines. The machine is purchased from Dormac.

We will now look for a suitable CAM package that will fullfill our needs and that will help us to convert 3d models into milling programmes.
