Explaining the Solid Wood Bending process 

Thanks. Actually, we supply these machines all over the world to those companies that are dedicated to high quality chairs and high performance sleighs or luges. Even those who developed the process (Thonet in the 1840ies) are our customers today.

+GHEBavaria hi i want to buy this machine. how to contact with you?? can you please give me a quotation ? Thanks

Hi Christi, Sorry for answering so late, but we do have customers in China, too. It's not so unlikely that what you bought was made on our machine. For softening, we use only steam from water. No adhesives, no chemicals.

+Mike Grant : make a frame according to the required geometry. Fix it in that frame and dry it down to 8% moisture content or less. Then, it should stay in that shape and not loose it unless you do a further steam softening. Remark: wood bending is reversible.

Don't think so. Actually, it's a kind of black magic... ;-)

I am bending wood size: 650*90*30. R250

Wood has visco-elastic properties. During the drying process, these visco-elastic behaviour is trensferred into a visco-plastic state from where it's finally freezing. If the cracks happen AFTER bending, it's because the wood is releasaed from the strap while there is still some elasticity inside (wood hasn't colled down yet). These elastic shares still cause tensile stress inside the part. As a result, cracks appear. What you can do to avoid is, opening the strap / clamp later. The part has to have cooled down at least. In your case, with a thickness of 30 mm (radial to bending !), a cooling time of some 45 ... 60 min should be O.K.. The bending ratio of R250 and thickness 30 mm is shouldn't be the problem at all, provided that you use appropriate end-stops during bending and cooling (elastic share freezing). For further questions, please go to our website and send us a direct e-mail. Kindly tell us on top, what is the gear you use for bending?

We have a show-room with everything inside. We have a customer where we can take prospective buyers to, too.

Please send us an e-mail with name & location of the company that want to buy the machine. We'll answer and send everything necessary.
