LATROBE, PA. (February 2, 2009) - Polyurethane Process Industries, LLC, (PPI) can now offer complete design, equipment and technical support for construction of continuous and discontinuous panel production lines in the United States thanks to a new engineering divsion launched by OMS Group.
Last month, OMS Group announced the creation of OMS Automation, a fully in-house division that will focus on the design and construction of dedicated cutting and handling systems for composite panel production, including:
Longitudinal and transverse cutting units.
"In-flight" cross-cutting machinery.
Horizontal and vertical cooling conveyors.
Unloading and stacking manipulators.
Packing and palletizing lines.
Special solutions for specific customer production requirements
"This new division reinforces OMS's position as a leading supplier of panel production plants worldwide," said Mark Clark, general manager of PPI, which is the exclusive distributor of OMS equipment in the United States. "Now, through the assistance of OMS Automation, we can supply turnkey, rigid and flexible foam panel production systems throughout the United States."
OMS Automation has the ability to ensure that all ergonomic, functional and energy-related aspects of a production line are considered and optimized during creation of a fully integrated system. The division's engineers will be able to study production requirements and supply solutions for all types of panel processes and substrates, including paper- or metal-faced panels, PIR or PUR types of polyurethane foam, phenolic foam or rockwool bonded with polyurethane adhesive, Clark said.
OMS Group launched OMS Automation in January on the occasion of the company's 40th anniversary. The new division brings an innovative mentality and natural synergy to OMS Group's 40 years of know-how and patented production technologies. It also gives customers the benefit of dealing with a single, reliable experienced supplier for all of their equipment needs, OMS Sales Manager Eraldo Greco said.
"We believe our technology and quality to be second to none in the market, and we can proudly list all the most important manufacturers in Europe and around the world as not only customers, but also as partners with whom we have worked and cooperated to bring their most ambitious projects to fruition," Greco concluded.
