Watch video: Ultra-precise surface grinding machine for large moulding sheets

This year's first machinery investment is a reality in the form of a new surface grinding machine from the well-known German manufacturer Ziersch.

It is an extremely modern machine with built-in intelligence that can handle large sheets up to 1000 x 600 millimetres and weighing up to one ton. In that way, the grinding machine is capable of handling even large sheets with a very high degree of precision.

“This is both a very huge and an unusual investment in our industry,” says Managing Director Aage Agergaard about the machine that complements Hjerno's four existing surface grinding machines.

More cavities make way for bigger mould boxes

Aage Agergaard explains the investment with the need to have a surface grinding machine that can deliver the required precision on large mould boxes.

"The development in the industry is moving towards more and more cavities in the mould boxes, which is why we need equipment that can deliver ultra-high precision on sheets for large mould boxes with many cavities."
