Main advantages of multihead moulders

Multihead moulders are indispensable tools in the woodworking industry due to the numerous benefits they offer and here are some key advantages:

Efficiency: Multihead moulders work on multiple sides of a piece simultaneously, significantly reducing the time it takes to finish a workpiece. This allows for an increased production rate, saving you time and money.

Versatility: Multihead moulders are capable of creating a wide range of profiles, from intricate designs to basic patterns. This flexibility allows you to diversify your product offerings and cater to a wider range of customer needs without the need for multiple machines.

Precision and Consistency: These machines provide consistent, accurate results every time. Regardless of the complexity of the design, you can rely on a multihead moulder to deliver identical profiles across different workpieces. This is crucial in maintaining a high level of quality in your products.

Lower Labour Costs: With a multihead moulder, fewer personnel are needed to operate the machinery compared to traditional methods. This reduction in labour costs can result in significant savings.

Cost Effective Production: While the initial investment for a multihead moulder can be higher than for a single head machine, the long-term cost efficiencies in terms of increased productivity, reduced labour costs, and lower waste make it a wise investment.

Space Saving: A single multihead moulder can replace multiple single head machines, resulting in more efficient use of workspace. This can be a significant advantage for businesses where space is at a premium.

Durability and Longevity: Multihead moulders are robust, industrial-grade machines designed for heavy, regular use. Proper maintenance can extend their service life, providing you with a long-term solution for your moulding needs.

Machine parameters of multihead moulders

When evaluating a multihead moulder, several crucial parameters should be considered. These parameters determine the machine's capabilities and suitability for your specific requirements. It's worth noting that these parameters should be evaluated in conjunction with each other and not in isolation.

Working Width: This determines the maximum width of the material that the machine can handle. It's crucial to consider this if you'll be working with wide boards or panels.

Working Height: Similar to the working width, this parameter indicates the maximum height of the workpiece the machine can accommodate.

Number of Spindles: The number of spindles on a multihead moulder denotes how many sides or profiles the machine can work on simultaneously. Machines typically range from four up to nine spindles, but the most common types are the four or five spindle moulders.

Spindle Speed: The spindle speed, usually measured in rotations per minute (RPM), affects the quality of the cut and the machine's efficiency. Higher speeds generally provide a smoother finish.

Spindle Diameter: This is the diameter of the machine's spindle shafts, determining the size of the tools that can be fitted to the machine.

Feed Speed: This is the rate at which the workpiece is fed through the machine. A variable feed speed allows you to adjust the rate according to the complexity of the work and the type of wood you're using.

Power Rating: The power rating of the machine can give you an idea of its capability to handle hard or dense wood types. It's typically given in horsepower (HP) or kilowatts (KW).

Weight and Dimensions: Consider the overall size and weight of the moulder to ensure it fits within your workspace.

Dust Extraction: This parameter specifies the dust extraction capabilities of the machine, which is crucial for maintaining a safe and clean work environment.

Condition and Age: For used machinery, the condition and age of the machine are essential parameters to consider. They give an indication of the machine's remaining service life and potential maintenance needs.

Area of application of multihead moulders

Multihead moulders find their use in a broad range of woodworking industries due to their versatility and efficiency. Here are some of the primary areas where these machines are used:

Furniture Manufacturing: Multihead moulders are widely used in the production of furniture. They're perfect for creating profiles for frames, legs, panels, and other furniture components with precision and consistency.

Flooring Production: The machines are ideal for the mass production of floorboards and parquet flooring. They can produce consistent, high-quality moulding profiles needed for various types of wooden flooring.

Door and Window Manufacturing: In the production of doors, windows, and their frames, multihead moulders are used to create the intricate details and profiles required.

Construction Industry: For architectural mouldings such as skirting boards, cornices, architraves, dado rails, and more, multihead moulders are an essential piece of machinery. They provide the consistent, high-quality finish required for these decorative elements.

Cabinet Making: Whether it's for kitchen or bathroom cabinets, these machines help in making various parts like cabinet doors, frames, and panels.

Joinery Workshops: Joinery workshops that produce custom pieces can also benefit from multihead moulders. These machines offer the flexibility to create a wide range of moulding profiles, allowing workshops to cater to bespoke customer requirements.

Pallet and Crate Manufacturing: For businesses producing wooden crates and pallets, multihead moulders can quickly and efficiently produce the required components, helping to speed up production.
