Production Process


Director, Stan Gey van Pittius, says, the factory can produce up to 600 - 38mm Honey Comb products in a single day.


As it stands at the moment several thousand MDF doors and Honey Comb doors, cupboards and bookshelf components are produced every single month. To do this it requires over 30 tons of Masonite, MDF and Particle Board, several tons of wood glue and several kilometres of specialised wood coatings.


The actual production of Honey Comb products is a straightforward operation. However, the hardest part of making these products is ensuring the upgrading process of the materials is not compromised and tight deadlines are no excuse for cutting corners.

The Particle Board, Masonite and MDF are cut to size on a Beam Saw. The Masonite or MDF “skins” are then put through a glue spreader, the frame is placed on the “skins”, and the resulting hollow is then filled with a honeycomb inner and sealed with a second “skin”.

These “components” are placed in a Siempelkamp press where they are “cured” for several minutes at a temperature of approximately 95°C at a pressure of around 10 bar. The components are moulded to the required specifications and then go through a temperature controlled foiling machine where after they are cut, drilled, packed and shipped.
