The company approached CEDEPA because they intended to upgrade their exisng product line with the addion of a wall panel capability. The new line was designed and developed by SAIP according to the customer’s technical specificaon and needs, in order to be able to produce not only standard but also longer-length sandwich panels. STEADMANS conducted trials and tests in CEDEPA ( www.cedepa.org ), SAIP and DOW R&D centre, specifically conceived to innovate sandwich panel, based in Spain. STEADMANS engineers were able to make foaming and dimensional tests using the on-site industrial-scale connuous producon line and to avail of the modern laboratory instruments. Thanks to the just-in-me change of roll forming on the line, they could perform the tesng phase by using exactly the same panel profile. Results were validated and the new wall panel was ready to be launched. More informaon about Steadmans line: hps://www.saipequipment.com/news/.
