The heat produced by the combustion of the raw material, wood chips, is used for underfloor heating and for the automatic painting line: another example of respect for the environnment, in fact, it uses water-based catalysed paints rather than usual solvent-based coatings.A great investment in innovaton is the test field of 15.000 square meters used to perform functional tests on quality of Frandent's machines in extreme conditions.Regarding to the production process, Frandent operates a Lean Production system: a method of organization of production based on the just-in-time, producing only when the customer needs, and on the elimination of any type of waste.The application of this method in Frandent has several implications:first, the layout of the plant allows the production process to follow a liner route, second, robotised welding island ensure higher quality in conditions of total safety for
