Kraft—industrial equipment

We source and support KRAFT machinery from G. KRAFT Maschinenbau GmbH, the German, family-run builder (roughly six generations and two centuries of manufacturing) that specializes in high-end double-end tenoners for the board, XPL, and flooring industries. The double-end tenoner (Doppelendprofiler) is the heart of the line. It profiles both edges of a workpiece simultaneously for precise length- and cross-processing of solid wood, panel, and composite parts.

KRAFT builds its machines around a modular kit system, using the same components across all types and sizes, where the number of working units defines the machine length and column count. That means a line can be configured tightly to your parts and later extended without a bespoke redesign. We can spec the standard double-chain machine, the narrow two-track chain machine that runs planks down to about 115 mm as well as wide parts on the same machine, or the belt machine for feed speeds up to 350 m/min.

Beyond the tenoner, we supply and integrate the surrounding line, including gantry feeding and transfer systems, conveyor and handling technology, dividing and cross-cut sawing, 5-axis milling, storage, assembly, and packaging stations. KRAFT lines are common in high-volume flooring and door plants where uptime and part-to-part consistency drive the economics, so the engineering priority is high feed rates with repeatable results.

As the North American partner, we stock and supply KRAFT spare parts, wear components and tooling, and we coordinate machine selection, delivery, and commissioning. We work as a sourcing and support partner rather than a shelf-stock warehouse, keeping installed KRAFT equipment productive with fast access to the right consumables and replacement units.

Typical Applications

  • Double-end profiling and sizing of laminate and engineered flooring planks
  • Length- and cross-processing of door and frame components
  • Edge processing of furniture panels and board/XPL products
  • Running both narrow (down to ~115 mm) and wide parts on a single two-track machine
  • Complete interlinked lines with gantry feeding, sawing and tenoning
  • Automated conveying, storage, handling and packaging of finished workpieces

Kraft: Common Questions

It profiles both edges of a workpiece at the same time, giving precise length- and cross-processing of flooring planks, door components, and panel parts. Because both sides are machined in one pass, you get high throughput with tight part-to-part consistency.

It depends on the configuration. The belt machine reaches feed speeds up to 350 m/min, while chain-transport machines run up to roughly 180 m/min. We help match the machine type to your part mix and target output.

Yes. The narrow two-track chain machine processes planks down to about 115 mm as well as wide workpieces on the same machine, which avoids extensive tool changeovers and one-off special solutions.
