A new era of in-house testing at Bambooder

We're excited to announce a significant milestone for Bambooder with the creation of our very first in-house testing lab. This dedicated space is now home to two cutting-edge machines: the Fontijne Presses LabManual 300 and the Instron 34TM30kN. These tools mark the first steps towards our goal of consistently delivering validated, high-quality products. With these machines in place, we're not just improving our testing capabilities but also making a firm commitment to professionalism and continuous improvement.

Explore how our new Fontijne Presses LabManual 300 and Instron 34TM30kN are revolutionizing in-house testing and innovation.


Fontijne Presses LabManual 300: Precision in composite manufacturing

The Fontijne Presses LabManual 300 press is a powerful addition to our lab. It enables us to create samples from our thermoplastic short fiber mats with precision and consistency. This press allows us to test polymers under various temperature and pressure cycles, helping us to determine the optimal manufacturing parameters. An additional advantage of having the LabManual 300 is its ability to replicate production conditions accurately, which ensures that the samples we produce for testing are as close to real-world conditions as possible. This level of precision is crucial for developing reliable, high-performance materials.

Instron 34TM30kN: Ensuring consistent quality

After preparing the bamboo composite plates according to ISO 527 (tensile) and ISO 178 (flexural) standards using the LabManual 300, they are ready to be tested on our new Instron 34TM30kN. This machine offers the advantage of performing detailed mechanical testing right here in our facility. By having the Instron in-house, we can conduct tests on randomly selected rolls during production, ensuring that every batch meets our stringent quality standards. This capability is a game-changer, allowing us to catch any potential issues early and maintain the high quality that Bambooder is known for.

A new chapter in quality and innovation

The addition of the Fontijne Presses LabManual 300 and the Instron 34TM30kN to our facility represents a new chapter in Bambooder's commitment to excellence. With these machines, we are now fully equipped to perform rigorous in-house testing, ensuring that our products are consistently top-notch. This investment in our lab not only enhances our ability to innovate but also reinforces our dedication to delivering professional, high-quality products that meet the needs of our customers. We're thrilled to take this step forward and excited about the possibilities it brings for the future of Bambooder.
