Compwood Machines Ltd. - the wood bending company - presents an advanced wood bending technology

</head> <body> <center> <h2> <b>Welcome to the homepage of Rasmussen Engineering</b></h2></center> <p><br>Compwood Machines Ltd. presents an advanced wood bending technology  - making compressed hardwood for easy bending. The technology combines the obvious advantages of steambending with the economical aspects of the lamination technique, however, with carefull consideration to quality and design. <br>The patented process was developed in 1989 at the Danish Technological Institute and involves heating and plastificationof air dried hardwood cants followed by a longitudinally compression ina special horizontal hydraulic press for folding of the cellwalls of the wood. This structural change makes the following bending easy in either hot or cold condition. Furthermore, the finished products or components may be bent in more than one plane and in small radii of curve. In 1998, Compwood Machines Ltd. introduced an industrial series of cost effective compression and bending machines. From 1999, the new generation of flexible edge banding material of flexible  wood was introduced at Interzum, Ligna and Xylexpo 2000. <p>Typical applications: Furniture components, curved handrails, flexible edgebanding material and edges for table tops, thick sliced veneer for parquet flooring (as compwood can be sliced in 5-6 mm without back cracking when dried). <p><a href="http://www.compwood.dk">Click here to learn more about wood bending technology.</a> <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  <br>  </body>
