A prestigious internal wall panelling contract for a major project in Kuwait was the spark that led a West Sussex office furniture manufacturer to buy further sanding technology.

The job demanded a wider sanding machine than the Boere door finishing line already operated by Komfort Office Environments, Crawley.

Boere UK specified its Elite 1650 HD-TCS wide belt sander, featuring a working width of 1650mm and sanding height capacity of 150mm. Designed for heavy-duty performance, the machine’s combination head and sanding pad unit are driven by 40hp and 30hp motors, allowing an infinitely variable feed speed of 5-25m/min.

The Elite, which cost about £55,000, operates adjacent to Komfort’s existing door line, featuring two other linked Elites – a 1300 BK bottom sanding machine and a 1300 TK top sander, with working widths of 1300mm and 150mm depths.
