THE EFFECTS ON THE MANUFACTURING OF COFFINS AND CASKETS

 BACKGROUND  MANUFACTURING  TIMING  TRENDS

 MDF- MEDIUM DENSITY FIBREBOARD  THESE HAVE A PRESSED ON TIMBER PRINT.  SOLID TIMBERS……  PINE  ROSE MAHOGANY  JARRAH

 THE CUSTOM BOARD SIZES  7’ X 4’ = 2100 X 1200 X 16MM  8’ X 4’ = 2400 X 1200 X 16MM  SOLID TIMBERS  150MM X 25MM X RANDOM LENGTHS

 THE OVERSIZE COFFIN AND CASKETS ARE RESTRICTED BY THE MACHINE CAPABILITIES. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE WIDTH OF THE THICKNESSER AND PROFILER MACHINES THE SIZE OF THE CNC TABLES

PROFILES CUT FOR GRECIAN URN SIDE

READY FOR THICKNESSING

MINIMUM WASTE FROM EACH STD SHEET

 TIMBER ARRIVES ROUGH SAWN  PUT THROUGH FIVE SIDE MOULDER, SQUARED AND FINGER JOINTED  TIMBER CLAMPED TOGETHER  THEN THICKNESSED  CUT TO SIZE  LID SECTIONS SEND TO ROUTERS  BOX SECTIONS SEND TO KERFING MACHINE

READY FOR CLAMPING TOGETHER

7 X 4 AND 8 X 4 SHEETS

6’ X 20” 6’3” X 29”

 THESE COULD TAKE UPTO 5 DAYS FROM START TO FINISH TO COMPLETE  DRESS AND PREP TIMBER  GLUE AND JOIN IN PRESS/ 8 HOURS DRYING TIME  PREPARE AND CUT TO SIZE  ASSEMBLE AND PREP BOX FOR POLISH  SEAL, COLOUR AND SATIN COAT  TRIMMING

 EXTRA WEIGHT  TWO PERSON HANDLING COMPONENTS  TWO PERSON TO ASSEMBLE  CURING TIME FOR GLUE, CUTTING ON MACHINES  CURING TIME FOR GLUE, ON FINISHED ITEM, PREFER TO CURE OVERNIGHT

 THESE WOULD REQUIRE A 3 DAY TURNAROUND  CUT MANUALLY ON PANEL SAW  THEN ASSEMBLE, MORE TIME REQUIRED FOR EXTRA BRACING AND HAND ROUTERING LID AND BOTTOMS  PREP AND POLISH IF REQUIRED  TRIMMING.. ORDER SPECIAL DRAPERY

 CREMATORIUM AVAILABLE SIZES  EACH CREMATORIUM SIZE VARIES  MAXIMUM WIDTH OF BOX  INCLUDING HANDLES  LIMIT TO HOW WIDE WE CAN MANUFACTURE LARGE BOXES  16MM BOTTOMS EXTRA BRACING REQUIRED  ALL CUT MANUALLY

THINK OF US WHEN ORDERING LARGER SIZES
