At our factory, the welding is done mainly for plate thicknesses of more than 10 mm. Both manual and robot-welding is done with MIG/MAG technology. Robot welding is utilized when volumes are large enough or there are a lot of weld beads. Submerged arc welding is also used on structures where the penetration depth of weld beads must be more than usual. In addition, there is a stress relief oven to release internal residual stresses after the welding.
Our production department employs about 40 staff members, with most working in machine and parts manufacturing. Long lasting careers are common at Valon Kone. The decades-long know-how and experience guarantees the quality of our products.
At Valon Kone, debarker manufacturing is carried out based on orders. A big part of the components used in VK debarkers are stored and a substantial amount of the capacity at the Lohja factory is reserved for manufacturing of these spare parts. In connection with the factory, there is the main spare part stock from where subsidiaries, agents and end-users are served worldwide. Even with the same day deliveries, if needed.
We cooperate with schools and universities in the industry and we are glad to provide an internship for a few students yearly. For further questions, please contact our manufacturing manager.
