1. Saw :

The saw cuts various round, rectangular or square pipes required in the fabrication of our products. These pipes are then transformed into heat exchangers or channels.

Churn : The churn is used to burr parts. It removes the sharp edges that can be dangerous for the operators.

2. Stopa :

The Stopa is a fully automated material storage system. It can accommodate 5' x 10' steel sheets. Each drawer supports a maximum load of 6,000 lbs and measures in real time the weight of the material.

3. Cutting machines :

These machines are used to cut parts in the steel sheets. They can receive 5' x 10' sheets with a thickness that can reach up to 3/8".

4. Sorting and packing :

Here, operators sort and count the components. They then stack them on pallets or put them in wire baskets. Most parts are then shipped to the press brakes.

5. Press brakes

These machines are used to fold blanks. They can apply pressure up to 130 tons.

6. Pre-assembly with welding

Here, the cut and the folded parts are assembled. They are joined together by welding, riveting, or bolting. Once assembled, this group of parts is called "sub-assembly." The majority of sub-assemblies are then routed toward the assembly lines.

7. Robotic welding cell :

The pre-assembly station has a robotic welding cell. It is a machine on the cutting edge of technology. It allows us to choose between several types of welding processes and to weld different thicknesses or different types of material simultaneously.

8. Painting line :

This line is used to paint accessories such as faceplates, blower cages or cast iron legs. It also paints the parts that are not routed toward the assembly line, such as ash drawers.

9. Manual pre-assembly

The pre-assembly station is used to assemble electronic and mechanical components such as control boards for pellet stoves.

10. Store :

Our store is the place in the factory where most components transit. It stores items such as blowers and bolts needed to make our products. A storekeeper prepares the quantities required for the different work stations.

11. Assembly line :

Here begins the main assembly of an appliance. The mounting begins with the appliance's firebox. We then add the internal channels and air intake components. The next step is to add the top as well as the legs or the pedestal. We then add the door and the refractory bricks. Finally, before the unit is sent to the paint booth, we sand and buff various areas to insure a perfect finish.

12. Paint room :

Here, the appliances are cleaned and painted. A painter uses a gun for hard-to-reach areas. A paint robot then completes the work.

13. Finish line :

The assembly of our heating appliance is just about completed. The unit first passes through the drying area where it will stay for approximately 3 minutes. Then, it is sent to the finishing conveyor. There, the glass is installed on the door frame, along with decorative parts, labels, and owner's manuals. It finally ends with the packaging of the appliance.
