Layout planning for press line and plant expansion at HÖRMANN Automotive

Overview

Location: Bánovce nad Bebravou, Slovakia
Production/logistics area: approx. 11.600 sqm
Press line: five individual presses
Scrap conveying system: Shaft and system especially for the press line

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully implemented the layout planning for a press line and the plant expansion for HÖRMANN Automotive. The aim was to design a resilient pit, scrap conveyor system and machine installation and to define a layout optimized for space and material flow for the existing hall and expansion.

Project content

Press line pit planning

Design and planning of the press pit for five individual presses. Geometry, accesses and interfaces designed for safe assembly and maintenance.

Scrap conveyor shaft and system

Planning of a scrap conveyor shaft and the associated system specifically for the press line. Integration into layout and material flow with clear delivery logics.

Machine installation in the existing production hall

Layout planning for optimized machine installation. Short distances, clear transfer points and space-saving arrangement to stabilize processes.

Layout of hall extension (approx. 11,600 m²)

Development of the extension layout with a focus on short material flows, space efficiency and flexibility. Coordination of routes, storage areas and logistics zones.

Material flow and flexibility concept

Definition of route relationships, buffer areas and delivery zones. Focus on flexibly scalable variants and fast changeovers.

Advantages of our solution

• Space efficiency: Optimized machine set-up and expansion layout save space and increase usable floor space.
• Material flow quality: Short distances and clear delivery logics shorten throughput times and stabilize operations.
• Operational safety: Sophisticated pit planning and integrated scrap conveyor system facilitate assembly, maintenance and safe work.
• Future-proof: Flexible layouts support variant changes and gradual expansion options.
• Readiness for implementation: Precise pit and conveyor system design creates a clear basis for construction and installation.
