In the world of metalworking, the sawing process is often the starting point for everything that follows. That is precisely why reliability is essential. Materials are becoming heavier, tolerances tighter, and series increasingly versatile. Van Hoorn Machining has been responding to this development for many years by supporting manufacturing companies with high-quality sawing solutions that focus on continuity, quality, and knowledge. Two strong brands play a central role in this vision: KASTO and WIKUS.
Partner in the sawing process
Van Hoorn Machining explicitly profiles itself not only as a supplier, but as a partner in the entire sawing process. In many production environments, sawing is still too often seen as a simple operation, while it is precisely here that major improvements can be achieved. A stable and well-designed sawing process ensures less waste, more reliable planning, and higher productivity in subsequent operations.
Van Hoorn Machining’s strength lies in the combination of technical knowledge, practical experience, and a clear focus. By consciously concentrating on KASTO and WIKUS, the company can offer solutions that prove themselves in practice every day, without losing sight of the customization that modern production environments require. This approach ensures long-term relationships and trust among customers in a wide range of sectors.
KASTO: machines and systems that bring continuity
KASTO is internationally renowned for its band sawing machines and complete solutions for the sawing process. The machines are distinguished by their robust construction, high precision, and long service life. Whether for single pieces, small series, or fully automated production lines, KASTO delivers solutions designed for continuous operation and consistent quality.
In addition to band sawing machines, KASTO also develops storage systems that contribute to a clear, safe, and efficient production environment. These systems bring structure to material management and logistics, allowing processes to be better aligned. By approaching machines and storage systems as a whole, a smoother workflow and more control over the entire sawing process is achieved.
In daily practice, KASTO solutions ensure predictability on the shop floor. They continue to perform reliably, even with intensive use and a wide range of materials. Modern controls make the machines and systems user-friendly, while automation options contribute to the efficient deployment of people and resources. This fits in well with the challenges many manufacturing companies face today.
WIKUS: the right saw blade as a determining factor
A high-quality band sawing machine only really comes into its own with the right saw blade. That is why WIKUS is an essential part of Van Hoorn Machining’s total concept. WIKUS is a leading manufacturer of saw blades and is known for its consistent quality, innovative product development, and in-depth knowledge of materials.
In practice, it often turns out that choosing the right saw blade is decisive for the end result. Tooth shape, tooth configuration, and blade quality have a direct influence on cutting speed, service life, and surface quality. A relatively small adjustment can already lead to less downtime, a smoother sawing process, and lower costs per cut. This makes the saw blade a crucial link in the overall process.
Van Hoorn Machining provides targeted and substantiated advice in this area. In doing so, we not only look at the material to be sawn, but also at the machine configuration, the batch size, and the desired output. The result is saw blade advice that is in line with the daily reality on the shop floor and directly contributes to a more efficient and stable process.
The power of cohesion
The real added value arises when the machine, saw blade, and process are perfectly matched. KASTO and WIKUS complement each other seamlessly in this respect. A stable band sawing machine, supported by well-designed storage systems and combined with a high-quality saw blade, ensures a reliable sawing process with consistent quality and predictable performance.
Van Hoorn Machining acts as the connecting link in this process. Thanks to its experience with a wide range of applications and sectors, the company knows where bottlenecks arise and how they can be prevented. This makes Van Hoorn Machining a permanent sparring partner for many customers, not only when purchasing machines and saw blades, but throughout the entire service life of the installation.
Looking ahead with confidence
Metalworking never stands still. Automation, staff shortages, and ever-higher quality requirements call for well-considered choices and reliable partners. Van Hoorn Machining therefore continues to invest in knowledge, service, and long-term partnerships. With KASTO and WIKUS as its cornerstones, the company is prepared for the future of the sawing process.
Not through hard sales talk, but through a down-to-earth approach and solutions that prove themselves in practice every day. That is the strength of Van Hoorn Machining.
