Material flow with system
Nowadays companies perform in a highly demanding and very sensitive market. Flexibility and creativity are no longer catchwords but necessities to succeed in an ever strengthening and competitive market. Business processes have to be optimized by suitable strategies and costs continuously reduced. In the area of manufacture it requires constant flexibility and efficiency, to be able to act immediately on changing market demands. For over 35 years CREFORM has incorporated in its modular system all elements for an efficient material flow. With the proven philosophy (KAIZEN) and the suitable CREFORM products you will increase the efficiency of your products dramatically.
No matter whether you are active, for example, in the automobile industry, food industry or in aviation; whether you distribute medical devices or assemble electronic components, CREFORM helps your corporation with the introduction of lean manufacturing. Through the use of CREFORM systems a well organized manufacturing process with very short response times and high flexibility develops. Optimal quality, cost reduction and time saving are only a few of the resulting competitive advantages.
The idea of KAIZEN (KAI = change, ZEN = for the better) consists of a continuous implementation of operational suggestions for improvement. Because of its adaptability and its easy application the CREFORM system is the ideal instrument to put into practice the KAIZEN philosophy.
CREFORM Germany is the European Headquarter of the Japanese Group. Japan’s company strategies and products at CREFORM Germany are no passing fashion trend but the key to success in today’s competition.
Japanese engineers from Yazaki Industrial Chemical Corporation already recognized over 30 years ago the necessity for a flexible and consumer-adaptable manufacturing process and developed a revolutionary material handling system by the name of CREFORM.
Within a short period of time this modular system became a bestseller in Japanese and USA markets. Large companies such as Toyota, Ford and Chrysler (see our references) converted their manufacture, within their policy for continual improvement processes (Kaizen), to the patented pipe-coupling system. With this new system it was finally possible to produce on-demand and have it tailor-made. Because of the easy application of the CREFORM-systems even employees at their work place could be actively integrated into the continuous improvement process. This lead to much higher productivity while simultaneously reducing costs.
The high demand for this product also in the European market lead to the founding of CREFORM Technik GmbH Germany in 1999. The CREFORM Technik GmbH (Lohfelden, Germany) is a joint venture of Yazaki Industrial Chemical Co. (Shizuoka, Japan) and the subsidiary CREFORM Corporation (Greer, USA). The CREFORM system is today used globally by leading companies from diverse industries and trade sectors. However, more and more small and medium-sized businesses appreciate the competitive advantage gained through using CREFORM systems.
Because of the enormous demands in the European market, storage capacities have currently increased. CREFORM Germany is the main contact for companies located in the European region, and they like to alter their manufacture to be flexible, modern and suitable for competition.
 | CREFORM - Accessories With different skate wheel conveyors you can transport almost any imaginable container shape in their transport structure. For every application there is a different railway bracket with stop and surrender function.
In the event of damaged castors, every single part of our CREFORM skate wheel conveyors can be exchanged separately.
A broad spectrum of castors and roles with different diameters, running coatings and installation possibilities also form part of CREFORM accessories.
Our technical advisors are more than happy to assist you with the right choice of castors and roles.
CREFORM offers different floor elements for static structures, which are chosen according to your manufacturing requirements.
Also applicable is: light elements for light structures and not vice versa! No unnecessary waste of material. With CREFORM you can always modify.
|  | CREFORM - Joints CREFORM standard joints
Connectors are the base components of all CREFORM structures. The CREFORM pipes are connected through them. Depending on the application, metal or plastic connectors are used. Both types have the same stability but different applications:
Metal Joints:
- Suitable for most applications
- Large choice of joint types
- Standard bolt size (5mm hex head)
- High strength, long-durability steel
- Coated for corrosion resistance
- Nickel-plated version for ESD structures
- Special stainless steel connectors available
- Ø32mm and Ø42mm connectors available
Plastic Joints:
- Numerous options; more than 90 to choose from
- Economical
- Lightweight
- Easy to glue
- Durably firm
- Different colours
- UV and moisture resistant
You can find detailed descriptions regarding all joints in our online shop! |  | CREFORM - Pipes The standard pipe H-4000 has an outer diameter of Ø 28mm. The wall consists of 0.7mm thick cold-rolled steel. Extremely light and high stability characterise this pipe.
The sheathing for ASA thermoplast is available in different colours. The length of the pipe is 4000mm and the inside of the pipe is coated with a corrosion protector. |  | CREFORM - Tools No extra qualification!
A pipe cutter to modify structures, hexagon socket wrench, ratchet to fix nuts and bolts, tape ruler, inside and outside deburrer for pipes and a hammer to drive in the legs – only these few tools are needed to integrate your equipment with CREFORM.
We recommend a simple commercially available vertical band saw to cut larger quantities of pipes. The pipes are very easy to cut because of the adequate wall thickness. |  | FIFO Rack FIFO (First In First Out) racks are, because of their high capacity, ideal for use in small spaces. The single levels can be set to an ergonomically optimal height.
Whether in the store or installed – there is the right solution for every application. Equipped with castors, the racks can at any time be moved for cleaning or maintenance work. |  | Handcart The transportation of parts from one manufacturing area to another does not necessitate higher effort or force. Our handcarts, consisting of CREFORM pipes and connectors, offer a maximum load carrying capacity, tractability and dimensional accuracy with respect to the required size and height.
They are a great alternative to lift trucks and forklifts, which occupy storage space in your manufacturing department. |  | Picking Trolleys Picking trolleys are applicable for parts of almost any size. They can be easily furnished with a towing device to be transported by a hauler or other.
Large wheels made of rubber, polyamide, or polyurethane or ESD castors with protection against electrostatic charge allow for use on any floor and under all circumstances. If necessary, the trolley structure can also be reinforced for greater loads to a point, after which it will become too heavy itself. |  | Workbench Productivity starts with ergonomically configured workbenches with comfortable part-feeder, individually correct and adjusted workbenches and good illumination of the work area.
Workbenches are designed as stationary or, with the appropriate locked castors, mobile. To protect sensitive electronic parts from static charges, ESD pipe and metal connectors are recommended. | |
