Karolis Ramanauskas

During my time with the IMA Schelling Group, I gained extensive experience working with both IMA and Schelling equipment, with a primary focus on Schelling machinery. My responsibilities included equipment installation, service, and maintenance, as well as replacing outdated components with upgraded parts and implementing modifications. I worked on both the electrical and mechanical aspects of the machines, frequently collaborating with programmers to solve complex technical issues.

From project initiation to completion, I was responsible for building equipment at the Freda factory in Kaunas, such as IMA Supraline, IMA Tonstad, J-pull, and NPL2. I also managed the reinstallation of a Combima machine at Klaipėdos Baldai. These experiences allowed me to develop strong expertise in building and modifying machines from both mechanical and electrical perspectives.

Together with my colleagues, I participated in the assembly and installation of several Schelling type machines, both in Lithuania and abroad.
