Fibre-spreading Lines
KARL MAYER can supply a machine technologies for producing dry, unidirectional fibre tapes for use in lightweight construction applications. Our FIBRESpreader UD 500 and UD 800 can be used to produce fibre tapes with low weights from continuous filament yarns, such as carbon, glass and aramid. The tapes can be produced in widths of up 800 mm. Modular machine technology enables additional bonding agents to be incorporated, such as adhesive grids, powders and films.
Benefits
High quality of unidirectional tapes
High flexibility
Modular machine concept
Customised configuration
