SIM.PLY Spread Tow Impregnation Line, Karl Mayer Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH, Germany

Karl Mayer, surely understood for its twist weaving and shaft distorting gear is "spreading" its innovation arms much further by presenting SIM.PLY, an elite tow spreading and pitch impregnation line equipped for creating fiber-strengthened thermoplastic tapes in explicit widths and thicknesses for composite applications. This is Mayer's first texture framing machine that highlights no needles. Right now accessible in a most extreme width of 800 millimeters, the impregnation line is worked in a particular structure that fuses Mayer's cutting edge consistent fiber spreading framework with another impregnation innovation that includes warming zones and weight. The resultant thermoplastic tape shows exact fiber arrangement and can be utilized in various composite applications fit as a fiddle layers for shaped covers or joined with different materials in increasingly complex setups. While spread glass tow was in plain view at the show, various different persistent fiber yarns or rovings — including carbon and aramids — can be utilized with perfect thermoplastic sap frameworks. Furthermore, in a gesture to supportability, with the thermoplastics pitches that are utilized, the materials created are successfully recyclable since the gum framework could be warmed and remolded.
