Sandvik Process Systems has won a €3m order to supply a double press system, tailored to the specific needs of fibre composite material production.
The plant, for a Korean customer, is due to be commissioned and operational this month (September), five months after installation began.
Sandvik maintains that the new system will have a manufacturing capacity five times greater than the existing equipment.
The Germany-based company has supplied a complete processing system from the initial fibre composite feeding station, through a four zone heating area, a two zone material expansion area and two cooling zones.
It also includes integrated heating, air and water systems and a belt tensioning unit.
The system is designed to process fibre composites into 1200mm wide sheets used in the manufacture of acoustic, insulation and fire resistant building panels.
