Compression Molding
Of Fleece, Plastics or Wood
We manufacture various cases and molded parts with several molding presses. Our press lines support large formats and a strong pressing force to press plastics and non-wovens. During the molding process, we heat the material in a contact heater and then shape it in a molding press. For this, we require individual tools that can be produced very cost-effective compared to other production methods.
By separating the heating and forming / cooling station, we achieve short cycle times. This way, the interplay between the heating and pressing module allows us to optimize process times. Thus, a batch production for large volumes is achieved.
Through targeted heating and the corresponding tools, it is possible to press the non-wovens completely or only partially. Therefore it is possible to integrate acoustically effective cushions / upholstery into an otherwise rigid component.
Non-wovens can be laminated during the forming process with a foil, fleece or with textile decor material (one-shot process). This results in a greater flexibility of surfaces decorations and colors.
TYPE | Compression Molding Machine |
FORMAT AREA | Up to 2000 x 1000 mm (several smaller formats) |
MATERIALS WE PRESS | Natural fiber composite materials, polyester formfleece, non-woven materials |
In the molding process, we can calibrate the pressing force, heating time and press length with a vast variety of options. It allows the parts to have flexible 3D shapes and to achieve a desired strength of the component. Haptics and material properties can additionally be influenced.
