Fibre Reinforced Composites

Combining different materials to form a composite in order to improve their properties and achieve synergistic effects is a widespread objective. KARL MAYER machines enable you to utilize this technology for all your lightweight construction needs.

Renewable Energy

In the wind turbine market, composite structures are essential for developing lighter, longer rotor blades with improved performance. This innovation allows for the exploitation of coastal regions and areas with less wind, reducing costs. The insights gained here can also be applied to other sectors where lightweight construction technology can enhance performance while reducing weight.

Advantages:

  • Improved stiffness
  • Non-corrosive 
  • Higher effiency 

Transport

In commercial vehicles and public transport, materials must meet high demands for toughness, load capacity, and durability.

Advantages:

  • Design freedom 
  • Enhanced crash safety
  • Reduced maintenance efforts

Boat Hulls

Using KARL MAYER technology, we can meet all market requirements, processing common materials like fiberglass for standard applications in boat building.

Advantages:

  • Non-corrosive
  • Lightweight design
  • Reduced maintenance need

 

 

Sailing Boats

We produce non-crimp fabrics from sustainable natural fibers like flax or hemp, offering a lower CO2 footprint than comparable glass composites while maintaining an equivalent performance-to-weight ratio. The processing of yarns and tapes made from natural fibers is also feasible.

Advantages:

  • Sustainable solution 
  • Recycable material 
  • Lightweight design

Aviation

Composites made from carbon fibers are primarily used where low mass and high rigidity are required. These materials are advantageous in sectors like aviation, automotive, and sports goods, where their benefits can lead to cost savings and performance improvements.

Advantages:

  • Design freedom & drapeability 
  • Integrated structures 
  • Fuel saving
