Ensinger Expands Its Production Capacity for Thermoplastic Composites

Ensinger is investing in production capacity expansion for its Composites division. Very soon, a high-performance double belt press will begin operation in Rottenburg-Ergenzingen. The new facility enables the efficient production of thermoplastics composite materials. The double belt press from Austrian plant manufacturer Berndorf Band Engineering can be adapted to the specific requirements at any time. Flexible combination of individual components such as heating and cooling modules, and also of a variety of press types, is possible. The modular construction permits the completion of complex work steps on a single production line. Ensinger will use the new facility to mass-produce fiber-reinforced composites in a continuous production process, at temperatures of up to 400°C. By bringing the double belt press on stream, Ensinger is expanding its range of materials for demanding, high-temperature applications. The Composites product portfolio includes – among other things – continuous fiber-reinforced semipregs and prepregs along with organosheets, i.e. multi-layer, fully impregnated and consolidated fiber composites.
