The KraussMaffei Group Holds the Competence Forum

The KraussMaffei Group welcomes visitors in Munich on June 6 and 7, 2018 to give them a glimpse of the latest technologies and innovations from the KraussMaffei, KraussMaffei Berstorff and Netstal brands that make the company a leader in mechanical engineering. Technological highlights from pipe and profile extrusion-- KraussMaffei Berstorff is concentrating on intelligent solutions in fiber composite technology, as well as manufacturing pipes with engineering polymers. This allows visitors to witness a plastic pipe being wrapped on the TCP (Thermoplastic Composite Pipe) with fiberglass-reinforced UD tapes (on an identical polymer matrix) system in live operation. "By offering this pilot system, we hope to provide our customers with a long-term service that is the only one of its kind worldwide: manufacturing fiber-composite pipes according to custom application requirements for pre-classification," explains Matt Sieverding, President of Extrusion Technology for the KraussMaffei Group. The fiber-reinforced pipes are not subject to corrosion wear and are extremely suitable for high-pressure applications in the oil and gas industry in particular; depending on the model, they can also be designed for chemical and/or temperature-resistant applications. The newly developed KM-3L RKW 250 F³ multi-layer pipe head - integrated into a complete pipeline - offers a spectacular demonstration of the manufacturing process for three-layer pipes with a functional polyamide inner layer.
