The Berndorf Band Group developed a modular double belt press, which ensures a flexible and cost-efficient production of various thermoplastic composites. Due to the modular design, the machine can be enlarged, reduced or reoriented at any time. Depending on raw materials and the desired product features, four different modules (roller carpet module, fixed roller module, sliding plate module and calender module) can be arranged as demanded. This allows a fully customized machine design with any number of scale from lab trials up to mass production of composites.
