Cost cuts, less wastage and reduced manufacturing times – with Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) a lot of challenges can be overcome and the use of carbon can be increased. The innovative carbon composite manufacturing technique offers new possibilities for improved component design, and enhancing end of life recyclability. TFP arranges the functional fibres in bundles exactly where they are most needed for structural performance. Moreover, it stitches them into position on a compatible base layer. This procedure replaces unlike the conventional approach of weaving the fibres of a composite into a perpendicular arrangement then cutting the fabric to the required shape.

The GRANOMAT JP disk mill is designed for the ultrafine grinding of numerous products. It is also described as a ‘dissolving machine’ and can be used for both wet and dry milling. The most varied of products can be produced, depending on the type of disk employed. To achieve this the product is drawn through the grinding disk by centrifugal forces, whereby the static grinding disk is attached to the lid (stator) and the rapidly rotating disk is located below in the grinding housing.

Compact cameras from the TarisIR® mini series with a detector format of (640 × 480) IR pixels are designed for universal use.  They are characterised by their very compact design, low weight and modern interfaces. Using the supplied software development kit (SDK) and other accessories, flexible integration into existing - even harsh - system environments is possible without any problems. These compact cameras are ideal for use as OEM modules in both machines and process monitoring systems. Combined with the IRBIS® software developed by InfraTec, they can also be used as PC-supported camera systems in the measurement setup of a laboratory. The compact cameras are suitable for a wide range of measuring, testing and monitoring tasks in almost all areas of industry and science, such as the plastics industry, additive manufacturing or electronics.
 

This table-top testing machine is equally ideal for research and development as for routine quality assurance testing. It is designed for quasi-static loading with increasing, pulsating or cyclic tests through an electro-mechanical drive system. Furthermore, it is designed for tensile, compression, and flexure tests for applications with low loads. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for production monitoring, goods inwards checks, for demonstration or teaching purposes in schools and for reliable quality assurance testing.

The pyrolysis pilot plant is designed for the thermal decomposition of materials in the absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis is a process where organic material, like biomass or waste, is heated to high temperatures (typically between 300°C and 600°C) in an oxygen-free environment, causing it to break down into various products such as bio-oil, gas, and char. This technology is used for converting waste into valuable energy and chemical products

This extruders can be used to develop manufacturing processes for transformation of raw materials into products with consistent shapes and dimensions. The process involves feeding material (often in granular or pellet form) into a heated barrel where it's compressed and melted by a rotating screw. The molten material is then forced through a die that shapes it into the desired profile before cooling and solidifying. This extruder is designed to function in a research and development context and enables the test of 24 h production of samples batches.

A biorefinery is an integrated facility that transforms biomass into a spectrum of valuable products like fuels, chemicals, and materials. Similar to petroleum refineries, biorefineries process renewable biological feedstocks such as agricultural residues, wood, and algae through various conversion technologies. The biorefinery concept aims to maximize resource efficiency by creating multiple value streams from biomass while minimizing waste and environmental impact. Biorefineries play a critical role in transitioning toward a more sustainable, bio-based economy by reducing dependence on fossil resources. The technology combines various processes including mechanical, thermal, chemical, and biochemical conversion methods to extract maximum value from biomass resources.
