For the first time, IPCO US (Totowa, N.J., U.S.) is presenting a new precision scattering system specifically designed to process recycled materials from wind turbine blades, glass fiber, carbon fiber, various composites production trim waste and many other reclaimed/recycled material streams.
Combined with the company’s ThermoPress double-belt press, the company says its system provides composites manufacturers with a process solution for the design and production of circular thermoplastic and thermoset panel products.
ScatterPro is IPCO’s highly extensive range of scattering machines. Including oscillating and rotating brush-off systems, they are are designed for versatile powder scattering and precision scattering solutions across various materials: powder, granules, fibers, chips, flakes and other flowable bulk materials.
Moreover, its portfolio of double-belt press systems feature a modular design — modular pressure. This approach means that users can combine different types of processes into one continuous production, such as incorporating controlled polymerization, curing, tempering/annealing and cooling. Moreover, the systems’ horizontal process sequence, which eliminates product deflection, avoids material tensions.
IPCO highlights the following for its double-belt presses:
- Flexibility in processing different kind of materials and/or products on the same machinery system;
- Improved control of individual process parameters;
- Efficiency and versatility via its continuous process;
- Consistent quality;
- Enables a high degree of automation;
- Offers a high-capacity system design;
- Features steel belts from IPCO’s in-house production;
- Remote control service is available;
- U.S.-based technical and aftermarket service.
IPCO representatives are available to discuss product specifications and production requirements.
