Carbon has special requirements in mechanical engineering because the material is both abrasive and electrically conductive. MEYER develops specially adapted technologies for this purpose that enable safe and efficient processing.

Key solutions include innovative powder dispensers combined with high-performance infrared heating elements. This combination results in standalone machines that reliably support precise processes such as laminating and powder application.

Applications range from tempering and sintering UD/MD fabrics to coating UD tapes and thermal consolidation. In addition, the machines enable the bonding of individual UD tapes into large-area sheets, as well as the production of UD and MD tapes with different grain orientations.

Possible applications

• Tempering and sintering of UD/MD layers
• Coating of UD tapes
• Thermoconsolidation of UD/MD layers
• Joining individual UD tapes to form large-area layers
• Creating UD/MD tapes in different effective direction

Questions & Answers

Why is carbon so difficult to work with?
Carbon is abrasive and electrically conductive, which places heavy demands on conventional machinery. Therefore, specialized, robust solutions are necessary to reduce wear and ensure safe, long-term production.
What carbon processing technologies does MEYER offer?
MEYER combines precision powder scatterers with powerful infrared heating elements. This results in standalone machines that create ideal conditions for processes such as lamination, powder scattering, tempering, and sintering.
For which applications are MEYER systems particularly well-suited?
The systems are suitable for coating and thermal consolidation of UD/MD fabrics, joining individual UD tapes into larger sheets, and manufacturing UD and MD tapes in various grain directions.
