With the MAX GLASS ECO, KARL MAYER offers a production machine for the manufacture of standard items made from glass fibres, in particular fabrics for the wind power industry. The machine can be adapted to the requirements of different application areas using optional functions and combines short amortisation times with high efficiency. At a maximum speed of 1,800 rpm, up to 410 m/h can be produced at a working width of 101’. Since the launch of the MAX GLASS ECO at JEC World in March this year, several machines have already been sold.
Some machines are going to India and a larger number have been ordered by Chinese customers. The demonstration models in the KARL MAYER GROUP customer centres in Changzhou and Chemnitz have also already been sold. The MAX GLASS ECO at KARL MAYER in Saxony can still be used for processing trials and performance tests until September.
There is also great interest in Eastern Europe. At Techtextil 2024 in Frankfurt am Main, for example, the new composite machine was the subject of numerous meetings with Ralf Schramm, Sales Manager at KARL MAYER Technical Textiles for this region. ‘I held many orientation discussions about the machine’s performance. But there were also customers with specific purchase requests, including the Polish manufacturer of high-quality, professional solutions for the composites industry, Rymatex,’ says the sales professional.
Beth Dufresne from Owens Corning’s Glass Reinforcements Business sums up what convinces customers of the MAX GLASS ECO: ‘KARL MAYER has combined many proven solutions from its multiaxial machine range and thus their advantages in the MAX GLASS ECO.’ Owens Corning is one of KARL MAYER’s first customers in the multiaxial sector. Beth Dufresne has been working with machines from the innovative partner to the composites industry for many years and was particularly impressed by the best-of-all concept.
