Jota High-Performance Double belt press for CFRT UD tape Panels

CFRT (continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite) is a composite material of high rigidity, strength, and toughness, commonly used in military, automobiles, aerospace, interiors, and electronics.

The reinforcement material is the continuous fiber, including glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, plant fiber, and basalt fiber. It is made of unidirectional tape (UD) through repetitive hot and cold pressing. CFRT panels have excellent inter-layer performance and high impact resistance.

Although long and short fibers prioritize the thermoplastic composite market, CFRT has increased in recent worldwide business. Industry magnates swear by CFRT composites.

With increasing customer demands around corrosion and mildew resistance, easy sanitation, and short molding cycles, the Jota JT CFRT UD belt press will be all you need!

Jota has developed a modular double belt press, ensuring a flexible and cost-efficient production of CFRT composites.

We have extensive experience manufacturing steel belts for industrial processes and have developed a double belt press system to cater to your CFRT production needs.

We boast in high-quality technical development, production, operation, and maintenance personnel, specializing in developing high-quality and low-cost Double Belt Press for CFRT UD Tape Panels.

Machinery for continuous laminating process CFRT panels adopts the latest technology of Jota, which can realize continuous molding of thermoplastic composite materials.

The Jota JT CFRT UD high-performance double belt press has the unique ability to produce rigid but lightweight panels within a cost-efficient, integrated high-volume production process. It has been embraced by several companies worldwide.

Our double belt presses system is customized according to your product width, from 1000mm to 3500mm. Whichever the width of the product you want to laminate, we guarantee we can provide the technical solution.

The Jota Modular double belt steel press.

Jota has always strived to provide optimum belts for any industrial process. We make our belts from high-strength stainless steel, following special procedures. Precision taken during production and assembly of the belts offers a long service life and, effectively, the efficiency of the double belt press.

Our steel belts have a wear-resistant chrome surface to ensure extended service life. The surfaces are either industrially polished or finished in a high-gloss mirror effect.

Jota steel belts can endure the most, from process pressures of up to 80 bars, repeated heating temperatures of 400 °C and cooling down, to alternating stresses. You can rely on our steel belts.

Our double steel belt press is suitable for plastics, CFRT panels, laminated films, and flexible circuit boards.

The plate forming system with temperature control is suitable for engineered stone or artificial marble.

The film flow extension system is best suited for producing ceramic, membrane, and process films.

The double belt press modular system allows the combination of any number of modules and components. This excellent versatility allows for executing several work steps on a single production line at a time.

The system can be enlarged or reduced to suit production needs to enable independent use and realize various production processes. Various modules allow our machines to adapt to specific requirements.
The main principle realizes the steel belt under continuous operation, placing pressure on the stacked films while heating and cooling then molding. You obtain a material with uniform thickness and stable quality.

Double Belt Presses are ideal for the continuous production of foil and board material in single passes. Two endless steel belts are guided through the inlet and outlet around steel drums.

Between them are pressure plates known as the reaction zone. Here, temperature and pressure are applied to the materials being fed through. Heating elements are installed in the plates for a highly efficient heat transfer. Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite (CFRT) is pressed in excellent quality with Jota Double Belt Presses.

The Jota CFRT UD belt press has the following to meet your process tasks: high thermal efficiency sliding plate modules, thickness calibration fixed roller modules, high-pressure roller carpet modules, and heavy-duty calendar modules, which are available in heating or cooling execution modes.

An advantage of the modular double belt press is that it allows for a flexible exchange of modules without removing the belt. This distinctive feature makes it possible to adapt the processes to the product requirements by quickly changing the modules. The modular design also allows the installation of additional elements, boosting production capacity significantly. Jota meets the ever-increasing demands of heating and cooling zones and large widths by employing large-sized drivers.

As our customer, you benefit from Jota’s Research & Development Center, where various modules are available to test your products for better process efficiency or to allow you to develop new products.

Our experts are delighted to work with you on your subsequent innovative developments!
