Siempelkamp’s Composites Division wins order for an integrated 250 t-press system for the production of fibre-reinforced components

Krefeld, 31 January 2019 – Within a public tender procedure Siempelkamp was able to convince a new customer from Poland both technically and economically of the advantages of its overall plant concept winning another order in this market.

Siempelkamp lives up again to its statement of being a systems supplier: In addition to a press the scope of delivery and services includes a test tool, a tool changing system, a heating and cooling system as well as a material shuttle with an integrated infrared heating field. This integrated plant is able to produce duroplastic and thermoplastic components thereby providing the customer with sufficient flexibility, as is requested, to continue its development of innovative materials and manufacturing processes.

The list of highlights includes, amongst others, a press that incorporates a multiple tool-changing store as well as a technical periphery that has been integrated into the control system, enabling a targeted control of the different kinds of consolidation and pressing processes.

Plant layout and material flow have been designed to allow for a plant expansion with another press system, which the two companies have already agreed upon within the next stage of expansion.

When it comes to larger, long-term investments by young and growth-oriented companies, innovative and at the same time competent and reliable project partners are wanted in a dynamic market environment. “In this case, too, we have been able to convince a new customer of our expertise reflected by our motto, ‘Innovation is our tradition’” as Carsten Daub, Head of the Composites Division puts it.
