The most common application for carbon fibre rollers, which come in both dead and live shaft varieties, is where both high strength and low weight are required. Additionally, we produce and coat carbon fibre reel spools as well as unwind and rewind shafts. Our Valcom product is our line of carbon fibre products.
Wherever lightweight and great strength are required, carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are utilised to create parts for aircraft and spacecraft, race car bodies, golf club shafts, bicycle frames, fishing rods, vehicle springs, sailboat masts, and many other items.
Polyacrylonitrile is the material used to make about 90% of the carbon fibres produced (PAN). The remaining 10% are made of petroleum pitch or rayon. These substances are all organic polymers, which have lengthy chains of molecules joined by carbon atoms.
Low density carbon fibre has a very high strength to weight ratio. As a result, carbon fibre is strong without being clogged up like steel or aluminium, making it ideal for uses like automobiles and aeroplanes.
The global carbon fiber rollers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In order to provide customers with more affordable solutions for CFRP roller applications, Pronexos has introduced a new range of wear-resistant composite coatings for rollers made of CFRP.
Although it has other uses as well, Tonex, a resin-based composite coating for rollers, was created to specifically satisfy the needs of the printing and packaging, converting, and non-woven businesses. Tonex is a registered brand.
“Tonex has several appealing features as a covering for a carbon fibre roller.” Given that Tonex is lighter and less expensive than ceramic or metal competitors, and has a very high wear resistance for its price range, it is a desirable material. Also, it is much simpler to machine.
A Tonex-coated roller can be machined by simple lathe turning. Because of its workability, rollers covered with Tonex® can readily be fixed in small areas of damage. According to Kroschner, “the typical application of Tonex® is a thin coating about 1.5mm thick.
In order to provide a perfect restoration, scratches and surface damage can be removed. With ceramic and metal coatings, you can’t do that. Any roller constructed with this coating will have its operational life significantly increased as a result.
Tonex-coated rollers made at Pronexos’ facility in Almelo, the Netherlands, are available. Over the past four years, Tonex has been created and expanded upon using Pronexos’ cutting-edge research and development resources, which include materials labs and extensive testing apparatus.
