Sealing technology, filtration technology and lightweight construction
With Continuous Blow Moulding (CBM), thoenes® has developed a process for the production of fiber composite profiles with which hollow profiles based on braided preforms can be manufactured in series.
The process is characterized by near-net-shape production, paired with defined yarn placement, flexible layer structure, individual length and the option of integrating sensors. High-performance hybrid yarns combine high-strength carbon and glass fibers with impact-resistant PA6 matrix material in the base material. The damage-free hybridization of the base materials guarantees optimum force transmission in the laminate.
Whether for agricultural or printing machines, in special machine construction or in racing - thoenes® supports numerous partners with braided preforms, fiber-reinforced hollow profiles, wet-wound rollers and the development of demonstrators and prototypes. The 49 employees also produce cords, braids and hoses from over 200 high-tech materials as well as sealing and insulating cords for temperatures of up to 1200 °C and pressures of up to 300 bar. Using diagonal braiding technology, defined rectangular cords can be produced into which wires, cables or sensors can be integrated. This is primarily made possible by in-house research and development in collaboration with long-standing partners.
