Pultrusion Machinery / Secondary Operation Machinery for Pultrusion
Secondary Operation Machinery for Pultrusion
Saws, winches, winders, and CFM slitters built to work in sync with your pultrusion line, from setup through final cut.
Secondary Operations
Kent Pultrusion secondary operation machinery supports the steps around the pultruder, from material preparation and line setup to cutting and winding. Equipment can be supplied with a turnkey line, added to an existing line, or run off-line.
Custom Solutions for Pultrusion and Other Composite Manufacturing Processes
-
Fiber Roll Slitters
Servo-controlled slitters cut continuous filament mat (CFM) to the precise widths used to shape and reinforce pultruded profiles. Multiple mandrels, an expanding chuck, and an HMI touchscreen for setting widths, feed, and RPM allow the slitter to run unattended once loaded. -
Saw Systems
Up-cut, cross-cut, and down-cut saws are available in single, dual, and quad lane configurations for turnkey lines, existing lines, or off-line use. Options include powered exit conveyors, dump systems, pneumatic pusher off-loading, and dust collection at the point of generation. -
Winders
Custom spool winders at the end of the line and helical winders at the front automatically wind raw or finished material in-line with production. Applications include carbon fiber spar caps, conductor cores, and pull-winding for added structural properties. -
Winch Systems
Winches pull raw fibers through the die and pullers at startup, reducing or eliminating manual threading. Installed downstream with a small footprint, they retract out of the product stream once the line is running and are available with servo, hydraulic, or pneumatic drives. -
Custom Fabrication and Automation Machinery
Together with our sister division, Kent Automation, we develop custom solutions for routing, drilling, chamfering, off-line sawing, material handling, robotics, vision inspection, and assembly. This automation increases throughput and consistency, reduces labor, and improves safety in high-volume production.
