Composites - Lightweight production solutions from a single source.

Composites in series production FRIMO is your technology partner for the future The days in which composites were the exclusive preserve of the aerospace or motor racing industries are long gone. The trend towards electric mobility and lightweight construction will accelerate the deployment of CFRP components in the automotive industry. These high-quality composite materials are also playing an increasingly important role in rail transport, agricultural machinery, the sports and leisure industry and renewable energies. The properties of these modern materials can be “customized” through the...

Thermoplastic composites – Manufacturing solutions for mass production For the processing of thermoplastic composites FRIMO offers innovative tooling and equipment for a wide range of different applications. Our customers can rely on solutions that are tailored to their needs and take into account the special requirements of the relevant industry. The FRIMO service portfolio includes: Tooling technology for complex structural components interlinking (automated or partially automated) by punching, flexible trimming, joining or assembly Process Safety data acquisition More than 2,000 tools...

Thermosetting composites Structural components in the RTM process A wide range of structural components is manufactured by use of RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) processes. This means that fiber fabrics or preforms are inserted into the tool and the reactive matrix material is injected into the closed mold. FRIMO offers everything from the appropriate tailor-made tooling and equipment right through to complete production solutions for the use of the widest range of different epoxy- or polyurethane-based matrix materials. New approaches and solutions for the series-production manufacture of...

Thermosetting composites Structural components in the RTM process Monocoques in the RTM process For the world's first series-production RTM monocoque FRIMO provided the complete tooling and equipment. A monocoque is a self-supporting passenger cell, i.e. the carrying structure of the vehicle is a shell. The unique structure of the outer skin of this shell absorbs all the external forces acting on it. All the other elements of the vehicle are mounted on this structure. For a current supercar the carbonfiber monocoque is not, as was previously widely the case, made of carbon fiber prepregs...

Natural fibers - Versatile manufacturing solutions for a versatile material The FRIMO Group is a specialist in technology for lightweight construction solutions and natural fiber processing and has already demonstrated its expertise in the field of NFPP manufacturing and processes in a large number of completed reference projects. These include complete production units for the pressing of different natural-fiber carrier components. The combination of various technologies and the integration of different process steps play a significant role when developing and designing innovative and...

FRIMO - For the right mix and a perfect final result FRIMO PURe Mix - The right mix makes the difference Along with its production facilities for lightweight components, FRIMO can deliver the matching mixing and metering equipment. Here, too, FRIMO is breaking completely new ground by manufacturing all PURe Mix mixing and metering machines from an absolutely standardized construction kit. From this it is possible to configure any machine, ranging in technology from the very simplest to the most elaborate. Mounted on a base frame and equipped with an electronic control unit, the machines can...
