The process involves braiding fibres around unidirectional yarns embedded in a polymer matrix, significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of the material compared to traditional manufacturing methods like pultrusion.
Dual Pull Braiding (DPB) technology is a ground-breaking advancement in composite materials manufacturing. It enables the large-scale production of profiles with exceptional mechanical performance while ensuring high manufacturing efficiency, lowering labour costs and optimising overall production expenses.
Profiles produced with DPB technology can directly replace traditional materials like steel or aluminium, expanding the applications of composite materials and accelerating their adoption in key industries such as construction, rail transport, energy distribution and generation and aeronautics.
PROPERTIES AND ADVANTAGES
High fibre content: 60%-70% by volume in both glass and carbon fibre profiles.
Lightweight, high-strength profiles with complex geometries and ultra-thin walls, which is difficult to achieve with other manufacturing techniques.
Continuous production of profiles with internal foam reinforcements (foam cores).
No length restrictions thanks to the continuous manufacturing process.
Customisable braiding angles (15º–60º) to meet specific performance requirements.
Low porosity.
Precision manufacturing with tight tolerances.
High production efficiency.
Highly stable process for outstanding profile repeatability and quality.
Lower production costs by using direct yarn fibres instead of pre-pregs or other processed materials.
