The Advanced Fiberglass UD Tape Roll Slitting Machine Solutions

In the realm of composite materials, fiberglass UD tape  have emerged as a groundbreaking innovation.

Also referred to as uni-directional tape, these tapes consist of high-strength fiberglass fibers impregnated with thermoplastic resin (PP/PA/PC/PPS/PET).

Engineered with unidirectional fibers, fiberglass UD tape possess a unique property wherein all fibers align in a single direction.

This alignment grants the tape unparalleled strength along its lengthwise axis, rendering it particularly well-suited for applications where strength and stiffness are of paramount importance.

The meticulous manufacturing process involves impregnating continuous fiberglass fibers with thermoplastic resin, followed by careful winding onto a 6-inch paper tube.

This results in a roll that is not only robust but also easy to handle and store.

The inherent advantage of having all fibers aligned in one direction empowers engineers and designers with unparalleled flexibility to reinforce specific areas of a component or structure.

By strategically placing the tape, manufacturers can optimize the material’s strength in critical load-bearing regions.

Furthermore, the utilization of thermoplastic resin during the impregnation process significantly enhances the tape’s resistance to chemicals and corrosion.

This valuable property becomes particularly beneficial in harsh environments where exposure to corrosive substances is a concern.

Beyond their strength and chemical resistance, fiberglass UD tape rolls exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance.

This crucial characteristic ensures that components can endure repetitive loading over extended periods, making them invaluable in applications where cyclic stress is a factor.

What sets these rolls apart is their designed ease of application.

They can be effortlessly cut, layered, or oriented to suit specific project requirements.

Moreover, their compatibility with various manufacturing processes, including hand layup, automated tape laying, and hydrogen tank filament winding, simplifies integration into existing production methods.

2. Narrow width prepreg slitting machine

Frame type fiberglass ud tape roll slitting machine

Our frame type slitting machine is engineered for slitting normal-width tapes with ease and efficiency.

It features a hydraulic shaftless unwinder stand, allowing for the loading of heavy CFRT-UD tape jumbo rolls.

This robust machine is ideal for applications that require wider tape widths, providing the perfect solution for clients like CIMC, who utilize it to boost their reinforced thermoplastic pipe and sandwich honeycomb business.

Narrow width prepreg slitting machine

In addition to our frame type slitting machine, we also offer a specialized narrow tape slitting machine.

The converting equipment is tailored to handle narrow-width tapes with precision, catering to widths of 3.175mm, 6.35mm, and 12.7mm.

It is specially designed for slitting thermoplastic fiberglass UD and carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK UD (CF/PEEK UD) tapes.

Our narrow tape slitting machine has garnered recognition from industry leaders like Gurit Holding, with them selecting our equipment for testing their unidirectional prepreg & fabric rolls.
