A CHOPPED STRAND MAT
(CSM) Line produces Fiberglass MAT, which is one of
the most popular forms of reinforcement for non-structural applications.
The Chopped Strand Mat is a non-woven mat consisting of glass fibers laid randomly across each other and held together by a binder (emulsion or powder).
The “starting point” of the Fibermech's CSM Line
is the creel area, where the fiberglass cakes are located on the steel frames.
The strands are pulled and cut by the choppers and distributed
in the forming chamber over a chain belt.
Next, the MAT is transferred by a motorized chain belt from the forming
to the bonding section where powder or emulsion binder is applied.
From the bonding section the product is transferred to the Drying and Polymerization section.
Finally, the product coming out from the oven reaches the End Line.
The End line of the CSM Line is equipped with:
The start up and the
commissioning phases are always performed by senior level and experienced “fiberglass guys”.
According to customer requests, Fibermech is able to design the packaging line to be
installed after the winding machine. After the winding phase, the finished rolls get unloaded on the
packaging line, where they are weighted, labelled and packed.
