Manufacturing

CONNOVA has many years of experience and deep process knowledge in the production of high-performance composites. Our superbly trained experts select the efficient manufacturing method for your product.

• Filament Winding: For rotational-symmetrical components such as pipes, shafts, beams and containers.
• Prepreg autoclave process: for lightweight high-performance components
• RTM process (Resin Transfer Molding): ideal for geometrically complex     components with stringent demands on surfaces and reproducibility
• Vacuum infusion: ideal for large components with excellent material properties
• Hot press process: suitable for geometrically simple parts that are exposed to high stress, ideal for large batch sizes  
• Wet lamination: especially suitable for single components and very small batches

We meet your specific needs. Thanks to modern infrastructure and well thought-out production workflows, CONNOVA can implement even technically highly complex composite components cost-effectively.

CONNOVA has the latest infrastructure and production plant:

• separate working areas for every production stage and controlled clean rooms
• computer-controlled autoclaves and annealing furnaces
• monitored and calibrated refrigerating units
• CNC cutter with digitizing board- Heating and cooling presses
• measuring systems to record and document properties

We handle a wide variety of materials:

• carbon (CFK)
• glass fiber (GRP) and ceramic fibers
• aramide fibers: Kevlar and Twaron (AFK)
• polyethylene fibers (Dyneema)
• basalt fibers
• boron fibers
• polyester fibers (Vectran)
• duroplastic (epoxy, vinylester, phenolic resin)
• thermoplastic matrix systems (PEEK, PP)
• natural fibers
