Accelerating the production of sustainable building materials
Sustainable building materials
Double belt presses and precision scattering systems for industrial scale composites manufacturing
The demand for robust green building technologies and recycled building materials is growing at speed. IPCO is already supporting leading players in this field with machinery that accelerates production of lightweight composite building materials at industrial scale, with no compromise on quality.
How IPCO double belt presses support composite manufacturing companies in the green building sector
Driving efficiency with a single production line
IPCO’s modular ThermoPress double belt presses offer total control of pressure and temperature, allowing bespoke manufacturing on steel belts, PTFE belts, or a combination of both. Scattering systems can also be built into the same production line – resulting in a highly efficient end-to-end solution for advanced composites manufacturing.
Minimizing downtime, maximizing durability
IPCO developed the world’s first continually operating double belt press – setting the standard for the industry – and our products offer excellent wear and corrosion resistance. This helps ensure that downtime is minimized and clients benefit from steel bands with a working life typically over a decade.
Increasing the use of recycled materials
As the demand for environmentally sustainable building materials continues to grow, manufacturers are focusing on using natural raw materials and recycled ones. We work closely with innovative manufacturers to optimize our steel belts to produce lightweight composite construction materials from these sources.
Meeting green building standards
The use of innovative sustainable building materials produced on ThermoPress double belt press solutions can help construction companies meet the increasingly demanding standards for green homes and workspaces. They offer benefits across the lifecycle: thermoplastics are 100% recyclable.
Providing rapid global support
With service technicians and technical experts in 25 countries worldwide, IPCO clients benefit from ongoing operational support and rapid responses to any issues. We also offer preventative maintenance including site inspections. When repairs are needed, we have specialist equipment and patented tools on-hand to fix things fast.
