Hoods, covers and cladding for demanding operating conditions — light, impact-resistant and repair-friendly.
Today every part has to meet several goals at once — that is exactly where natural fiber composite comes in.
Robust, light, with good accessibility.
Impact-resistant and repair-friendly, ready to fit.
Large-area, weatherproof and dimensionally stable.
Light interior/exterior parts with function.
Functional parts incl. inserts.
Impact-resistant, light, repair-friendly.
NFRP reduces not only weight but directly the part cost — with properties comparable to GFRP.
Lower density and an optimized layup reduce material usage per part — directly cost-effective.
Semi-automated impregnation and digitally defined processes reduce manual work and manufacturing cost.
Short cycle time through the reusable vacuum hood and ready-to-fit delivery save follow-up costs.
Engine hoods, cover flaps and cladding on construction machinery have to take a lot: impact, dirt, weathering and regular opening for service. The common assumption that lightweight design must come at the expense of robustness does not apply to natural-fibre composite — the fibre is impact-resistant and less prone than glass fibre to breaking into sharp splinters.
In practice, handling often matters more than absolute weight on these parts: an engine hood opened daily in service benefits directly from every kilogram saved. Repair-friendliness is added to that — damaged areas can be repaired instead of replacing the entire part.
Concept, material, tooling, manufacturing and assembly with one partner — fewer interfaces, less risk.
Digitally recorded process parameters ensure consistent part quality — up to ~5,000 units / year.
Patented NFK Wetpreg Molding and in-house material design as a real differentiator.
One continuous path — series-ready and reproducible.
Requirements, packaging, interfaces — thought through from the first concept.
Stiffness, temperature, vibration, weather and fastening points.
Natural-fiber plies, resin system, sandwich layup, local reinforcements.
Sample parts, demonstrators, fit trials, iteration on the real part.
Prototype and series tooling, process window, trimming, quality assurance.
Gelcoat, painting, inserts, fastening points, ready-to-fit delivery.
