Lightweight components for agricultural machinery.

Front skirts, hoods and cladding — robust, weather-resistant components with reduced weight and efficient manufacturing.

Challenge

What really counts in Agricultural Machinery parts.

Today every part has to meet several goals at once — that is exactly where natural fiber composite comes in.

Components & applications

What we manufacture for Agricultural Machinery.

Front skirts

Large visible parts — light and made with an optimized cut.

Engine hoods

Light, impact-resistant, with a defined surface.

Side cladding

Weatherproof and dimensionally stable.

Covers & flaps

Functional parts incl. fastening.

Cabin parts

Light interior and exterior components.

Robust cladding, efficiently manufactured.

Benefit

Lighter — and more economical.

NFRP reduces not only weight but directly the part cost — with properties comparable to GFRP.

Why NFRP lowers the part cost

Less weight = less material

Lower density and an optimized layup reduce material usage per part — directly cost-effective.

High automation

Semi-automated impregnation and digitally defined processes reduce manual work and manufacturing cost.

Manufacturing efficiency

Short cycle time through the reusable vacuum hood and ready-to-fit delivery save follow-up costs.

Proof & trust

Already built — with measurable results.

  • Optimized cutting patterns & patches (Fibryx algorithm)
  • Semi-automated impregnation via conveyor
  • Reproducible, high quality at shorter process time

From a single source

Concept, material, tooling, manufacturing and assembly with one partner — fewer interfaces, less risk.

Reproducible series

Digitally recorded process parameters ensure consistent part quality — up to ~5,000 units / year.

Our own technology

Patented NFK Wetpreg Molding and in-house material design as a real differentiator.

How we work

From the part concept to the ready-to-fit series.

One continuous path — series-ready and reproducible.

01

Part concept & package

Requirements, packaging, interfaces — thought through from the first concept.

02

Load cases & engineering

Stiffness, temperature, vibration, weather and fastening points.

03

Material & layup

Natural-fiber plies, resin system, sandwich layup, local reinforcements.

04

Prototypes & sampling

Sample parts, demonstrators, fit trials, iteration on the real part.

05

Tooling & manufacturing

Prototype and series tooling, process window, trimming, quality assurance.

06

Finish & assembly

Gelcoat, painting, inserts, fastening points, ready-to-fit delivery.

The easy entry point

Start with an NFRP concept study.

You don't have to commit right away: send us an existing GFRP part, a drawing or an idea. We assess the potential — and you see whether the path is worth it.

  • Potential assessment: weight, cost and properties
  • Direct comparison NFRP vs. your current GFRP part
  • A concrete assessment on the real part — no theory
  • A clear recommendation for the next steps
