Mikrosam, a company based in Macedonia, has successfully delivered a high-performance filament winding system to Epsilon Composite in Turkey. The system is designed for winding mandrels with towpreg material and is equipped with features such as a filament winding machine, impregnation resin bath system, electronic fiber creel and tension system, and winding expert software. The system is capable of winding mandrels with diameters up to 700mm and lengths up to 2,950mm.
The system will help Epsilon Composite advance its production of composite tank storage systems, specifically for high-performance applications such as hydrogen storage for modern and heavy-duty vehicles. The system’s high-speed operation, customizable design, and quality control system make it ideal for Epsilon’s research and development initiatives.
The partnership between Mikrosam and Epsilon Composite aims to revolutionize the production of hydrogen storage tanks and aerostructure components, improving efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. The system is designed to integrate with Epsilon’s existing K1 technology to produce large-diameter composite parts with optimal stiffness.
