PULTREX MACHINES

Pultrex design policy is one of uncompromising excellence, providing machinery and equipment for efficient, long-term reliable production.

Proven durability, machines used for continuous 24 hour per day, production for over thirty years.

Innovative design features introduced over the last thirty years continue to set the standards for others to follow.

FILAMENT WINDING MACHINES

Modular design concept facilitates the production of standard and special machines to suit particular requirements

Operational controls vary from simple electro-mechanical to Multi axes CNC (Computer Numerical Control).

Multi-spindle volume production machines: typically over-wound pressure vessels, eg: gas cylinders for natural gas (CNG) and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)

Pipes and tanks, particularly for infrastructure (Water, sewage and petroleum), are prominent markets for filament wound applications

PULTRUSION MACHINES

7 sizes of Standard Pultrusion machines available from 1 to 24 tonnes capacity

Profile Dies (moulds) to full tooling packages available

Profile design and prototyping

In-line bespoke ancillary processing equipment

PULLWINDING technology and machines available

25 years of in-house 24 hour production experience
