Process technology
Three different process technologies possible:
1) Tape and resin production and lamination / impregnation in two different processes.
2) Combination of resin application and lamination / impregnation in one production
line with two coating systems for top and bottom resin layer.
3) Direct coating / impregnation with water based and solvent based matrix materials.

Winding technology
Tension adjustment from unwinding to rewinding process
Winding technology
Unwinds and rewinds developed and produced by the KROENERT Group for all coating
and laminating lines.
Also may be integrated into machines of other suppliers.
Range of winders encompasses not only standard requirements, but also winders for
individual requirements, e.g reduction of wastage or handling of delicate materials.
Winding technology
unwind (with shaft and edge control) turret unwind
Coating technology
Coating stations are performance centers of a coating line.
KROENERT covers all coating methods available.
