Prof Dr Lutz Engisch reviews benefits of carbon fibre components in the paper industry
The benefits of carbon fibre components being used in the printing, paper making and related industries have been reviewed in an academic study. Professor Dr Lutz Engisch from the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences presented the results of his research at the recent ERA Packaging & Decorative Conference in Turin. “There is an increasing
trend for using carbon fibre for components such as print cylinder sleeves for easier handling and idler rollers as

they can reach higher rotational speeds than metal rollers for a given diameter,” the study concludes. “This is particularly important
when wide web widths are used such as in paper making and polymer film manufacturing.” While the performance benefits of carbon-fibre components
have been established in the aviation and automotive industries, their use in the printing industry for rollers and cylinders has so far not been well documented, despite the fact that they are being used. Carbon fibre combines strength with low weight making it an ideal material for parts where weight is a critical factor. Copies of the study, in English and German, are available from Dutch-based carbon fibre product manufacturer Pronexos at
