Custom calendering for unique materials
Not every calendering application fits a standard category. IMC has built calender machines for a wide range of specialty materials — from ceramic green tapes to composite prepregs to experimental materials in university research labs. The common thread is that each application required a machine specifically engineered for the material's unique properties and the customer's specific process requirements.
If your application involves compressing, densifying, finishing, or bonding a material between precision rolls, IMC's engineering team has likely solved a similar challenge. Where the application is genuinely new, the breadth of our calendering experience across materials, forces, temperatures, and configurations gives us the foundation to engineer a solution.
Our in-house laboratory in Birmingham is available for calendering trials with your materials. Establish process parameters, evaluate results, and generate the data needed to specify a production system with confidence.
