LFI-PURŪ-Process. The patented LFI (long-fibre injection) process is a cost-effective method of manufacturing light-weight, glass-fibre reinforced PUR parts
Parts produced in one work cycle and without problematic handling of glass-fibre mats.
Krauss-Maffei developed the LFI process head to cut glass-fibre strands (10-100 mm long) from a roving and deposit them in the mould drenched with the PUR components. Fibres and PUR are deposited simultaneously in the mould.
