C. A. Litzler Co. Inc. (Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.) highlights its improved, standard thermoplastic prepreg machines. The systems are available for use with water-based resins, various fibers and can produce prepreg at various widths.

Features of the system include:

Fiber saturation and impregnation
- Stainless steel, recirculating slurry dip tanks using CFD modeling
- Mixing and distribution manifolds
- Submerged rollers to encourage wetting
Water/solvent removal and resin pre-heating
- Infrared ovens are used because they do not disturb the resin distribution
Heated die
- Precision machined to maintain/improve resin distribution
- Uniform temperature distribution across and along the web for uniform penetration and wetting
Servo-driven compaction rolls for improved surface finish
Litzler Automation control systems and graphical interface are reliable and easy to use.

C.A. Litzler also offers experience in dryer technology, superior compaction rolls and tow spreading experience.
