Romeo RIM Installs World’s Largest Long-fiber-injection Molding Machine

Continuing its commitment to commercializing innovative composite technologies, Romeo RIM Inc. has installed the largest long fiber injection (LFI) press in the world, with the capability to produce very large parts measuring up to a record-breaking 121 square feet.

The new press and LFI line was recently unveiled during an event at Romeo RIM’s facility, located north of Detroit. The new machine is a 400 ton, 12’ x 12’ double shuttle press. As a fully automated system, it will ensure the consistency in production of all components. It is also noteworthy that it is the only piece of equipment in North America that will robotically in-mold paint parts.

“Romeo RIM sees this as an opportunity to help our customers take their products to the next level by capitalizing on the many advantages of creating parts with the LFI process,” said Paul Condeelis, vice president of Business Development, Romeo RIM Inc.
