  • High dynamic loads during spin-drying
  • Resistance to thermal and chemical stress, under temperatures up to 95°C

We offer customers technical support with the aid of CAD studies and simulation software. This helps to ensure that designs are engineered with the necessary stability and moldability for washing and drying machines, with the goal of achieving good cost/performance balance throughout the supply chain.
