Our products
Heat shield / sound
suppressor covers
With special purpose materials AVANCO Composites is capable to suit heat shield applications up to highest levels of thermal resistance.
More details
Our dedicated sound suppressor heat cover system ensure the safety of soldiers, prevent serious burning injuries, secure the conductive heat transfer from the sound suppressor body to prevent overheating and optimize the visibility in the field of view by suppressing the mirage effect. Since the used material does not absorb moisture and reduces heat radiation in the visual axes, the signature can be drastically optimized in combat operations. The incredible low mass of the suppressor cover is very beneficial to reduce the weight at the very tip of your weapon system.

Storage, transport and
launching tubes
Pressurized structures for several applications, such as catapults for loitering munition, missile or cruise missile launching systems, submarine systems and many more, are one of our core competencies.
More details
AVANCO Composites develops and builds products that are dedicated to our customer’s requirements. We are able to proof the strength of those systems under burst and collapse pressure by numerical and physical testing. Furthermore, we are able to integrate additional features, combine fiber reinforced structures with metal parts and machine products to your needs. In a wide variety of dimensions, sizes and materials.

Structures and trusses
Structures and trusses made from carbon fiber reinforced tubes and profiles joined with lightweight metal fittings/nodes have very beneficial properties for several defense application.
More details
Our customers are able to improve the dynamical properties by the dramatically decreased weight of these structures as well as it’s possible to improve the precision by the adjustable thermal expansion properties of those structures significantly. Users of telescope and radar arrays as well as mast systems and weapon tripods benefit from AVANCO Composites lightweight solutions and the deep knowledge in the joining technology. With more than four decades of experience, we support our customers in the engineering process to gain the maximum benefits from the highly sophisticated material properties.

Pressure vessels
Being an experienced manufacturer of FRP components, AVANCO Composites develops CFRP pressure vessels made from thermoplastic UD-tapes, which enables technical potentials for customized solutions in unconventional design.
More details
Current high-pressure storage systems are made of a thermoplastic liner, which ensures gas tightness. State of the art pressure vessels are wound with carbon-epoxy composite. Such tanks, defined as type 4 pressure vessels, are able to safely store gases at high pressure levels. Still, these tanks suffer from some limitations such as refuelling/emptying time, weight and volume, durability, robustness and recyclability. Thermoplastic pressure vessels are a promising alternative to face these challenges. The laser assisted thermoplastic tape winding process in particular offers great opportunities to increase storage efficiency, as well as reducing variation deviations in quality, due to high quality process control. The process also allows in-situ consolidation, superseding the need for curing in an oven. Discontinuous fiber reinforcement paths open up the possibilities to new designs.

Profiles
AVANCO Composites manufactures customized profiles and structures for vehicle frames and sub-frames, weapon carrier systems and chassis for specialized purpose.
More details
By utilizing thermoplastics for continuous fiber reinforced products we are not only able to machine these products to your specifications but also post-process the dimensions by a downstream thermal bending/curving process. This increases the flexibility in design and dimensions. By over molding/injection molding on the same matrix material there are endless opportunities to customize our profiles to your needs.

Primary and secondary
structures
We support our customer’s aircraft systems with primary and secondary structures as well as complete, self-supporting fuselage systems made in carbon or glass fiber reinforced plastics.
More details
Depending on the dimensions, different manufacturing processes of our solution stack are in focus. But one is in common for all solutions: we maximize lightweighting and increase the payloads of your application.

Radiation transparency
Radiation transparency/translucency is a very important material property for many defense applications.
More details
AVANCO Composites offers different technologies to manufacture such structures in very different shapes. Tubular, flat or curved structures to cover radar, radio-frequency antennas, sensors or other general sending/receiving devices are in our solution stack.
