Carbon Fiber Machine Covers

A flo-matic automated dip-tank cleaning machine was fitted with 31 carbon fiber machine covers at the goodwill center in Rockford, IL. The use of carbon fiber panels in a medium-heavy industrial application that involved heat, dust, chemicals (from the items being cleaned), continuous vibration from the JET AIR dryers and machine motion, wear and tear from continuous operation showed absolutely no adverse effects.
