MAE's history starts in the early 70s when MAE was producing machinery and parts for the major Italian man-made fibers produc ... ers. MAE progressively increased its experience starting from simple parts, expanding to more complex assemblies as entire lines and complete plants. Carbon fibers PAN precursor has now become the core business of MAE. We design and realize complete plants for PAN precursor with small production capacity (lab scale), medium capacity (pilot or small industrial scale), and large capacity (industrial scale). Our specialization covers: Polymerization Lines with different solvent technologies, Wet or Dry-jet Spinning Lines and also Key Equipment of the Carbonization Line (like Fiber Tensioning System, Surface Treatment, Sizing, Non-contact or Contact Dryers). Furthermore, some specific MAE's products like the SDC Crimpers for cotton type PET and Spunbonding Plants for 100% recycled PET, are considered today as the state-of-the-art benchmark in their field. read more
