modern, and capable of solving all tasks.
At Scanfiber we have state-of-the-art technology at our
disposal. For instance we have invested in a customized
4000 tons high pressure press, which is the core of our
production equipment. The pressing capacity enables
Scanfiber to produce sophisticated fibre composites of
e.g. polyethylene and rubberized aramid, which requires
an exact control of the production process.
The production equipment also includes a special 5-axis
water jet cutting machine with cutting angles up to 45°.
This machine adds an extra dimension to production 5 axis water jet machine, able to cut at a 45 degrees angle
For solutions at a higher level of threats, a combination of
technical ceramics and/or ballistic steel and fibre compos-
ites are used. To ensure optimum performance between
the materials, these are glued together under vacuum.
Scanfiber flexibility is emphasized by the fact that we
keep a large stock of raw materials and have a dedicated
staff, who know the importance of a quick response time
without compromising on top quality.

State-of-the-art Materials
Scanfiber advanced fibre composites are made
of high strength fibres and thermoplastics
(matrix), which - via a heat pressing process -
are transformed into an extremely strong and
light weight ballistic protection against projectiles
and fragments.
Large freezing facilities for storage of special fibre materials
Since our products are given only one chance to prove
their worth and have been developed to protect and save
lives, we have brought extra focus into maintaining and
increasing the quality level of our products. This is why we
only use the very best materials available on the market.

We are in control of top quality
In a trade where confidence is an essential factor,
Scanfiber never compromises on quality.
Scanfiber very carefully carries out continuous control
of all materials used in the production. The production
process is subject to an on-going evaluation with the aim
of optimizing both the ballistic products and processes.
Finally, prior to the ballistic products being approved and
cleared to leave the company, Scanfiber performs a very
strict end control of the products.
All our ballistic solutions are tested and certified accord-
ing to international standards by independent test
institutes - the most highly recognized test institutes
in Europe.
Scanfiber is certified according to ISO 9001 by Bureau
Veritas Certification.

because the weight factor – by means of these
kinds of transportation - is of paramount impor-
tance.
With Scanfibers ballistic protection solutions it is possible Light weight armouring of patrol boats
to upgrade ships and helicopters to high levels of
protection by installing only a minimum of extra weight
and thereby maintain the load-carrying capacity, opera-
tional radius, etc.
