Recap: JEC World 2026 Paris and What’s Next for FRP Rebar Tech

The curtains have closed on JEC WORLD 2026 in Paris, the composite industry’s most prestigious gathering. For Guangdong Haikuo Composite Material Co., Ltd, the event was a resounding success — our team at Booth 6R90-2 engaged with hundreds of innovators, engineers, and distributors, all searching for the next leap in pultrusion efficiency. Now that we’re back at our manufacturing base, we’re excited to share the key technical insights that dominated our conversations at the show.

The Star of the Show: Our High-Speed FRP Rebar Machine

The global shift toward sustainable, non-corrosive infrastructure was the exhibition’s central theme. Our FRP Rebar Machine (ZSXWJ5) drew significant attention for its “one-out-five” production capability and 4m/min pulling speed. But the most frequent technical question from visitors was: “Which traction system fits my specific project?”

Technical Retrospective: Caterpillar vs. Hydraulic Systems

Drawing on the technical white paper we shared during the exhibition, our engineers walked through the critical differences in drive systems to help clients optimize their facility’s ROI:

  • Caterpillar Traction (Continuous Excellence): uses dual-track clamping and frequency-controlled synchronous transmission. This is the preferred choice for mass-producing FRP rebar and thin-walled profiles, since it delivers a smooth, non-stop pull that protects the product surface.
  • Hydraulic Traction (Intermittent Power): relies on hydraulic cylinders for reciprocating motion. It provides massive explosive force for heavy-duty structural parts, though the pull is intermittent — better suited to large-scale, thick-walled components.

Matching Shapes to Machines: A Guide for 2026

One of the most valuable takeaways from JEC World 2026 was helping clients match their product shapes to the right equipment:

Product Shape / Requirement Recommended Traction System
Slender rods, fiberglass rebar, and thin pipes Caterpillar (Continuous)
High-speed, large-batch standardized profiles Caterpillar (Synchronized)
Large cross-section, heavy-duty H-beams Hydraulic (High Force)
Short, thick, irregular structural components Hydraulic (Reciprocating)
