In the current PRO Flexconvert Showcase 2026/27, INOMETA presents its developments in the field of high-performance roller solutions. Featured are ultra-lightweight rollers made of aluminium and CFRP, digital systems for process integration, and energy-efficient roller concepts.
These technologies are used in applications in battery manufacturing, flexographic printing, as well as film and web processing, and are continuously being further developed.
Lightweight design as a key factor for dynamic production processes
Ultra-lightweight roller solutions are a central component of modern production environments. By using aluminium and CFRP, INOMETA specifically reduces the mass inertia of rotating components.
This enables:
- faster acceleration and deceleration processes
- reduced mechanical loads
- stable processes at high speeds
Especially when processing sensitive materials – such as electrode foils or in flexographic printing – these properties make a significant contribution to process stability and product quality.

Digital integration and energy-efficient roller systems
The integration of digital technologies is another central element of the presented solutions. With INOid®, rollers are directly integrated into digital processes and receive a unique identity. Product and maintenance data are available at any time and enable more efficient system control as well as predictive maintenance.
This concept is complemented by energy-efficient solutions such as INOheat®. The electrically heated roller generates heat directly within the system and ensures uniform temperature distribution with reduced energy input. This helps to sustainably lower both operating costs and CO₂ emissions.
Smart Factory as a basis for scalable production
The implementation of these technologies takes place in a modern production environment. In the Smart Factory, automated processes, robotics, and precise CNC technology enable efficient manufacturing – from development to series production.
This combination of manufacturing expertise, lightweight know-how, and digital integration underlines INOMETA’s role as a development partner for industries where precision and process stability are critical.

Sustainability as an integral part of development
Sustainability aspects are an integral part of technological development. Lightweight design reduces mass inertia and dynamic loads, thereby contributing to a reduction in overall system energy demand.
This shows that sustainability at INOMETA starts in the design phase and is consistently integrated into the development of new technologies.
