Large Industrial CE Composite Carbon Fiber Autoclave φ 1.6MX6M For Carbon Fiber

1. Brief Introduction

The autoclave is a key equipment for hot-pressing shaping of carbon fibers and resin matrix composites ( polyimide, bismaleimide, epoxy resin and thermoplastic resin matrices, etc. ), In fact, the quality of the product is obtained inside the autoclave reaching an increase of mechanical features up to 20-30% compared to other methods of polymerization, which do not foresee the outside pressurization of the product.

The reliability and the precision of the cycles which can be obtained with our autoclave, allow to reach and keep high quality standards of the product, which is widely used in the high-tech fields such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, weapon, traffic, sports equipments and new type of energy, etc.

In the last ten years we have seen the evolution of new materials, with excellent mechanical and physical features. The mechanical resistance, together with the lightness of composite materials, are finding more and more applications. We call composite material the product obtained from the polymerization of carbon fibers and resins, adequately prepared and shaped overlapping coats of fibers and resin on moulds or cores.

3. General feature and working process of the autoclave

3-1. General feature

Our Autoclave is a sealed pressure vessel which can be heated by a forced convection heating unit, where temperature, pressure and vacuum can be controlled effectively. By means of an advanced design, consisting of a forced convection fun and motor unit, output heating power system can be adjusted 0-100%,proportional control of the pressurization, cooling and exhaust components. It can obtain an uniform temperature and pressure according to the process curve. Temperature is check in heating, keeping, and cooling phase. The heating/cooling gradients can be set by operator. Pressure is adjusted in pressurization, keeping, release phase.

3-2. Working process

The whole working process of our Autoclave has 17(or more) segments .In each segment, the value of temperature, pressure, vacuum and segment time can be set and monitored by HIM and PC, and the operation process will be realized by our exclusively developed software which is based on PLC control system to ensure the full automatic operation. our Autoclave is suitable for manufacturing various composite materials, and it also can guarantee the perfect product quality.

4. Packing

4-1. The equipment will be properly packed / wrapped considering long-distance ocean and land transportation and rough handling that may happen in the absence of both parties.
