Several Effective Methods to Increase Speed and Reduce Costs in Composite Pultrusion Process

 

 

Several Ways to Reduce the Cost of Composite Material Pultrusion Process:

 

1. Reasonable Structural Design

Reasonable structural design is the basis of the process. While meeting the performance and quality requirements, it can save a lot of raw materials, which is to reduce the cost of raw materials.

 

2. Domestic Substitution of Raw Materials

In recent years, domestic raw materials have been able to meet the quality requirements of high-end products, and domestic substitution is also a trend in the current economic development.

 

3. Increase the Pultrusion Speed

In the pultrusion molding process, increasing the speed is a key method to reduce costs and improve production efficiency, and it is also the goal that pultrusion technology has been striving for for many years.

 

If we use traditional pultrusion production equipment, simply increasing the speed will lead to a contradiction between speed and quality, such as bubbles in the pultruded products, which is a common problem.

 

Therefore, if you want to increase the pultrusion speed, it is crucial to have an advanced pultrusion production equipment. Advanced equipment can dynamically balance the injection speed and traction speed, greatly improving the running speed, such as the new equipment launched by KraussMaffei China Jiaxing Factory.

 

According to KraussMaffei’s technical experts, KraussMaffei’s pultrusion equipment innovatively adopts the injection box mode to complete the injection of matrix resin and the rapid infiltration of fibers in the injection box, which can not only significantly increase the production speed, but also provide technical workers with a green, environmentally friendly and user-friendly production environment. In addition to the increase in speed and the user-friendly production environment, what are the highlights and advantages of their equipment?

 

To this end, the composites network live broadcast on August 21 invited KraussMaffei’s technical experts to give a lecture on the pultrusion process, discuss how to make the pultrusion process develop rapidly by increasing speed and reducing costs, and introduce the highlights and advantages of its pultrusion equipment.
