Carbon Fiber Industrial Composite Autoclave

The Main Components Of Carbon Fiber Industrial Composite Autoclave

Carbon fiber autoclave equipment includes cylinder body parts, vacuumsystems, heating systems, pressurization systems, insulation systems, control systems, instrument monitoring parts, etc.

• The cylinder body parts: The cylinder body parts includes saddle bracket, tank doors, bent arms and brackets, docking flanges, and the straight cylinder part of the cylinder part.

• Heating system: The heating system uses a stainless steel electric heating tube with a specific power to heat the air inside the tank. There is a circulating fan at the rear of the tank, which blows the hot air inside the tank to evenly spread the heat.

• The pressurization system: The pressurization system uses high-pressure air for pressurization. Pre store a certain pressure of compressed air through a rated power air compressor and air storage tank. When in use, open the intake valve to supplement the pressure inside the autoclave.

• Insulation system: There are two types of insulation systems: external insulation and internal insulation. External insulation involves applying an insulation layer on the outer side of the pipe wall, while internal insulation involves building an insulation layer on the inner wall of the tank. These two insulation methods each have their own characteristics, and suitable insulation types can be selected according to different processing techniques. The insulation layer can reduce energy consumption and improve the efficiency of the composite autoclave

• Control system: Carbon fiber autoclave generally use a fully automatic PLC computer control system, which can monitor the temperature and pressure inside the tank in real time. The control system has a data export function, which can query historical working curves and generate reports. The control systemrequires high precision in controlling the temperature rise and fall rate, pressure rise and fall rate, and time point inside the tank. It generally has a relatively precise control range for temperature, pressure, and time.

• Loading trolley: Composite material prefabricated products need to be placed on the loading trolley inside the tank first, and then pushed into the tank through the trolley outside the tank. Both the loading trolley inside the tank and the trolley outside the tank are equipped with movable pulleys, which can facilitate and save effort in moving positions. After completing the work, drag the loading truck inside the tank onto the cart outside the tank, and use the cart to push the finished composite material products to the next working position.

Typical Autoclave Applications of Carbon Fiber Industrial Composite Autoclave

Carbon fiber autoclave applications include aerospace structural products, medical tabletsaops and accessories, many ballistic / armor products, and high-performance structural components requiring high fiber fractions and high consolidation of materials. Since several different parts are processed simultaneously, autoclave processing can be used for cost-effective prototyping.

Operation Process Of Carbon Fiber Industrial Composite Autoclave

Step 1: Preparation process.

• This mainly includes the preparation of tools and materials, including the preparation of main materials and auxiliary materials, quantity, validity period, and respective usage conditions.

Step 2: Material paving process

• Cutting. Cut the main raw materials according to the design requirements in different sizes and layers, and use graphic analysis software to cut the prepreg into corresponding sizes.

• Layering. Including manual layering, automatic tow laying, automatic tape laying, and fiber winding, manual layering can manufacture almost any shape of composite materials.

• Compaction. Perform pre compaction treatment.

Step 3: Curing preparation process.

• Including bagging of components, cutting and laying of auxiliary materials, etc.

Step 4: Curing.

• Curing is a necessary step in the production of composite materials, including heating, compaction, and curing. Thermosetting resin reacts under certain curing conditions to form a three-dimensional network structure.

Step 5: Detection.

• This includes visual inspection, ultrasonic or X-ray non-destructive testing, and quality testing of cured composite materials.

Step 6: Finishing

• Trimming can be done using a planer, high-speed water cutting machine, or milling machine. For cured composite materials, there may be some flying edges or burrs, which can be trimmed by a planer or milling machine to meet the design requirements.
