Why Pultrusion?
•
Effective
• The pultrusion process is one of the most effective methods for the production of
composite lineal profiles
•
Efficient
• It is a continuous automated process that produces little waste
•
Excellent
• It produces materials of consistent strength and uniform quality
•
High Strength
• 1-1/2 times the strength of structural rated fir lumber
•
Superior Insulation
• 37 times a better insulator than aluminum
•
Light Weight
• 30% lighter than aluminum
•
Durable
• Will not dent or deform like wood and aluminum
65
The Pultrusion Process
66
Reinforcement Dispensing
• Continuous fiberglass “rovings”
are dispensed from center pull
packages
• Porcelain eyelets eliminate static
build-up and degradation of glass
• Fiberglass passes through a
carding index that orients the
fibers
67
Resin Impregnation
• The reinforcements are then
drawn through the wet-out tank
• Pan guides keep the roving
separated and maintain tension
on the strands to permit the
resin to wet-out each fiber
68
Preforming Section
• Saturated roving exits the resin
bath and pass through a series
of bushings or forming guides
• Excess resin is stripped off
• Fiberglass takes form for next
stage
69
Curing Die
• Fiberglass enters heated steel
dies that are in the shape of the
final composite
• Die is heated by electric strip
heaters or platens on top or
bottom of the die surface
• Chrome plated interior die
surfaces for increased die life
and improved surface finish
70
Clamper/Puller
• Composite is pulled through the
entire process by a
gripper/puller system
71
Cut-off Process
• Diamond abrasive cut-off saw
cuts composite to length
• Synchronized with movement of
the pullers
• Activated by a preset cut-tolength limit switch
72
