The TOW-PREG has been designed for impregnating dry tow coils with resin, equipped with a unit for unwinding dry tow fiber coils, an impregnation unit with two interchangeable modules for working with thermosetting and thermoplastic resins, and a rewinding unit with temperature and humidity control.
The improvements achievable with this solution compared to technologies currently available on the market are:
- Up to 50% reduction in production costs compared to the
use of slit-tape, thanks to the absence of slitting, the
possibility of implementing “just-in-time” management to
avoid the costs of long periods of storage in refrigerated
warehouses, and the high maximum process speed,
estimated at around 200 m/min. - High reliability, repeatability, and quality control of the
material in terms of fiber/matrix ratio and therefore uniform
and controlled properties in the final tank, thanks to the
automatic feedback system based on in-line grammage
control sensor and the neural network integrated into the
machine software. - Possibility to reduce safety factors adopted in tank design,
thanks to improved control of the production process. - Ability to process resins critical from the perspective of
viscous behavior, thanks to the progressive heating system.
