Closed mould process

Raw ingredients (fibers and resin) in closed molding cure inside a two-sided mold or a vacuum bag (shut off from air). The majority of closed-molding methods are utilized in big factories that manufacture large amounts of material because they are typically automated and call for specialized equipment.

CLOSED MOULD TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS

RTM and Vacuum Infusion equipment

Composite manufacturers attempting ‘closed mould’ processing often require a high level of technical assistance to help them through the initial learning curve.

Composite Integration is able to provide practical assistance throughout the closed-mould process from RTM to Resin-Infusion, covering areas such as product design optimisation, materials selection, tooling design, and manufacture (composite and metal), injection and infusion equipment, accessories, installation, monitoring, process control and training.

Our team is able to offer an unparalleled range of skills and experience and is dedicated to helping customers throughout the entire process.

The Ciject® range of injection equipment is widely acknowledged as being the most sophisticated available, and combines award winning design with the highest quality engineering. The range includes a highly innovative range of equipment for delivering mixed resin into infusion processes.

This development is based around the use of in-mould sensors (IMPS) to provide accurate control feed-back and the technique is now used to manufacture some of the largest composite structures in existence.

We recognise the need for high quality and practical training, and the company is able to provide both on-site and in house training to suit the individual client. Composite Integration Ltd is continuing to expand with support from several worldwide partners.

Staff training is a key strategy to ensure all personnel are able to respond to both customer’s needs and continuing developments in the RTM process.
