Composite autoclave

Autoclave is a kind of process equipment aiming at the characteristics of polymer matrix composite molding process. The use of autoclave molding is the main method to manufacture continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composite materials. It is suitable for the molding of advanced composite structures, honeycomb sandwich structures and metal or composite adhesive structures. It has the advantages of high precision temperature and pressure control, safe structure, good system stability, low energy consumption, simple operation and maintenance, and can achieve modularization and serialization to meet the needs of different fields, different processes and different specifications. It is widely used in automobile industry, aerospace industry, military industry, scientific research experiment and other industries.

Technical characteristics

Reliable quick-opening device

Using computer aided design, the force analysis of the structure of the autoclave door was carried out. The medium and small size autoclave was opened by cross arm and driven by hydraulic pressure to realize fast and stable opening and closing.

Unique annular duct structure

The annular duct + bottom duct is used as the whole duct to make the hot air in the tank flow fully to every corner, which enhances the uniformity of temperature and improves the working efficiency.

Superior heating system

The main heating system is arranged at the front end of the inlet of the centrifugal fan, so that each part of the heating pipe can fully exchange geothermal energy with the circulating air. The air duct in the bottom area is an auxiliary heating system, which plays a heating role to avoid thermal stress damage caused by uneven heat exchange at the bottom caused by the natural rise of hot air.

Advantages of tail screen duct

A uniquely designed tail-screen air duct balances and enhances the airflow at the back of the autoclave to and from the work area, making it the first choice for heating and cooling valuable components that are sensitive to temperature uniformity.

The unique cooler structure completely solves the problem of thermal expansion and contraction

The water discharge structure of the cooler is a unique U-shaped structure. One end is the water inlet, the other end is the water outlet, and the bend end of the U-shape can be freely telescoped, which can avoid the problem of water drain weld pulling caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the cooler.

Fully sealed frequency conversion circulating fan to prevent oil leakage and air leakage

Hot air circulation fan, using water-cooled high temperature resistant special frequency conversion motor, through the computer-aided system, matching the corresponding power and impeller, to meet the requirements of the air volume and wind speed, to adapt to different specifications of autoclave, fully in line with Boeing, Airbus process equipment specifications.

Multiple security protection

• Pneumatic, mechanical, and electric tank door closing interlocking mechanism.

• Air zero pressure detection system, when the air pressure is not up to the safe pressure, the tank door cannot be opened.

• Overtemperature alarm/interlock, overpressure alarm/interlock, automatic cooling when the temperature is too high, automatic release when the pressure is too high.

• Emergency safety relief valve.

• Open door and close door sound and light alarm.

• The emergency stop button cancels the operation that is curing, and all the inlet valve, exhaust valve, inlet valve and other actions will fail.

Perfect vacuum system

Autoclave vacuum system, including vacuum pump, vacuum pneumatic valve, vacuum buffer tank, vacuum pressure gauge, vacuum transmitter, precision filter, vacuum pipe, etc.; Each vacuum interface can be controlled separately, while vacuum sampling separation, each vacuum pipe can be cut off separately and can drain the atmosphere; Automatic vacuum leak testing can be performed before starting operation.

Stable and Reliable (TPC) control system

The autoclave is equipped with an advanced (TPC) control system. TPC software is a control scheme for curing autoclave composites based on industrial computer +PLC control. It is developed on the basis of absorbing the advantages of various control systems at home and abroad, and is a very popular control system for customers. The system has powerful database functions, including batch database, component accessory device database, process database, data acquisition database, etc., which can realize user permission login, component sensor selection, batch statistics, curing process curve setting, calling, saving, printing, process automatic and manual execution, real-time data monitoring, recording, saving, printing, system status monitoring, and so on. Alarm, quality analysis, data report generation, sensor accuracy correction and other operations. The TPC control system has been updated every year since its introduction to meet the changing requirements of the composite industry. With reliable performance and powerful functions, it is an application solution that customers can rely on.

A variety of manufacturing standards to meet the needs of the global market

• China Standard GB150-2011;

• ASME SEC VIII DIV.1 with ASME Certificate;

• European standard PED 97/23/EC with CE certificate;

• German standard AD2000.
