C. A. Litzler Co. Inc. (Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.) highlights its improved, standard thermoplastic prepreg machines. The systems are available for use with water-based resins, various fibers and can produce prepreg at various widths.
Features of the system include:
- Fiber saturation and impregnation
- Stainless steel, recirculating slurry dip tanks using CFD modeling
- Mixing and distribution manifolds
- Submerged rollers to encourage wetting
- Water/solvent removal and resin pre-heating
- Infrared ovens are used because they do not disturb the resin distribution
- Heated die
- Precision machined to maintain/improve resin distribution
- Uniform temperature distribution across and along the web for uniform penetration and wetting
- Servo-driven compaction rolls for improved surface finish
- Litzler Automation control systems and graphical interface are reliable and easy to use.
C.A. Litzler also offers experience in dryer technology, superior compaction rolls and tow spreading experience.
