What is in the line
01CreelRoving feeds from racks at the back of the line. How evenly it feeds decides whether the bar holds a consistent section.
02Roving dryerDrives moisture out before the fibre meets resin. Moisture at this point is a defect you cannot see until the bar is tested.
03Impregnation moduleResin introduced in stages rather than one bath. Dry fibre left inside a bar is a void, and voids are where alkali attack starts.
04Twisting and ribbingHelical wrap and surface applied before cure. Whether rib distance can be changed, and stays synced to pulling speed, decides how much of your day goes on resetting the line.
05Curing · infrared boosterShort-wave infrared passes through the glass and is absorbed by the resin, so the bar begins curing from the inside out.
06Curing · tunnel kilnConventional curing follows the booster. The two together are the curing section, and the kiln is where heaters either hold 250 °C or fade.
07Cooling moduleControlled cooling. Too fast and you lock stress into the bar.
08Pulling deviceGrips along a length rather than at points. This is what holds tolerance, and where you watch for slippage on a multi-bar run.
09Cutting deviceTo length, automatically. Manual measure means a man, a tape, and a variance you will argue about with customers.
10WinderCoiled for despatch. Compact coils or large ones — large coils cost you more to ship, to every customer, for the life of the plant.
