CT4 GFRP/ FRP Rebar. Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar Production Machine
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
The CT4 machine is designed for the production of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar with diameters ranging from 4 mm to 20 mm. It can simultaneously produce up to 4 rebar rods, ensuring high productivity and cost-efficiency. The machine comprises several key components, each performing a specific function in the production process.
Key Features of CT4
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Rebar Diameters | 4 mm - 20 mm |
| Number of Rods | Up to 4 |
| Overall Productivity | Up to 32 m/min |
| Components | 12 main modules |
1. Creel
- Function: Holds spools of roving and creates initial tension in the threads using guide rings through which the threads pass.
2. Roving Dryer
- Function: Aligns and dries the roving threads, ensuring even heat distribution and optimal moisture content for subsequent impregnation with polymer resin.
3. Impregnation Module
- Function: Impregnates the roving threads with resin and presses them to maintain crucial properties of the polymer binder (flow, cure rate, temperature) while reducing polymer consumption through a modern pressing system.
4. Rib Winder
- Function: Winds periodic profiles (ribs) with precise winding steps for each rebar size, ensuring a strictly cylindrical rod shape and removing air from the impregnated rod.
5. Infrared Booster
- Function: Accelerates the resin polymerization process.
6. Tunnel Kiln
- Function: Used for resin polymerization, where the resin cures and the final GFRP rebar is formed.
7. Cooling Module
- Function: Cools the GFRP rebar.
8. Pulling Device
- Function: Pulls the GFRP rebar and determines the pulling speed.
9. Cutting Device
- Function: Cuts the GFRP rebar to the desired length.
10. Winder Coves
- Function: Lays the GFRP rebar into coils.
11. Automatic Coiler (Optional)
12. Device for Twisting Fiberglass Strands
- Function: Forms ribbed thread by twisting roving threads.
Productivity
| Rebar Diameter (mm) | Number of Rods | Pulling Speed (m/min) | Productivity (m/min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 8 | 32 |
| 6 | 4 | 7 | 28 |
| 8 | 4 | 6 | 24 |
| 10 | 4 | 5 | 20 |
| 12 | 3 | 4 | 12 |
| 14 | 3 | 3.5 | 10.5 |
| 16 | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| 18 | 2 | 2.5 | 5 |
| 20 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
These data are approximate and depend on the characteristics of the resins used and environmental conditions.
