65. Why Pultrusion? Effective
The pultrusion process is one of the most effective methods for the production of composite lineal profiles
Efficient
It is a continuous automated process that produces little waste
Excellent
It produces materials of consistent strength and uniform quality
High Strength
1-1/2 times the strength of structural rated fir lumber
Superior Insulation
37 times a better insulator than aluminum
Light Weight
30% lighter than aluminum
Durable
Will not dent or deform like wood and aluminum

66. The Pultrusion Process

67. Reinforcement Dispensing
Continuous fiberglass “rovings” are dispensed from center pull packages
Porcelain eyelets eliminate static build-up and degradation of glass
Fiberglass passes through a carding index that orients the fibers

68. Resin Impregnation
The reinforcements are then drawn through the wet-out tank
Pan guides keep the roving separated and maintain tension on the strands to permit the resin to wet-out each fiber

69. Preforming Section
Saturated roving exits the resin bath and pass through a series of bushings or forming guides
Excess resin is stripped off
Fiberglass takes form for next stage

70. Curing Die
Fiberglass enters heated steel dies that are in the shape of the final composite
Die is heated by electric strip heaters or platens on top or bottom of the die surface
Chrome plated interior die surfaces for increased die life and improved surface finish

71. Clamper/Puller
Composite is pulled through the entire process by a gripper/puller system

72. Cut-off Process Diamond abrasive cut-off saw cuts composite to length
Synchronized with movement of the pullers
Activated by a preset cut-to-length limit switch
