APPARATUS FOR RESIN IMPREGNATION

摘要

A two roller impregnator for impregnating a fiber with (catalyzed) resin. The resin is kept directly above the two rollers and enclosed with a set of dams to create a resin pool. A different resin pool may be generated for each roller. The resin release mechanism facilitates for the resin and if necessary, a catalyst, to be released into the resin pool(s). Temperature of the resin pool can be controlled, along with the temperature of each roller. A post-impregnation catalyst activator can be utilized to activate the catalyst.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first nip roller; a second nip roller opposing said first nip roller and said second nip roller rotating in the opposite direction of said first nip roller; a dam holder bar, above said first nip roller and said second nip roller; a first dam, attached to said dam holder bar, said first dam placed flush above said first nip roller and said second nip roller, wherein said first dam generates downward force on said first and second nip rollers; a second dam, attached to said dam holder bar, said second dam placed flush above said first nip roller and said second nip roller, wherein said second dam generates downward force on said first and second nip rollers; a resin pool held by said first nip roller, said second nip roller, said first dam and said second dam; and a resin release mechanism for releasing resin into said resin pool.
