SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING PULTRUDED COMPONENTS

摘要

A system (100) for producing a pultruded component (50) includes an impregnation die (150) for wetting yarns (110) of fiber with a polymeric resin precursor (141). The die (150) includes a first chamber (154) for coating external surfaces of the yarns (110) and a second chamber (156) for coating fibers within the yarns (110). The second chamber (156) has a cross-sectional area that decreases between an entrance to the second chamber (156) and an exit from the second chamber (156). The system (100) also includes a member (151) for spacing the yarns (110) apart prior to entering the first chamber (154) to allow the polymeric resin precursor (141) to flow around the external surfaces of the yarns (110).
