Impregnation Section with Rollers and Method for Impregnating Fiber Rovings

摘要

An impregnation section of a die (150) and a method for impregnating at least one fiber roving with a polymer resin are disclosed. The impregnation section includes an impregnation zone (250) configured to impregnate the roving with the resin. The impregnation zone (250) includes a plurality of contact surfaces (252). The impregnation section further includes a roller (300) configured to impregnate the roving with the resin. The roller (300) is rotatable about a central axis. The method includes coating a fiber roving with a polymer resin. The method additionally includes traversing the coated roving through a impregnation zone (250) to impregnate the roving with the resin. The impregnation zone (250) includes a plurality of contact surfaces (252). The method further includes traversing the coated roving past a roller (300) to impregnate the roving with the resin.
