Into the mold (2) a fibrous preform is introduced. The mold is placed in a heater (3). The resin vessel (4) is heated (5) and pressurized via a valve (9). It has an injection line (6) with valve (7). A vacuum pump (14) with recovery pot (11) evacuate the mold. The vacuum line (15) from the pot includes a vacuum valve (17). A de-aeration line (18) with valve (19) connects the vacuum pump to the resin vessel. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding method of operation. Preferred features: Temperature sensors (20-26) are provided for the heater, resin vessel and mold. A bubble detector (30) is carried on the recovery line. The injection line is kept short, its valve close to the mold. This line is temperature-controlled. There is a controller operating heating, pressurization, vacuum pumping, temperature controls and valves. Principal parameters are displayed. A control program is stored and executed.
