The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of fibre-reinforced plastic components in moulds (13), in conjunction with which moulding material in the form of fibres impregnated with resin, after pressing or blowing into the moulds (13) and after hardening and cooling for a certain period in the mould, are removed as finished components. The moulds (13) are transported continuously on an endless track (1) between an input station (2) at which the moulding material is introduced into the mould and an ejection station (3) at which the finished component is ejected from the mould. Characteristic of the invention is that the transport speed of the moulds between the aforementioned stations (2; 3) is selected so that the transport period for a single mould is approximately the same as the hardening and cooling period for the eventual component in the mould. The reinforcing fibres are arranged in a bundle (4a) and are conveyed at the transport speed towards the input station (2). The fibre bundle (4a) is impregnated successively with the resin, is pre-heated, and is introduced into the input station (2) and into an opened mould (13). The mould is closed, and the moulding pressure or the blowing pressure is applied, whereupon the component is ejected at the ejection station (3) after the aforementioned hardening and cooling. |
