On February 19th, the German company Thomas Technik & Innovation (TTI) announced the launch of the innovative pultrusion equipment pullCUBE.
The equipment is about 3.5 meters long, which is only 1/4 of the traditional pultrusion equipment, which can realize fast and convenient transportation and installation, eliminating the trouble of new / expansion plant. The equipment adopts TTI's patented technology, which can produce straight / bent profile products without length restrictions, and can be used in many fields such as bridge construction and livelihood engineering.
TTI has redesigned the start mode of pullCUBE to shorten the path of the equipment and greatly reduce the waste generated during startup. In addition, pullCUBE does not need to clean the mold, while improving production efficiency and reducing costs, it also greatly reduces the waste generated in the production process.
According to TTI estimates, the cost of purchasing a pullCUBE equipment can save 144,000 euros per year (the factory adopts a three-shift system, the equipment is cleaned every 20 minutes, and the carbon fiber profile is priced at 10 euros / meter).
Recently, TTI and its customer American Shape Corp jointly produced the first pultruded porous curved carbon fiber bumper in the automotive industry for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray model, achieving a 50% weight reduction and an annual output of up to 70,000 pieces It fully proves the advantages of TTI's patented technology.
"This highly automated pultrusion equipment integrates many patented technologies of TTI, and achieves good production efficiency with the world's smallest volume. It provides customers with more convenient and efficient solutions while avoiding huge materials. Waste. "Sebastian Mehrtens, Sales Director of TTI, said.
