Why Pultrusion?

• Effective
• The pultrusion process is one of the most
  effective methods for the production of composite
  lineal profiles
• Efficient
• It is a continuous automated process that
  produces little waste
• Excellent
• It produces materials of consistent strength and
  uniform quality
• High Strength
• 1-1/2 times the strength of structural rated fir
  lumber
• Superior Insulation
• 37 times a better insulator than aluminum
• Light Weight
• 30 lighter than aluminum
• Durable

66
The Pultrusion Process
67
Reinforcement Dispensing

• Continuous fiberglass rovings are dispensed
  from center pull packages
• Porcelain eyelets eliminate static build-up and
  degradation of glass
• Fiberglass passes through a carding index that
  orients the fibers

68
Resin Impregnation

• The reinforcements are then drawn through the
  wet-out tank
• Pan guides keep the roving separated and maintain
  tension on the strands to permit the resin to
  wet-out each fiber

69
Preforming Section

• Saturated roving exits the resin bath and pass
  through a series of bushings or forming guides
• Excess resin is stripped off
• Fiberglass takes form for next stage

70
Curing Die

• Fiberglass enters heated steel dies that are in
  the shape of the final composite
• Die is heated by electric strip heaters or
  platens on top or bottom of the die surface
• Chrome plated interior die surfaces for increased
  die life and improved surface finish

71
Clamper/Puller

• Composite is pulled through the entire process by
  a gripper/puller system

72
Cut-off Process

• Diamond abrasive cut-off saw cuts composite to
  length
• Synchronized with movement of the pullers
• Activated by a preset cut-to-length limit switch
