Controlled wet out impregnation of fabric sheet or roll good materials
The Bridgecrane Impregnator is designed to process woven roving, stitch mat and/or fiberglass cloth with catalyzed polyester resin, metering the resin-to-glass ratio and depositing this material on a flat or hull surface (either male or female mold style). This style Impregnator is used to make up bulkheads, decking and other flat sheets used to build a composite ship as well as the hull itself.
The impregnator can handle glass roll goods up to 60 inch wide. A pair of nip rollers with an adjustable gap controls resin content. The impregnator is capable of producing laminates with glass content up to 55 percent by weight (depending on materials). Use of the Impregnator reduces the amount of resin and fiberglass used. In addition, styrene fuming is far less when using the Impregnator, as the resin is simply poured into the machine from the mix head.
