Composite Integration, the resin transfer moulding and resin infusion specialist, will be showcasing its Ciject One and launching its automated infusion manifold system at the JEC Show, taking place in Paris from 3-5 March.

The Ciject One- RTM/VRTM injection machine is a sophisticated machine with programmable functions and an extensive level of control options.The use of PLC control systems combined with electronic pressure sensors allows for accurate regulation of injection pressures and complete process control.

Composite Integration’s patented modular infusion manifold has been designed to simplify the manufacture of large composite structures by streamlining and automating the infusion process. The system consists of a number of user configurable ports which can be individually actuated to direct material to the required resin feed line or mould inlet. The manifold is fully vacuum and pressure rated. And, after injection, the manifold can be flushed which results in a fully re-usable system.

Business development manager, David Raynor, said: “Liquid resin infusion is traditionally a wasteful process, with most of the vacuum bagging material and pipework being thrown to waste after debagging. As the scale and complexity of components to be infused increases, we have identified a need to develop a re-usable system for simplifying how resin is distributed to the various feed lines in an infusion. The manifold is especially relevant to the wind energy and marine markets who are infusing large structures with multiple feedlines.

“The modular nature of the valves also allows for the end user to specify how many outlets are required, so the system can also be tailored to smaller scale processes as necessary. With the addition of heating, the manifold can also be adapted for use with high temperature resin systems which are typically used in the aerospace sector. When combined with Ciject injection equipment, the ports can be automatically opened and closed, which allows full traceability of which valves have been opened and when.”
