Resin Transfer Molding Systems Dispensing Equipment for RTM and Light RTM Applications GlasCraft RTM Systems ® A full line of solutions for resin transfer molding Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a closed mold manufacturing process. Finished parts are made by introducing polyester or vinyl ester resins into closed molds containing fiberglass, carbon or other reinforcements. Whether your process is traditional RTM, Light RTM, Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP), Closed Cavity Bag Molding (CCBM), or other similar process, GlasCraft offers a complete line of RTM systems to fit your application. GlasCraft RTM Systems provide control at low pressure – the key to successful Light RTM injection • E ngineered for low-pressure injection of polyester and vinyl ester resins Typical applications: • Marine and watercraft • Pool and spa • Bathware • Accu-Pressure sensor monitors and controls pressure • Consumer products • E ntry-level to automated, high-volume production models are available • Aircraft components • Automotive panels and parts Touch-screen PLC Programmable machine functions – from injection volume to catalyst ratio (depending on options) Positive Feed Catalyst pump Allows for infinite adjustment of catalyst percentage – no tools required Air Purge/Solvent Flush For quick, efficient maintenance cleaning Accu-Pressure Sensor Superior recirculation • Allows resin and catalyst to cycle to the dispense head and back to the containers, unmixed • Keeps pigments and fillers suspended in the resin • Allows line to be de-gassed without wasting material Spartan Dispense Head Provides excellent mix of resin and catalyst, and trouble-free injection as well 2 • Regulates, monitors and controls injection pressure • Stops material from dispensing if injection pressures go above the user set point • Prevents molds from becoming over-pressured Advanced features for automated, high-volume RTM production Touch screen PLC Programmable logic controller allows you to program injection volume and catalyst ratio settings. Reduces operator error. Results in less wasted material and improved productivity. In addition, RFID tags provide your facility with unlimited programming potential. That’s because the system only stores the current RFID tag’s dispense parameters. Since all molding parameters are stored on each chip, you can have an unlimited number of RFIDtagged molds in your production facility. Programmable digital air/solvent flush Flushes out the static mixer with a pre-programmed amount of solvent. Can be used in combination with the air purge function for extra cleaning power. Password Protected PLC Spartan 3 PLC with PAC and RFID systems are designed with password protection so that operators cannot change mold settings and parameters. Advanced GlasCraft models are available with the following: Programmable Automatic Catalyst (PAC) Ideal for manufacturers of larger parts. PAC allows you to program and adjust catalyst ratios for the injection cycle. By reducing the catalyst required for the first infusion of material, and increasing the catalyst during the last part of the infusion cycle, the part cures at a more even rate. Programmable Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID) Each mold in your plant gets a unique RFID tag that you program with specific parameters such as amount of resin required and a catalyst injection profile. The operator simply scans the tag and the machine automatically loads the pre-programmed settings. RFID tags eliminate operator error and programming errors, and save wasted material as well. Advantages of RTM A growing number of companies are moving to closed mold processes because it offers many significant benefits: • Less wasted material • Faster gel and cure times • Uniform part size and thickness • Consistent material usage • Finished surface on both sides • Reduced VOC emissions – less environmental impact • Higher glass content which results in lighter weight parts 3 Spartan Spartan II Basic Spartan II Deluxe Spartan 3 PLC Spartan 3 PLC with PAC For all forms of For all forms of highautomated closed volume, automated molding with touchclosed molding screen programming Spartan 3 PLC with PAC & RFID For all forms of closed molding; designed to simplify high-volume production when numerous mold sizes are used Entry level designed for RTM highpressure injection For all forms of closed molding For all forms of automated closed molding Complete recirculation • • • • • • Pneumatic trigger • • • • • • Air/Solvent flush • • • • • • Low-pressure injection • • • • • • Spartan dispense head • • • • • • Positive feed SSP catalyst slave pump • Feature • • • • • Stroke counter • • • • • Auto-valve ready • • • • • Low-pressure injection with Accu-Pressure • • • • • User-friendly control panel • • • • • Dispense timer • • • • Adjustable independent solvent flush • • • • Independent air flush toggle switch • • • • Adjustable gel timer • Touch-screen programmable • • • 30 programmable injection settings • • • Programmable digital air/solvent flush • Programmable automatic catalyst • • • • Programmable radio frequency identification tags • Unlimited programming • Password protected • Ordering Information 21650-00 23200-00 23240-00 Spartan Spartan II Basic Spartan II Deluxe Repair Kits 23280-02 23280-00 23280-01 Spartan 3 PLC Spartan 3 PLC w/PAC Spartan 3 PLC w/PAC & RFID Catalyst Pump LPA-190-RK Complete rebuild kit LPA-190-SK Seal kit Material pump capacity Pump output 2.5 gpm (9.5 lpm) .05 gal per cycle 20 cycles = 1 gal 5 cycles = 1 liter Air Motor (5-in) 20101-00 Complete service kit 20107-00 Pilot valve kit 20106-00 Main valve kit 20105-00 Gasket kit 20104-00 Stroke signal repair kit 20103-00 Rod seal kit 20102-00 Piston rod seal kit Max Output Pressure Catalyst Range 1,300 psi (89 bar, 8.9MPa) 0.5% to 3.5% Fluid Section 21570-00 5:1/11:1 Repair kit Specifications Air consumption 35 cfm @ 100 psi (991 lpm @ 6.8 bar) at maximum pump output Check Valves 21675-00 Resin check valve 21664-00 Solvent/air purge check valve 23547-01 Catalyst check valve 21676-00 Washer, crush, nylon, .52 ID 22904-00 Stem check valve 21044-02 Silicone o-ring 23540-00 Catalyst body check valve 22906-00 Washer, crush, nylon, ¼ ID 23524-01 Compression spring 22908-00 Round nut Mixer 20625-00 Static mixer Call today for product information or to request a demonstration. 800-746-1334 or visit us at www.graco.com. © 2008 Graco Inc. 340040 Rev A 12/08.
