CIJECT Three – Equipment for advanced composites

Description

Resin Mixing Technology

The Ciject 3 range is the result of several years of focused development work in advanced composite manufacturing technology.
Working with tier-one aerospace and advanced materials manufacturers in combination with collaborative project work (such as the AMSCI funded Propound project) has enabled us to develop the most advanced equipment currently available.

A combination of advanced control methodology and intelligent process mapping enables a step towards the target of ‘Industry 4.0.

These machines allow different resin systems to be prepared (i.e. heated, mixed, degassed) and then dispensed without the need to clean and re-prime a mechanical pumping system.

Originally developed for R&D and lab-scale processing, the Ciject 3 had now been developed further to suit the specific requirements of the aerospace and other hi-tech composite manufacturing industries.
The accurate output control allows the machine to be used in both RTM and RI processes.

Three versions are available:

• Ciject 3.0– A basic version of the machine with a relatively simple manual control system, aimed at processing room-temperature curing resin systems or resins that require limited heating.
• Ciject 3.1– An evolution of the Ciject 3.0, with touch screen control and capacity for processing higher temperature resin systems. 
• Ciject 3.2 – The most sophisticated version, controlled via a powerful PLC with a touch-screen HMI. This enables the addition of more complex control and monitoring options.
