1. Are you a trading company or a manufacturer?
We are a production factory, with 20 years of experience in design and production, we can customize the right equipment for you according to different process requirements of different products.
2. What is the difference between an autoclave and an ordinary oven?
Autoclaves can control temperature, pressure and vacuum at the same time, while ordinary ovens only heat. High pressure environment can reduce material porosity, improve strength, suitable for high performance composite materials.
3. What are the key technical parameters of autoclave?
Temperature range: Usually 100°C - 200°C (depending on resin type).
Pressure range: 0.5MPa - 1.5MPa.
Vacuum degree: close to -1bar (excluding air).
Cavity size: customized according to product size (such as aviation grade tank diameter up to 6 meters).
4. How to choose the right autoclave?
To consider:
Product size and yield.
Material type (resin curing temperature, pressure requirements).
Accuracy requirements (temperature uniformity, pressure stability).
Budget and energy efficiency (e.g., energy-efficient heating systems).
5. Is the autoclave expensive to maintain?
Maintenance costs depend on frequency of use and maintenance specifications. Check seals, pressure sensors, and heating elements regularly to avoid leaks or temperature deviations. Long-term maintenance can extend the service life of the device.
6. What are the safety measures for autoclaves?
Pressure relief valve prevents overpressure.
Multiple temperature monitoring to avoid overheating.
Explosion-proof design and emergency stop system.
Operators must receive professional training.
7. Can autoclaves handle composite materials of different thickness?
Yes, but the process parameters need to be adjusted. For example, thick-walled parts may require longer curing times or stepwise heating to avoid uneven resin curing.
8. What is the difference between autoclave and vacuum bag forming process?
Autoclaves increase material density through external pressure, while vacuum bags rely only on atmospheric pressure (about 0.1MPa). Autoclaves are suitable for high performance, large size components, and vacuum bags are mostly used for low cost or small batch production.
9. What is the energy consumption of autoclaves?
Energy consumption is high (especially for large equipment), but costs can be reduced by optimizing processes (such as reducing heating times) and using energy-saving technologies (such as infrared heating).
10. How to ensure a uniform temperature in the autoclave?
Use circulating fan or hot air flow design.
Calibrate the temperature sensor regularly.
Place components properly (avoid blocking air outlets).
11. Can autoclaves be used to recycle carbon fiber composites?
At present, it is mainly used in the manufacture of new materials. Recovery requires chemical or mechanical separation of the resin from the fiber and is not directly related to the autoclave process.
12. Typical failure and solution of autoclave?
Insufficient pressure: Check seals or vacuum pumps.
Temperature fluctuations: Calibrate the heating system or replace the sensor.
Vacuum leak: Locate the leak with a leak detector and repair it.
