The Process
The pultrusion process consists in pulling a continuous reinforcement through a resin bath or an injection/pouring mould fed by a dosing machine. The material passes then through a heated die in order to obtain a product unidirectionally reinforced. During the transit into the heated die the matrix cures and, once in a solid state, a pulling mechanism consisting in reciprocating pullers or a caterpillar moves the profile to continue the production process. A cutting station then divides the profile at the defined length.
