About Vacuum epoxy resin casting equipment
Description
- This equipment is special for epoxy resin casting dry type transformers, bushings, current transformers, potential transformers, HV switch insulators, arc-distinguish coils and other electric apparatus.
- It is applicable for with-stuffing casting and without-stuffing casting.
- It is suitable for degassing, mixing and casting high polymer materials under vacuum condition, such as bisphenol-A, outdoor-type epoxy resin, polyurethane, etc.
- It is applicable for processing both mixed material with stuffing added by user and double-component pre-mixed stuffing, very flexible.
- The equipment system can be added or reduced according to users requirements. It can be modularly rigged. It is characterized by convenient installation, easy operation, and high automation.
Main features
Perfect vacuum system: the whole process is carried out under vacuum condition.
Reliable metering system: there are two kind of metering methods based on different process requirement:
- Feeding pump + electronic scale (for casting with stuffing)
- Metering pump + static mixer (for casting various kind products)
Advanced and safe heating technology:
- Mixing tank is heated by , good temperature uniformity, high precision temperature control
- Casting tank is heated directly by electric heating plate
Advanced & reliable metering and control system: controlled by computer, key process and those easy to be mis-operated are controlled interlocked; Process revising, process curve recording, process parameter adjusting, can be achieved by computer very conveniently. The whole metering control and vacuum control are all full pre-set automatic.
Equipment Classification
- Basic type vacuum (pressure) casting equipment
- Dynamic mixing type vacuum (pressure) casting equipment
- Static mixing type vacuum (pressure) casting equipment
Basic type vacuum (pressure) casting equipment
- Comprised of one set of vacuum mixing tank and one set of casting tank. It is of simple structure, convenient maintenance, low investment.
- However, because there is only one set of mixing tank, mixture should be metered and controlled manually. And so productivity is normal.
Advanced Vacuum PerformanceWith a vacuum level reaching up to 0.1 mbar and high-capacity pumps, the system efficiently removes air and moisture, minimizing voids and defects in epoxy cast components. This ensures optimal insulation and reliability for electrical applications such as transformers and switchgear.
Automated Precision MixingThe PLC-based automated mixing system guarantees consistent blending of epoxy resin, resulting in superior mechanical and electrical properties. Dual shaft stirrers with variable speed optimize both thoroughness and process flexibility, vital for demanding industrial standards.
Integrated Safety and MonitoringSafety features include interlocks, overpressure release, emergency stop, and viewing ports for continuous process monitoring. These comprehensive controls protect operators and equipment while ensuring process integrity during every batch cycle.
FAQs of Vacuum epoxy resin casting equipment:
Q: How does the vacuum degassing system improve epoxy casting quality?
A: The multi-stage vacuum degassing system effectively removes trapped air and moisture from the epoxy resin. By achieving a vacuum level up to 0.1 mbar, it minimizes bubbles and voids, delivering castings with higher mechanical strength and excellent insulation properties.
Q: What is the typical process for operating the epoxy resin casting equipment?
A: Operation involves preheating the resin, automated PLC-controlled mixing, multi-stage degassing, and precise metermixdispense into moulds. The system monitors key parameters via the HMI touch control panel throughout batch cycles lasting approximately 6090 minutes.
Q: When should the resin preheater be used during the casting process?
A: The resin preheater should be activated before mixing, raising epoxy temperature up to 80C. This reduces viscosity and enhances flow, ensuring thorough mixing and optimal penetration into moulds for flawless casting results.
Q: Where can this epoxy casting equipment be utilized?
A: It is widely used in manufacturing facilities specializing in transformers, switchgear, and resin cast electrical components. Its robust build and customizable features make it suitable for use by manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and traders across diverse industrial sectors.
Q: What are the main benefits of the PLC/HMI control system for users?
A: The PLC/HMI touch control panel enables precise process monitoring, easy programming of parameters, safe operation via interlocks, and quick interventions in emergency situations. This facilitates efficiency, user safety, and consistent batch quality.
Q: How does the mobility feature contribute to operational flexibility?
A: The equipment is mounted on heavy-duty casters, allowing easy relocation within the production floor as needed. This enhances workflow, supports modular factory layouts, and aids in maintenance accessibility.
