ESTRIM technology to replace RTM

Cannon’s latest developments in the fields of Composites, Polyurethane and Thermoforming technologies will be presented by an international team of specialists:

 • The ESTRIM (Epoxy Structural Reaction Injection Moulding) technology, for the replacement of

conventional, slow RTM process with fast-demoulding high pressure injection of Epoxy resin’s formulations. The E-System, a three-component high pressure dosing unit for Epoxies launched at the past edition of JEC, will be presented in its second, enhanced version to the market.

• The range of automatic Preformers for the preparation of Carbon and Glass fiber preforms used for

resin impregnation and injection technologies.

• Co-injection and Reinforced spray technologies for Polyurethanes, for an increasingly wider number of industrial applications.

• Automated assembling technologies for the production of large composites parts destined to the

avionics and wind generation markets.

• A wide number of innovative solutions for the Wind Generation industry:

– the Epoxy DX dosing machines for Epoxy resin infusion in the largest blades

– dosing machines for Polyurethane inserts to replace the use of balsa wood

– dosing machines and presses for DCPD (DiCycloPentaDiene) resins to produce large, thin, highmodulus structural parts without glass reinforcement

– Aluminium Die-casting presses for the large electric motors used in the turbines

• Compression molding presses up to 3,500 ton for SMC, GMT, LWRT (Low Weight Reinforced

Thermoplastics) and a new generation of Composites

• The latest models of Industrial Thermoformers of Cannon Forma, equipped with halogen heating lamps, computerised zone-control of heating, patented adjustable plate systems for minimum set up time and elimination of reduction plates.
