Closed Mould Processing |
Introduction Open mould processing, by hand or spray lay up, is an established and adaptable method of manufacturing composite components of all shapes, sizes and complexity for relatively little capital investment. However, increasing commercial and environmental pressures are driving manufacturers to adopt alternatives to open moulding. The main drivers are: Improved Product Quality Օ Improved Product Consistency Improved Productivity Օ Reduced VOC Emissions* Reduced Labour Costs All of the closed mould processes described here require different operating procedures. With closed moulding, the emphasis is shifted from requiring highly skilled labour to achieve quality parts, to having the technology and procedures which ensure that quality and consistency are the inevitable outcome of the process. In order to be successful, capital investment will be required and materials of higher cost than those used in contact moulding may be necessary. However, these costs can be more than offset by savings in labour, increases in productivity and better utilisation of factory space, leading to lower unit cost. More importantly, customer satisfaction should improve as a result of fewer rejects and the on-benefits to them of a consistent, product quality supply. |
