Carbon Composite HP-CRTM Solution
High-pressure resin metering and surface injection coordinated with compression-RTM tooling and press movement.
High-Throughput Consolidation for Oversized Structural Composites
High-pressure resin metering and surface injection coordinated with compression-RTM tooling and press movement.
Equipment and process scope
Resin preparation, metering/mixing skid, tool injection interfaces and coordinated controls. Press, preform handling, mold and material validation are agreed external scope.
Validation and production planning
The stated 12–20 MPa is the metering/impingement circuit, distinct from cavity pressure. The supplied sub-120-second reference covers complete loading-to-demolding with the selected resin, tooling, cure and handling sequence; it is not an injection-only or universal cycle rating.

Turnkey Large-Area HP-CRTM Manufacturing Workflow
The sequence describes the supplied configuration. Final settings, cycle boundaries and acceptance are defined for the selected material and tooling.

Carbon Preform Loading & Micro-Gap Setting
Supplied process reference: The 3D carbon preform (NCF fabrics, V_f ≥ 55%) is placed in the tool; the press closes to a 1.2 mm micro-gap under 0.05 kPa vacuum.
18 MPa High-Pressure Impingement Metering
Supplied process reference: Servo axial piston pumps meter fast-curing epoxy at 18.0 MPa under Coriolis feedback, holding stoichiometric accuracy within ±0.2%.
Low-Drag Surface Resin Distribution
Supplied process reference: The tool-mounted head dispenses 2,650 g in 9.5 seconds for the selected surface-distribution sequence. Fiber displacement is assessed on the actual preform and tool.
Reference Solution Engineering Envelope
Supplied configuration and validation references; material/component results are separate from equipment ratings.
| Parameter | Value / Unit | Applicable Configuration / Conditions |
|---|---|---|

Core Equipment for This Solution
Resin preparation, metering/mixing skid, tool injection interfaces and coordinated controls. Press, preform handling, mold and material validation are agreed external scope.
Core Advantages of Haifeng HP-CRTM Systems
Configured equipment functions and interfaces for the selected material and tooling.
Fiber Displacement Control
Micro-gap surface distribution and the compression stroke are coordinated to manage preform movement; zero fiber displacement is not guaranteed.
High-Throughput 120s Cycles
The supplied 120-second complete-cycle reference uses its specified resin, cure, press and handling sequence; press speed alone does not establish cycle time.
35% Weight Reduction vs Metal
The supplied 35% tray-weight comparison concerns the stated aluminum baseline and composite design, not a machine-wide or vehicle-wide guarantee.
Defined Porosity Acceptance
The supplied below-0.5% laminate porosity reference requires a defined quantitative method and part acceptance; cavity vacuum alone does not establish aerospace qualification.
