Vacuum Infusion Composite Production Solution

Plan vacuum infusion molding with dry reinforcement, a sealed bag arrangement and controlled resin delivery.

Production objective

Build the Process Around Your Product

Plan vacuum infusion molding with dry reinforcement, a sealed bag arrangement and controlled resin delivery.

Product and material first

Start with the finished-product drawing, material system and acceptance requirements. The process route and equipment configuration are assessed together.

Capacity across the whole process

Define output with preparation, forming/reaction, curing, handling and inspection included. The slowest stage and product changes determine practical line capacity.

Haifeng resin preparation/metering/mixing interfaces with vacuum, bagging, tooling and cure equipment as agreed. Vacuum infusion is grouped under LCM.

Manufacturing workflow

From Preparation to Qualified Product

A planning sequence for the specified route. Final settings and acceptance conditions are established through material and part review.

01

Plan infusion

Review laminate, permeability, flow media and resin inlet/vacuum layout.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT
02

Lay up and bag

Position dry fibers and inserts, apply bagging materials and check leaks.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT
03

Prepare resin

Condition and mix the approved resin while controlling usable process time.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT
Engineering inputs

Information Needed to Configure the Line

Provide these inputs so the equipment range, interfaces and validation plan can be defined.

This table is a design brief, not a machine performance guarantee. Rated values are confirmed in the project proposal with their material and operating conditions.
Project design

Coordinate the Equipment With the Process

Evaluate repeatability, handling and acceptance across the full workflow.

Material-specific configuration

Component circuits, thermal control, mixing and receiving equipment are matched to the approved chemistry and processing window.

Defined interfaces

Haifeng resin preparation/metering/mixing interfaces with vacuum, bagging, tooling and cure equipment as agreed. Vacuum infusion is grouped under LCM.

Documented acceptance

The proposal defines trials, process records, inspection responsibilities and product-specific acceptance conditions.

Planning questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clarify the production route before selecting a machine.

Is VIMP the same process as VBO prepreg curing? +
VIMP introduces liquid resin into dry reinforcement under vacuum. VBO cures suitable resin-impregnated prepreg under vacuum-bag conditions; the resin-delivery needs differ.
What information is needed to size the production line? +
Share the finished-product drawing or sample, material supplier data, target output per shift or hour, automation requirements and factory conditions. Product changes, cure residence and downstream handling must be included in the capacity review.
What is included in the equipment package? +
Haifeng resin preparation/metering/mixing interfaces with vacuum, bagging, tooling and cure equipment as agreed. Vacuum infusion is grouped under LCM.
Are cycle time and finished-product performance fixed? +
They are established for the selected material, geometry, tooling and acceptance tests. The proposal identifies target conditions and the validation needed before a final performance commitment.
