Carbon Fiber Research The Despatch CFR Séries is a complète carbon fiber production line in a micro-scale package. Designed for universities and laboratories the CFR Series allows you to study and test fibers and processes with the same quality of a full production line at a fraction of the cost. The CFR is available as a complete line or as independent pieces.The line includes the same quality equipment offered in our production scale lines at a smaller scale. Despatch offers world leading center-to-ends oxidation ovens, energy efficient LT and HT furnaces designed for ease of operation with quick access to the muffle interior for easy cleaning. The Despatch surface treatment process provides uniform electro-chemical etching across the fiber web. A minimum amount of fresh water and base electrolyte is used due to effective recirculation systems. A sizing system provides uniform and constant distribution of size on the fiber. Fluid concentration and levels are PLC controlled and size fluid is continually circulated and filtered while in use. After sizing, a non-contact dryer delivers uniform low velocity airflow with a filtration system to capture fibrous debris.
