Integrated Carbon Fiber Line-1

Integrated Carbon Fiber Lines Produce fiber of the highest quality at the lowest production cost Despatch Industries is an experienced turnkey process line supplier for the carbon fiber industry. We provide a seamless process for installation and optimization of complete, integrated carbon fiber production lines. Our team of experts from around the world has over 40 years of carbon fiber equipment design and material processing experience. Despatch provides comprehensive systems for 1k to 320k tow manufacturing lines. Our best-in-class equipment and technology solutions are easily optimized to enable customers to reach their specific production goals and manufacture the highest quality fiber at the lowest cost per kilogram of fiber produced. Along with the world’s leading oxidation technology, Despatch offers 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. A minimum amount of fresh water and base electrolyte is used due to effective recirculation systems. The sizing system provides uniform and constant distribution of size on the fiber. Recipes and fluid levels are PLC controlled and size fluid is continually circulated and filtered while in use. After sizing, non-contact dryers deliver uniform, low velocity airflow with variable temperature control. The integrated control system allows for accurate, centralized control of temperature and transport drive speeds, higher levels of automation, and increased flexibility of the production line. The control system includes full data-logging and trending capabilities and enables the line to run at peak performance with maximum production output.
