On the afternoon of September 18, 2021, SXSQ Composites Technology Corporation imported two sets of carbon fiber Continuous Compression Molding (CCM) system and arrived at the production base.
This equipment is produced by Teubert Maschinenbau GmbH, Germany, and it is a world-leading technology in thermoplastic continuous forming matrix.
The equipment can produce 11 categories and 220 different specifications of carbon fiber and glass fiber profiles. Through secondary processing, it can make universally applicable high-performance composite material parts for the aerospace, rail transit, automobiles,ships….
The CCM Molding System from Teubert Maschinenbau GmbH
Continuous Compression Molding (CCM) is an intermittent but continuous production process to consolidate fiber, tapes, UD-tapes, etc. (glass fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, natural fiber etc.) with a thermoplastic matrix (PP, PPS, PEKK , PEEK, PA, etc.). With this process, organic sheets with high mechanical resistance at an extreme low weight (composites or profil) can be produced.
Depending on product requirements, different material combinations and layer structures can be used. The CCM process makes an almost endless production possible: the feeding unit, which cyclical opens and closes pulls the material through the press unit. Precisely regulated laminate pressures up to 25 bar as well as temperatures of maximum 420°C allow the production of semi-finished products (organic sheets) as plates or profiles.
The CCM process offers different manufacturing processes based on the material combinations. Film-Stacking or UD-tapes are used to produce high quality polymers. If the customer likes to manufacture cost-effective fiber reinforced composites, the direct injection of the matrix is suitable.
Semi-finished products produced with the CCM process have a degree of porosity less than 1% with a very low dimensional tolerance. The semi-finished products can be processed with the hot-forming or mechanical process.
