What Is GFRP Rebar Machine?
GFRP rebar machines are made to produce composite rebar. This material is popular in construction. It’s strong, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight. These machines use a pultrusion process. Glass fibers soak in resin; then they are shaped, cured, and cut to the right lengths.
Features
- The machinery ensures uniformity when making GFRP rebars. It guarantees top quality in every piece.
- Operators can adjust the drawing speed and rebar pitch. This allows for production tailored to specific needs.
- The heating system extends the work time with the mixture. It ensures the rebars are cured optimally.
- Dimensions: The production line is usually 18 m long, 1 m wide, and 1.5 m high.
- Power: Installed power requirements stand at around 18 kW.
- Consumption: The machinery uses 15 liters of water and 90 liters of air per hour.
- Production Capacity: The machinery can make 4-32 mm in diameter and unlimited length rebars, depending on the diameter.
