LIPTON 5 x 7 Composite AutoclaveHigh vacuum / High pressure system used in manufacturing laminated glass, aerospace composites, composite racing systems and ballistics armor. These systems are used by the glass industry world wide to bond and cure laminated glass for architectural, automotive, and ballistic applications.In the manufacturing process, the assembly of float glass and PVB is laminated together and then placed in an autoclave. A typical autoclave lamination cycle ramps pressure to 180 PSIG (12.4 Bar) and temperature to 280F (137C). The cycle completes after 30 - 60 minutes.Cooling is ramped down at a controlled rate in order to reduce thermal stress and cracking. Vacuum bagging of parts is also used to help remove bubbles and improve overall part quality.Specifications: -- Interior dimensions: 56" W x 40" H x 84" L -- General dimensions: approx 11.5’ W x 10.5' H x 18' L -- Max. pressure: 300 PSIG -- Max. temperature: 600F -- Heat Source: 150 kW Electric Open Coil Heaters -- National Board: Certified, #493 -- Controls: Allen Bradley COMPACTLOGIX PLC with latest software package -- Thermocouples: (12) Type J -- Vacuum Lines: (6) Automated Source / Sense -- Vacuum pump: 2 HP Busch 40 CFM, Dry Rotary Claw, Air-Cooled -- Approx. weight: 30,000 LbsNOTE: Completely refurbished by professionals to meet the highest industry standards.
