On The Development of the Manufacturing Technology of Fiberglass Cylindrical Shells of Gas Exhaust Trunks by Buildup Winding

The new mobile technology for manufacturing of large-sized shells made of polymeric composite materials (PCM) based on a wet winding with rearing is set forward. The basic principles of the technology are developed, the equipment is manufactured, its approbation is held, and the development prototypes of shells made of fiberglass are produced. The proposed method allows producing the shells of the theoretically unlimited length directly at the construction site. The most promising implementation direction is the vertical-based production of large-sized gas exhaust liners made of PCM for chimneys. The technology is oriented at large-sized structures, the diameter of the gas exhaust duct of which is more than 3 m. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
