The invention relates to a moulding equipment and a method for a reinforced
thermoplastic cellular composite
sheet material by continuous
glass fiber pre-dip
polypropylene sheet material. The composite
sheet material comprises a
polypropylene honeycomb panel core layer and a continuous
glass fiber pre-dip
polypropylene sheet material
surface layer, The moulding equipment of the composite sheet material comprises a conveying track for conveying the core layer, an
infrared radiation preheating device for preheating the core layer, an unreeling
system used for conveying, preheating and tensioning the surface, a heating composite unit for heating and pressurizing the preheated
surface layer and the core layer, a cooling unit used for cooling and fixing the composited sheet material, a cooling
carriage for cooling the moulded composite sheet material, a
tractor for conveying power, a transverse sawing
machine and an elevating packing bench. The core layer polypropylene
honeycomb panel is guided into the
infrared radiation preheating device for being preheated, the upper
surface layer and the lower surface layer are preheated by the continuous
glass fiber pre-dip polypropylene sheet material through rollers with a S-shaped arrangement, then synchronously enters into the heating composite unit for respectively realizing the transverse and longitudinal fusion composite, and pass through the cooling unit and the cooling
carriage for cooling and fixing. The method has the advantages of low manufacture cost of the production equipment, high manufacture efficiency, high
automation degree and low maintenance cost.
