Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cleaning silicone grease, in particular to a silicone grease coating device with a rotating function. Background Art

[0002] Fiber composite winding technology is an advanced composite molding method. Through the winding of continuous fibers on the core mold, and the impregnation of resin and curing molding, products with excellent properties such as high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance are obtained. In the manufacturing process of the inner cylinder, the application of automatic cleaning and silicone grease equipment is aimed at improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and meeting specific use requirements. Before the fiber composite winding molding, it is very important to clean the core mold or the inner cylinder.
