Hot air autoclave for composite

The curing or consolidation cycle in the autoclave is a key process in the production of fibre composite components in aerospace, automotive, medical technology, sports equipment and research. The autoclaving process guarantees a consistently high quality of complex components with the highest demands. A corresponding homogeneity and flexibility cannot be achieved by alternative processes such as e.g. the pressing process.

Technical details

By the way, SCHOLZ built the first autoclave for composite materials already in the early sixties for a world-famous aircraft factory, and their former managing director was a pioneer in the field of composite techniques.
