Abstract
A pultrusion system, in accordance with various embodiments, is disclosed herein. The pultrusion system comprises a pulling mechanism and a slurry infusion bath. The pulling mechanism is configured to grasp and pull a textile through the infusion bath. The pultrusion system may comprise a feeding station to supply the textile to the pultrusion system. The pultrusion system may comprise a water bath configured to improve impregnation of a cement matrix from the slurry infusion bath.
Claims15
A pultrusion system for manufacturing three-dimensional textile reinforced concrete products, the system comprising:
- a feeding station having a textile wound thereon;
- a slurry infusion bath having rollers disposed therein;
- a calendar machine comprising a first roller and a second roller, the first roller disposed opposite the second roller, and the first roller configured to rotate in an opposite direction of the second roller;
- and
- a pneumatic clamp configured to grab, pull, and release the textile to convey the textile through the pultrusion system.
A method for forming a three-dimensional textile reinforced concrete product, the method comprising:
- grasping, via a pneumatic clamp, a portion of a textile;
- pulling, via the pneumatic clamp, the textile to cause the textile to unroll from a feeding station, pass through a water bath, pass through a slurry infusion bath, and form an impregnated textile;
- and
- passing the impregnated textile through a calendar machine comprising rollers.
