VectorFusion Consumables
Simple. Repeatable. Savings.
The benefits of closed molding processes, specifically vacuum infusion processing (VIP), are well known within the composites industry. Styrene emission reduction, higher resin-to-glass ratio, and the ability to precisely position laminates prior to impregnation are just a few of the reasons more and more companies are making the switch to vacuum infusion.
To help simplify the infusion process, Vectorply’s engineering and sales teams aimed to create a new array of all-in-one feed and vacuum lines designed to make infusion easier, cleaner, faster and more consistent. These vacuum and feed lines are each unique, but all have the common goal of making a simpler, easily repeatable process to increase infusion efficiency. The incorporation of VectorFusion Consumable products, especially when combined with Vectorply’s industry-leading infusion-specific composite fabrics, allows companies to enjoy all the benefits of this closed molding process while saving time and costs.
Feed Lines – Designed to Move High and Medium Flows of Resin
VectorFeed PS58 “Green”
VectorFeed PS58 “GREEN” is a high-flow feedline combining a 1/2″ spiral interior diameter tube wrapped in an easy release Peel Ply. This simple, easy-to-use feedline makes infusion easier and quicker by moving a high volume of resin to other feed and branch lines quickly.
VectorFeed RS58-2 “BROWN 2.0”
VectorFeed RES58-2 “BROWN 2.0″ is a high-flow feedline combining a 1/2” spiral interior diameter tube wrapped in a perforated release film. Brown 2.0 allows users to move a large volume of resin quickly while also focusing limited print left behind when removed.
VectorFeed RE35 “Orange 2.0”
VectorFeed RE35 “ORANGE 2.0″ is a medium-flow feed and branch line consisting of a 3.5” corrugated mesh wrapped in perforated release film. ORANGE 2.0’s wide mesh allows for easy release from the part, and the lack of spiral tubing makes this a perfect branch line as well.
Vacuum Lines – Designed to Keep Resin Out Of Your Catch Pots
VectorVac PS58-6 “RED”
VectorVac PS58-6 “RED” is a vacuum line consisting of a 1/2″ spiral interior diameter tube wrapped in an easy release Peel Ply. VectorVac RED was designed to reduce or eliminate the flow of resin into catch pots be creating a resin break with it’s 8″ tail.
VectorVac TS58-6 “BLUE”
VectorVac TS58-6 “BLUE” is a vacuum line consisting of a 1/2″ spiral interior diameter tube wrapped in a spun polyester fabric. VectorVac Blue was designed to stay in the final part, with the polyester tail providing greater screw retention.
