New Equipment to Lead Advanced FRP Market

Kent, WA

Advanced FRP applications are one of the fastest growing areas of the thermoset plastics industry throughout the world. From filament winding of storage tanks, to continuous fiberglass panel manufacturing, to the layout of a boat hull Magnum Venus Products has the right system for the job. With the demands for equipment in this area of the industry, M.V.P. has shifted some of its strategic focus to meet the Advanced FRP needs of the global market with several superior products. The flagship of the M.V.P. Advanced FRP series is the Versa-Wind line of comprehensive winding capabilities. Foremost among its benefits is its ability to grow with the customer's operation, allowing the operator to start small and add on as output needs match the growing business. Among many benefits, the ability to tie the pumping system and winding operations into one single control package adds a level of versatility not found in other products. The M.V.P. Reciprocator is designed for automatic, high-volume production of flat panels or sheets, using a chopper and/or gelcoat gun. The gun traverses over a moving mold or table, distributing catalyzed resin and chopped fiberglass evenly on the surface of a carrier film. The M.V.P. airless spray system reduces waste and fuming during the spray-up and rollout processes, which are both completely automated.

The M.V.P. Four-Roll model Impregnator revolutionized the marine industry years ago. It continues to find applications in the manufacture of boats of all sizes as well as numerous other non-marine products. Available in a variety of configurations including Bridge Crane, Mobile and Semi-Gantry, Portable and Stationary the M.V.P. Impregnator contributes to substantial savings of resin, labor and time, producing superior products.

When it comes to providing the Total Solution - Magnum Venus Products delivers.
