LRTM Taking Off In India

Kent, WA - MVP Conducts Successful LRTM Training in India

Magnum Venus Plastech’s comprehensive three-day Light RTM training course has become one of the Composites Industry’s leading sources for manufacturers to learn how to bring LRTM to their production.  Since its introduction two years ago, the MVP Light RTM training course has been conducted in multiple countries including Germany, Australia, South Africa, Spain, and now India.

India is proving to be a rising star in Composites production, and many companies there are moving quickly from “standard” spray up techniques into closed mould production.  As they learn of the savings benefits in time, production costs, safety and more with making the change to Light RTM, Indian manufacturers have found the need to learn more about how to incorporate this process into their production.

Magnum Venus Plastech Distributor for India, MVP-India, hosted the MVP Light RTM training for the first time at their facility in Mumbai in January.  The customers who attended this course were confident that they had successfully learned the techniques necessary to begin using LRTM in their production.  Mr. Charles Tur, RTM/Infusion Technical Specialist for MVP, also met with several customers who had made the move into LRTM with the assistance of the technicians at MVP-India to speak with them on the latest technology and techniques being used in this process.

The purpose of this course, conducted by Mr. Charles Tur, is to provide customers, who are considering the move to closed mould technology, with the tools and training they need to make the changeover successful.  To that end, the three day training course includes extensive classroom lectures on the technology and techniques behind the process, the real costs and benefits of using Light RTM, and then moves to hands-on training from tooling the mould and counter mould, and finishes with the injection of a finished part. 

The full training course is set up to be a strong transfer of the technology of mould building, and allow each attendee to gain a good basis of knowledge to take back to their company, and easily put into practice.  Each person who attends the course receives the comprehensive training course manual, which discusses in detail the practices they learn during the class, as well as other training materials to use as reference once they are back at work.  With these tools, our attendees have the knowledge base they need to get their Light RTM operation up and running.
