Econo-Winder

• 180° carriage pivot
• Easy access to controls
• Varied material application
• First step toward full-automation

The Econo-Winder is the base model in our innovative, modular filament winding product line. The Econo-Winder, a manually controlled machine, boasts low production costs in the manufacture of superior corrosion-resistant products. This system is the ideal choice for production needs that do not require full automation. Products commonly made with this system include tanks for storing oil, brine and chemicals and smokestack liners.

The Econo-Winder allows a second mandrel to be in production while the first is curing. An M.V.P. chop-and-spray gun is used to wet out up to 60 winder strands at a production rate up to 200 SFM.

The controls for carriage direction and speed, roller pressure, and styrene spray are all mounted on the carriage control box.

The Econo-Winder can apply a parting film, surface veils, chopped liners, filament winding strands, wax surface coat, pigmented surface layer, unidirectional tape, woven roving tape and various special resin mixtures.

The beauty of the Econo-Winder modularity is the ability to easily upgrade to the Ultra-Winder for a minimum cost.
