A composite material hot press autoclave tank machine, also known as a composite curing autoclave, is a specialized equipment used in the manufacturing of composite materials.
It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and sporting goods for the production of high-quality composite components.
Here are the key features and components of a composite material hot press autoclave tank machine:
1. Autoclave Chamber: The autoclave chamber is a sealed, pressure-resistant vessel where the composite materials are placed for curing.
It is typically cylindrical or rectangular in shape and made of high-strength materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel.
2. Heating System: The autoclave is equipped with a heating system to raise the temperature inside the chamber. It can use electric heaters, steam, or hot oil circulation to achieve the required curing temperature for
the composite materials.
3. Pressure Control System: The autoclave has a pressure control system to regulate the internal pressure during the curing process. It ensures that the composite materials are exposed to the required pressure levels for
optimal curing and consolidation.
4. Vacuum System: Many autoclaves have a vacuum system that allows for the removal of air and impurities from the composite materials before the curing process. This helps to eliminate voids and improve
the overall quality of the final composite structure.
5. Cooling System: After the curing process is completed, the autoclave's cooling system to bring down the temperature inside the chamber. This helps to reduce the curing time and allows
for safe handling of the cured composite parts.
6. Control and Monitoring System: Autoclaves have advanced control and monitoring systems that allow operators to set and monitor the curing parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and time.
These systems provide real-time feedback and ensure precise control over the curing process.
Composite material hot press autoclave tank machines are crucial for the production of high-performance composite components. They provide controlled heating, pressure, and vacuum conditions necessary
for the curing and consolidation of composite materials, resulting in strong, lightweight, and durable composite parts.
The machines are designed to accommodate various sizes and shapes of composite structures, offering versatility and flexibility in composite manufacturing processes.

CHNT brand, it's best brand of China made, works accurate and stable. When customers have different power voltage supply, we put a transformer into the control box, as you can see it from below picture.
Tank body, we use Q345R as raw material
Steel Q345-R, as a widely used low alloy high-strength structural steel, represents the yield strength with "Q" in its grade, while "345" indicates that the yield strength (in megapascals, MPa) of this steel under
standard test conditions reaches 345MPa. The subsequent "R" symbol specifically indicates that the steel is suitable for container manufacturing,
that is, it has good welding performance and certain high-temperature resistance characteristics, and is suitable for the production of pressure vessels, storage tanks and other equipment.
The characteristics of Q345-R steel include:
1. Mechanical properties: In addition to having a yield strength of no less than 345MPa, it also has good tensile strength, generally up to 470-630MPa, as well as good toughness, plasticity, and weldability, ensuring
the safety of components under complex stress states.
2. Chemical composition: As a low alloy steel, Q345-R contains small amounts of alloying elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), etc. The addition of these elements can significantly
improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel without significantly increasing its weight, ensuring strength while reducing the structural weight.
3. Corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance: Although Q345 series steel is mainly designed for room temperature environments, Q345-R has certain corrosion resistance and resistance to medium and
low temperatures (usually from room temperature to about 400 ℃) through specific composition adjustments and heat treatment, making it suitable for manufacturing containers that can withstand certain temperature and pressure.
4. Processing performance: Good cold forming and welding performance make Q345-R easy to process into various complex shaped components, meeting different engineering needs, especially in the fields of chemical, petroleum,
energy, etc. It has a wide range of applications.
In practical applications, Q345-R steel needs to undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure that its various performance indicators comply with relevant national standards (such as GB/T 713), in order to ensure its safety
and reliability under design and usage conditions. Whether it's building large oil storage tanks, high-pressure vessels, or industrial boilers, Q345-R is a trusted choice for engineers.
