fibre composite technology

There are immense technical requirements for rotor blades of wind turbines. By using light weight materials capable of withstanding high structural forces, so called fibre compound materials made from glass and carbon fibres, rotor blades with a total length of 60 metres can be manufactured. Nonetheless, a large part of the value chain is influenced by manual labor. Thus, the production of rotor blades has a high personnel demand. Polymer manufacturing in itself requires comprehensive experience and individuals highly skilled in their trade. DAL laminaters are skilled and experienced in working with different polymer types (thermoplaste, duromere or elastomere), reaction agents and resins (epoxy, vinyl ester and polyester) as well as reinforcing fibres (rovings, mattes, and fabrics).

•  mould making: participation (/collaboration) in the production of original  models and the shaping of rotor blades using vacuum infusion
• manufacturing of rotor blades using different techniques (vacuum infusion, prepreg, wet and hand laminate)
• repairs of rotor: damage recognition and documentation; sanding and repairing compromised areas using so called wet techniques; sanding and coating of surfaces
• quality assurance: visual controls of components; controls using non-destructive testing; process control and documentation of mistakes, build and process deviations

national and international projects are a given to us.
