• Resin Introduction: The resin inlet port is where liquid resin, typically mixed with catalysts or additives, is injected into the mold assembly. This resin flows through the port and distributes across the dry reinforcement materials (such as fibers or fabrics) placed in the mold.

• Distribution and Control: The design of the resin inlet port ensures that resin is evenly distributed throughout the mold cavity. This uniform distribution is crucial for achieving consistent resin impregnation of the reinforcement materials, which directly impacts the quality and strength of the final composite part.

• Sealing Mechanism: To prevent leaks and maintain vacuum integrity, resin inlet ports are equipped with sealing mechanisms. These may include O-ring seals, gaskets, or other sealing materials that ensure a tight and secure fit between the resin inlet port and the mold assembly.

• Compatibility: Resin inlet ports are designed to be compatible with various resin systems used in composite manufacturing, including epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, and others. They accommodate different viscosities and flow characteristics of resin formulations to facilitate efficient and controlled infusion processes.

After the composite part is cured and ready for further processing or finishing, Peel Ply is removed by peeling it away from the composite surface. This process leaves behind a clean and textured surface that is free from contaminants such as excess resin or fibers. The resulting surface is ideal for secondary bonding, painting, or coating applications.

• Port Body: The main housing that connects to the resin supply line and interfaces with the mold assembly.
• Resin Feed Line Connection: The point where the resin supply line attaches to the resin inlet port.
• Sealing Mechanism: Ensures a tight seal with the mold assembly to prevent resin leakage during infusion.
• Flow Control Features: Some resin inlet ports may include features for regulating resin flow rates or monitoring resin levels during the infusion process.
•  

• Quality Control: Proper resin distribution through the resin inlet port is essential for achieving uniform resin impregnation of reinforcement materials, which influences the mechanical properties and performance of the final composite part.

• Process Efficiency: Resin inlet ports facilitate controlled resin infusion processes, ensuring that the right amount of resin is delivered at the correct flow rate and pressure. This contributes to efficient production cycles and reduces material waste.

• Versatility: Resin inlet ports are used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and wind energy for manufacturing lightweight and high-strength composite components. They support the production of complex shapes and structures that are difficult or costly to achieve with traditional materials.
