Mono Vacuum Moulding™

The NEW MVM™ System is a simple new technique for composite closed moulding. As its name implies it features the use of only one, moderate level vacuum source and can be described as an introductory process to composite closed moulding. The system only requires an inexpensive, moderate vacuum source and does not require the use of any meter mix injection equipment and therefore has an extremely low start up price tag for a closed mould technology. If like many, you are a production moulder with limited resources but would dearly like to enter the field of closed moulding, then the MVM™ System is the ideal low cost technology for you. The global composites industry is now applying the Light RTM closed mould technique with great success, however there are still a great many traditional hand lay manufactures who are reluctant to use LRTM due to concerns over the perceived costs involved and the level of technical expertise required, although the experience of many who have introduced LRTM into their workshops has dispelled these perceptions. The MVM™ System offers first time users the opportunity to understand the benefits of closed mould technology at a very low entry cost. Essentially the MVM™ System uses a matched composite mould set with a resin inlet and vacuum connection. Sealing on the edge of the mould is employed for vacuum security and resin containment.

Once the mould has been closed and a vacuum applied, the resin mix is simply funnelled into the mould and left to fill and cure. One of Magnum Venus Plastech Limited’s clients uses the MVM™ System to mould over 100 riding helmets per 8 hour shift employing one operator. For a more rapid cure the mould can be water temperature controlled. Currently the technology is best applied to relatively small mouldings. Examples being: motorcycle cowlings, helmets, sports goods or any moulding in the range of up to 2-3 kg. Size is not a limiting factor however parts over 0.5m2 (5ft/sq) can take a long time to fill and might be more suited to the Light RTM process. High fibre volume fraction is achievable, with the process reaching aerospace specification however a moderate 30 -50% fibre weight is more common. Magnum Venus Plastech Limited have developed the MVM™ System and are the sole suppliers of technical data and build manuals, along with supplies of the recommended injection, vent and vacuum inserts, seals and latch clamps. Full packages of specialist mould build kits are also available, providing the first time user with an easy entry into this economic closed mould technology.
