An autoclave is a device used to perform industrial and scientific procedures that call for higher pressure and/or temperature than the ambient conditions. In the chemical industry, autoclaves are used to vulcanize rubber, cure coatings, and sterilise objects prior to medical procedures.
They are also used for hydrothermal synthesis. Industrial applications employ industrial autoclaves, particularly for making composite materials.
Depending on the size of the load and the contents, many autoclaves employ pressured saturated steam at 121 °C (250 °F) for 30 to 60 minutes at a pressure of 15 psi (103 kPa or 1.02 atm) to sterilise equipment and supplies. Although Denis Papin invented the steam digester, Charles Chamberland is credited with creating the autoclave. The word “auto-locking device” is derived from the Greek auto-, which ultimately means “self,” and the Latin word “clavis,” which means “key.”
Autoclaves are also frequently used to cure composite materials, particularly when joining many layers without creating cavities that would reduce the strength of the material, and when vulcanizing rubber. The most reproducible physical qualities are made possible by the intense heat and pressure that autoclaves produce.
Wafer bonding methods with an intermediary glass layer are referred to as “glass bonding,” “glass soldering,” or “seal glass bonding.” For surface micromachined structures, such as accelerometers or gyroscopes, it is an extensively utilised encapsulating technique.
The composite material (prepregs) is heated and under pressure in an autoclave during the curing process in this procedure. This technique involves stacking prepregs in a mould in a certain order, and vacuum-sealing the entire assembly to get rid of any trapped air.
The Global Glass Bonding Autoclave market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Taricco Corporation’s glass bonding autoclave.This innovative autoclave, which Taricco Corporation developed and manufactured, is intended to be used for glass laminating or composite bonding. This system also includes a comprehensive vacuum system with independent transducer lines and controlled vacuum levels, as well as a full PLC TCS control system.
Autoclave for Composite/Glass Bonding from Taricco Corporation
Taricco Corporation is completely refurbishing this system. This autoclave now has a brand-new vacuum system with resin traps, valves, and piping, as well as a full fly-by-wire TCS Thermal Control system and brand-new PLC.
This system is a perfect fit for any aerospace composites shop, armour maker, or glass laminating business because to its high temperature and pressure capabilities.
