Case Study
Fiberglass is no match for GK’s VIBRA- DRUM®
Chopped fiberglass has been a challenge in the composites industry for years. After fiberglass is chopped,its form becomes flattened and shifted. Even when the chopper is sharp and working well, this still occurs and only worsens over time as the blade is dulled. In a typical process the chopped fiberglass then enters a dryer system. Because of the irregular shape created by chopping though, the rice like material will not flow smoothly creating inconsistent flow rates and clumping issues. - Inserting the compactly designed VIBRA-DRUM®TM before the chopped fiberglass enters the dryer, leaves the rice-like material more uniformly shaped, thus increasing flow rate and material usability.
