PERANCANGAN DAN PEMBUATAN ALAT VACUUM BAGGING
Abstract
Vacuum bagging is the process of making composite products by utilizing the
vacuum air in the mold. Vacuum bagging consists of connector valves, resin
suction hoses, tubes, bagging films, vacuum pumps and molds. The purpose of
this research is to design and manufacture vacuum bagging connector tools as
well as supporting tools and analyze the performance of vacuum bagging tools
with pressure adjusters . Tests with low and high stages, Process 1 for the low
stages, the results obtained absorption flow from the resin that enters the
breathercloth takes more than 15 minutes which causes the specimens in the old
mold to dry and harden. Process 2 for the high stage, the results of the power flow
absorption of resin that enters the breathercloth faster, then within ± 5 minutes the
specimen process can dry and harden. From process 1-2 it can be concluded that
the results of process 2 are good, because the results obtained are better than
process 1, while the results of process 1 the product results are still wet and slow
to dry. The design of the Trap connector bag for Vacuum bagging was
successfully designed and made later. The working principle of the vacuum
bagging tool is done by adjusting the hight pressure (0.8) Bar.
