- No casting moulds, casting models or shells required: Particularly economical for small production runs, prototypes
or special-purpose machines - Excellent vibration damping and noise reduction due to a considerable level of lower amplitude. Furthermore the critical frequence of the natural vibration is significantly reduced
- Very good adhesion to metal surfaces (approx. 14 N/mm² on sheet steel and approx. 22 N/mm² on grey cast iron with sand blasted contact surface)
- Practically no shrinkage through curing, no absorption of moisture, no swelling, long-term precision stability
- Approximation to the thermal expansion coefficient of steel: approx. 15 · 10-6 K-1 ➔ no “bimetal effect” impacting on accuracy
- High degree of static rigidity (for e-modulus, see technical data) ➔ possibility to reduce sheet metal thickness and save time for costly ribbing
- Perfect ecological balance is achieved through resourcesaving production mechanism. In addition the material is recycable or in case of disposal it is harmless to the environment
- Integrated machine elements possible due to encapsulation of conduits (e. g. hydraulic, coolant or temperature control lines)
- Professional filling and compaction on high-performance vibration tables at EPUCRET
Composite structures with mineral casting filling
The demands made on the static and dynamic performance of the machines, devices and units are growing permanently. Using EPUFILL technology, steel/welded, metal shell and cast structures are filled with a vibration-damping epoxy resin-bonded mineral casting material to create enduring, stable composite structures, offering an excellent level of static and dynamic rigidity
(damping).
