CENTRIFUGAL CASTING

The centrifugal process is a technology used to produce fiberglass tapered poles.

The product is obtained by placing the reinforcements (fiberglass roving) in a rotary mold having a cavity in the form of a truncated cone. The fibers are pressed outwards against the walls of the cavity by centrifugal force. The polymer matrix impregnates the glass fibers and polymerizes in contact with the heated mould.

Poles can be produced via the centrifugal process with constant or differentiated thicknesses thanks to the possibility to distribute the reinforcement fibers inside the mold in any of a variety of configurations. Poles can thus be produced with reinforcements only in certain critical points depending on the specific application without increasing the thickness or weight of the pole.
