Carbon Fibre Production Project
Furnace Engineering designed and installed new carbon fibre production equipment at Deakin University in Australia in 2013.
This facility consists of a "single-tow" research-scale line and a "40-tow" pilot-scale production line.
Both the High Temperature (HT) and Low Temperature (LT) carbonizing furnaces in each of the two lines were developed, designed and built by Furnace Engineering.
Patent applications are pending for a number of innovations in the furnaces (one patent has since been awarded), and the project was the awarded in Engineers Australia's VEEA 2014 engineering excellence awards.
