Abstract: 1416284 Moulding plastics HITACHI Ltd 19 Feb 1974 [23 Feb 1973] 7538/74 Heading B5A [Also in Division H1] A diamond shaped coil, e.g. for use in a rotary dynamo-electric machine is wound of elemental conductors and longitudinally lapped with an insulating tape of fibrous material pre-impregnated with thermosetting varnish, (Figs. 1, 2A, not shown) and is compressed by immersion in sand by consolidate the insulant layer, expel air bubbles, and cure and mould the coil to a required cross-sectional shape. (Fig. 2B, not shown). Before treatment, a temperature resistant film is wound over the insulant to exclude adhesion of the sand. Plural such coils 20 are placed (Fig. 3) on shelves of a cage 24, which is placed in a tank 25 with a funnel shaped base with a valve 28 therein and provided with a steam heater. Sand 27 is valved into the tank, and is heated to the curing temperature of the varnish, so that the insulant layer is cured and compressed to a required shape by the weight of the heated sand, and after processing the latter is valved off into a further tank 26 also containing plural coils 20 for treatment. Thereafter the treated coils are removed and cooled; the tanks 25, 26 being alternately operated and the sand from tank 26 being pumped and valved to tank 25. The weight of sand applies uniform pressure to the coils under treatment (Fig. 4, not shown). A processing apparatus (Fig. 5, not shown) may comprise a pair of steam heated tanks containing coils to be processed and the pressure sand which is sequentially transferred from one to the other through valves and pipework by alternately raising and lowering the respective tanks.  The varnish may be self curing without heating by addition of a catlyst thereto, and the insulant layer may be impregnated with varnish under pressure. The sand may be preheated, or heating may be derived from electric current flowing in the coil windings. The sand may be pressurized by introduction of inert gas, which also displaces air bubbles within the insulation, alternatively the sand pressure may be applied in vacuo and/or mechanically vibrated. The sand may be Australian zircon sand, and is replaceable by granular alumina or glass beads. The tape may be of mica and glass cloth, or polyester film, impregnated with epoxy resin varnish, and the outer film excluding sand may be of synthetic resin. Production examples are given.
