Patent ID: 11845232

Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for preparing armor made of para-aramid fibers, including a plurality of rollers feeding an input source of the para-aramid fibers, the fibers being at a first temperature. The system and method include a heating mechanism encapsulating at least a portion of the plurality of rollers, the heating mechanism heating the para-aramid fibers fed by the rollers from the first temperature to a second temperature. The method and system include a press, including a plurality of plates, whereupon the para-aramid fibers reaching the second temperature, the para-aramid fibers are fed into and compressed between the plurality of plates by the press, and heated to a third temperature. The method and system include a cooling section supporting the plurality of plates and the para-aramid fibers compressed therein while the para-aramid fibers cool from the third temperature to a fourth temperature.
