Abstract:
An apparatus for preparation of a continuous composite element formed of reinforcement fibers impregnated with a resin that includes photo-initiators for curing. Reinforcement fibers are pulled through a vacuum chamber ( 110 ) and then a vertical impregnation chamber ( 122 ) where impregnation with the resin occurs. The elongate composite is then deposited onto a rotating wheel of conformation ( 140 ). During rotation, a radiation source ( 146 ) such as e.g., LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used to activate the photo-initiators and provide at least partial curing of the resin. From the wheel of conformation, the continuous composite element is passed along a vertical course ( 148 ) where additional radiation sources ( 150 ) activate the photo-initiators and provided additional curing.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus for manufacturing a continuous, elongate composite as in  claim 9 , further comprising a metering pump in fluid communication with the tank and configured for providing a controlled amount of resin to the impregnation chamber.
