Carbon Fiber Sheet Hot Press Production Line
Integrated Carbon Fiber Prepreg Layup, Material Handling and Hot Press Forming Production Line
This carbon fiber sheet production line integrates prepreg layup, material handling, two-layer hot press forming, unloading, cooling, and product inspection. The system is designed for manufacturing flat carbon fiber sheets with controlled thickness, surface quality, and batch consistency.
The production line can be configured according to the customer’s prepreg material, sheet dimensions, production capacity, forming temperature, pressure requirements, and workshop layout.

Manufacturing Solution
Process Description
Carbon fiber prepreg is first cut and manually stacked according to the required ply orientation and sheet thickness. The completed layup is wrapped with release film or release paper and placed between stainless-steel or tempered-glass separator plates.
The material is loaded onto the hydraulic roller lift table. The lift table travels along the floor rails and adjusts its height to align with either working layer of the two-layer hot press. The operator manually pushes the material into the press through the non-powered rollers.
The hot press then applies the preset temperature, hydraulic pressure, and holding time to consolidate and cure the prepreg. After forming, the sheets are removed with the lift table, cooled naturally, and inspected for dimensions, thickness, flatness, and surface quality.

Steps
01
Prepreg Cutting and Layup
Carbon fiber prepreg is cut to the required dimensions and manually stacked according to the specified ply orientation, sheet thickness, and layup structure.
02
Separator Plate Preparation
The prepreg layups are wrapped with release film or release paper and placed between tempered-glass or stainless-steel separator plates.
03
Loading onto the Lift Table
The prepared layups and separator plates are manually placed on the non-powered roller tabletop of the hydraulic lift table.
04
Layer Alignment and Feeding
The lift table travels along the floor rails, adjusts to the required working-layer height, and aligns with the two-layer hot press. The material is then manually pushed into the press.
05
Hot Press Forming
The hot press applies the preset temperature, hydraulic pressure, and holding time to consolidate and cure the carbon fiber prepreg sheets.
06
Unloading, Cooling and Inspection
After forming, the sheets are removed using the lift table, cooled naturally, and inspected for dimensions, thickness, flatness, and surface quality.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Frequently Asked
Questions
What products can this production line manufacture?
The production line is designed primarily for manufacturing flat carbon fiber sheets from prepreg. Sheet dimensions, thickness, layup structure, and surface requirements can be customized.
How does the two-layer hot press improve production efficiency?
The press provides two working layers, allowing two groups of carbon fiber prepreg sheets to be formed during one production cycle. Actual capacity depends on sheet size, layup quantity, and forming time.
How are materials loaded into the hot press?
The hydraulic roller lift table travels along floor rails and adjusts to the required working-layer height. The operator then manually pushes the separator plates and prepreg layups into the press over the non-powered rollers.
Can the forming temperature, pressure, and time be adjusted?
Yes. Temperature, hydraulic pressure, and holding time can be set according to the prepreg type, sheet thickness, layup structure, and curing process.
Does the production line include cooling equipment?
The standard process uses natural cooling after unloading. Dedicated cooling equipment or a cooling station can be configured if required by the customer’s process.
Can the lift table match both working layers?
Yes. The lifting height can be adjusted to align with both working positions of the two-layer hot press for loading and unloading.
Can the production line be customized for our workshop?
Yes. The press configuration, roller table size, lifting range, rail direction, loading area, cooling area, control system, and overall layout can be customized.
