OUR CAPABILITIES
In-house Fibreglass Manufacturing
With the ever-growing demand for SPEL fibreglass products [Puraceptor, Stormceptor, Triceptor, Ecoceptor, Vortceptor, Hydrosystem and Tankstor] – the SPEL manufacturing facilities located in Sydney gives us the advantage and ability to hold every stage of the manufacturing process to the highest standard. This ensures supply requirements are met on time.
Since our inception in 1972, SPEL has strived to be the ground-breaking leader for environmental authorities to see the safety enhancement capabilities, environmental compliance, and spill protection ability of two-chamber, Class 1 Oil-Water separators, and hydrocarbon spill containment tanks. We aim to manufacture Australian-made stormwater treatment systems and ensure quality assets that can treat stormwater for generations.
Design & Delivery
Having control from the design stage to delivery allows us to maintain high levels of quality control and increased consistency across the range of our products. Quality and consistency are not the only benefits of having in-house manufacturing – the ability to hold stock, and project accurate supply and delivery times, ensures our customers are better informed and prepared to meet their project timelines.
What Is Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
FRP is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Its is a chemically reinforced type of material that is composed of a thermoset resin matrix and engineered fibers to improve durability. FRPs are widely used for several industrial applications due to their improved physical characteristic.
- Ultra Helical Filament Winder.
- Capacity – 1.2M to 4M.
- 8M wind length on all diameters.
- Winding glass monitoring system and material monitoring system.
- Filament winding is controlled through a Computer control program.
- The Operator inputs variables such as part diameter, part length, wind angle and winding band width, and the computer then calculates the best winding pattern available from the given parameters.
- Winding Patterns are stored on computer disk for use on repetitive products, eliminating the need for entering new a new program each time a repetitive product is run.
- Winding programs will provide the machine in an automatic mode for helical winding, chop/hoop winding, chop spray winding, hoop winding and roll goods application.
- Winding program will control three basic winding functions:
- Helical Wind: Winding angles from 15- 90 degrees can be wound using bandwidths from 1” (25.4mm) to 8” (203mm).
- Hoop Wind: Used for hoop applications including hoop winding and winding roll goods
- Liner Spray: The control system controls the winding carriage to achieve programmed liner thickness.
- Operator inputs desired thickness, gun output, spray angle and mandrel speed. The control then calculates the correct number of winding passes and controls the carriage speed to achieve the correct thickness.
- 100 year life expectancy
- 25 year warranty
