Improving Efficiency and Quality with Closed Molding Techniques

April 05, 2023 |

In this webinar, MVP technical experts will evaluate a variety of methods and the latest techniques in closed molding processes.

Manufacturers are adopting closed molding composite processes for benefits such as reduced waste, lower emissions and to achieve consistency and repeatability. With so many processes and options, identifying and implementing the right method can seem daunting. Magnum Venus Products (MVP), a global provider of fluid movement and production solutions, has been a leader in closed molding technology since its inception. With equipment, accessories and years of knowledge and experience working with manufacturers, MVP offers comprehensive solutions and support for closed molding. In this webinar, MVP technical experts will evaluate a variety of methods and the latest techniques in closed molding processes. Attendees will learn specifically about MVP's Fast Flow LRTM process which was developed to meet faster cure times for large parts using high-viscosity resins such as fire-retardant materials. Additionally, another process improvement to be showcased is MVP's SVB Seal, which replaces single-use sealant tapes and improves part quality and consistency.

Charles Tur

Closed Molding Specialist

Charles Tur began his career in the composites industry over 20 years ago and in that time has built a reputation as an expert in the technology of resin transfer molding (RTM) and infusion. After years of owning and operating his own composites company, Charles made the move to head up the technical support and sales for Chomarat, a French-based company that manufactures glass weaves. During his six years there, Charles did over 300 presentations in 30 countries on the light RTM process and was involved in the development of new product implementation such as Rovidécor, Rovifoam, Roviplast and more. In 2005, Charles decided to strike out on his own and become and independent consultant available to train designers, mold makers and production personnel in the process of closed mold production. As Ardeche Composites Consulting, his services included technical follow-up, initial feasibility studies, methods for optimizing production, training and more. During this time, he also continued to survey the development of new processes that would improve his client's production methods. In 2007, Charles took on a new challenge and started with MVP as its closed molding specialist. Bringing his years of knowledge and experience, Charles now leads consultation, planning, installation, training and problem solving for customers at their facilities.
