The production process of glass fiber wrapped rovings is a complex and delicate process. Firstly, the selection and preparation of raw materials. High quality glass raw materials are usually used, and strict screening and proportioning are carried out to ensure that the purity and chemical composition of the raw materials meet production requirements. These glass raw materials are heated to a molten state in a high-temperature furnace, and then flow out in the form of extremely fine fiber bundles through special leak plates.

Next is the wire drawing process. During the drawing process, molten glass is drawn into glass fiber filaments with uniform diameter. This process requires precise control of parameters such as drawing speed, temperature, and tension to ensure the quality and performance of glass fiber filaments. The drawn glass fiber filaments are bundled into yarn and then subjected to oiling treatment to form a protective film on the surface of the yarn, improving its wear resistance and flexibility.

Finally, there is the wrapping process. Wrap the bundled glass fiber rovings onto the core mold using a winding device according to a certain pattern and angle to form the desired product shape. The accuracy and stability of the winding process directly affect the quality and performance of the product. For example, in the manufacture of pressure vessels, precise winding angles and densities can ensure that the vessel has sufficient strength and pressure resistance.
