| New blade repair system  Gurit, a global supplier of composite materials and technical solutions to the Wind Energy market, launched its new Blade Repair System, RENUVO. The RENUVO blade repair system offers a fresh and novel approach to the blade repair market, addressing many of the practical issues that have prevented more effective and expedient maintenance programs. Addressing damage arising from production, transportation and in-field use, the RRENUVO blade repair system provides the solution. A wider weather window for repair has been achieved by the working temperature range starting at +5C. Traditional wet laminating materials must normally be used above +15C as they can suffer from bi-product and handling issues. Summer and Winter grade versions of the RENUVO MPS (Multi-Purpose System) and RENUVO PP (Prepreg) are available to cope with most conditions. The RENUVO product range has transformed the conditions for repair by using UV light from the RENUVO Lamp Technology to cure materials in minutes. A spot lamp is available for simple maintenance repairs with a higher intensity product available for deeper structural repairs using RENUVO PP. Both lamps are available exclusively from Gurit. Summary of benefits: Over 50% reduction in structural repair time Low odour, zero VOC resin Styrene and amine-free GL Certification pending product range Extended weather window for repair from +5C Zero post-cure for repair Compatible with all types of blade construction including prepreg, epoxy infusion and polyester infusion Rudolf Gerber, General Manager Wind Energy comments, "Gurit is committed to helping reduce the cost of wind energy. As more capacity is installed the efficiency of turbines is becoming increasingly reliant on the Operations and Maintenance strategy. RENUVO will help our customers maximise revenue in this difficult environment". write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
