Carbures revolutionizes the automotive industry

Carbures revolutionizes the automotive industry

On Monday, we pressed the accelerator in the automotive industry. We opened a factory at El Burgo de Osma, Soria; 2,600 square meters equipped with our patented technology, Rapid Multi Injection Compress Process (RMCP). It is a pioneer technology worldwide that consists of a robotic production line of car parts in carbon fiber in long series which is equal to long time traditional metal manufacturing. The industry drives towards manufacturing carbon fiber car parts and replace them for metal ones, aiming at producing more efficient cars. 

Manufacturers have developed engines greatly to pollute less but have an unfinished business of the sector will be to reduce the weight of cars. The EU drew up a regulation that penalizes polluting cars, so the race between manufacturers to make cleaner cars has already begun.

 

Carbures is in the pole position because has its own technology that enables the manufacture of carbon fiber car parts in cycles of three to six minutes per piece, the same time as that used for metal.And the metal is four times heavier and less resistant than 3.5 times the carbon fiber. That is, carbon car pollutes less, is more efficient and safer than metal interior.

The lack of technology was the last barrier preventing the sector producing cars in large quantities in composites. Our technology allows to manufacture up to 75,000 units a year of a piece of car for every production line. This industrial technology model is being replicated in Shanghai, China, for a Chinese customer, Shenyang Hengrui, who has bought seven manufacturing linears.

In the automotive industry and the manufacturing process of carbon fiber pieces, a production of 30,000 units per line of robots is considered as a long series.  Short one would be that of 5,000 pieces. The Company forecasts that long series can fluctuate between 30,000/50,000 units per year to 200,000. Normally structural pieces are the same in the different models that large car manufacturing Groups, owners of different brands, manufacture, so the production can get increase to 400,000 or 500,000 pieces per year.

“The growth potential that our RMCP technology provides the Company with is impressive from both the industrial and financial angles. The opening of the factory at El Burgo de Osma is a very relevant milestone not only for the Company but for society, as it will contribute to meeting demands for more efficient and less polluting vehicles. It means a revolution in the automotive industry of the world. Our industrial production capacity in long series of carbon fiber parts, positions Carbures at the forefront of the automotive industry,” says the Carbures Chairman, Mr. Rafael Contreras 

“We are in the first position of the start line and now we have to begin manufacturing” says our CEO, Jose Maria Tarrago.
