Composite Recycler: Fiber Reclaimer
Sponsored by JCATI
Intro:
​
Boeing uses composites for their 777x wings, after making their wings there is leftover scraps. A method for recycling these extra scraps is to shred the wing scraps in smaller pieces, once the wings get shredded the scraps can be heated up to remove the resin from the composite.
​
Furthering the Project:
To further this project going forward the scope of the project can increase. This means instead of doing a few grams of shredded material at a time doing one wing full of shredded material at a time. Also this project uses a toaster oven, with a conveyor belt that is not being used, in the future the conveyor belt can be utilized to increase the speed of the recycling process.
