Description
Zhongyou Heavy Industry has manufactured a batch of 315-metric-tonne hydraulic presses for a renowned drone manufacturer; these are specialised hot-moulding hydraulic presses designed for the production of carbon-fibre drones.
Suitable Products and Raw Materials
1. Processing drone components
Small parts: carbon-fibre propellers, arms, motor mounts, gimbal housings, small aerial photography drone casings
Medium to large components: Fuselages, tail units, wings, landing gear, large-sized housings and load-bearing structural components for crop protection and surveying drones
2. Suitable composite materials
Thermosetting processes: Carbon fibre epoxy prepregs, carbon fibre SMC/BMC, carbon-glass fibre composites, carbon fibre mat resin composites
Thermoplastic processes: PP/PEEK carbon fibre sheets
Core advantages of the equipment (for carbon fibre drones)
High moulding precision: Uniform pressure and precise temperature control ensure excellent dynamic balance of propeller blades; fuselage surface dimensional tolerances ≤0.05 mm, eliminating the need for extensive sanding
Elimination of defects: Low-speed venting + staged pressure relief prevents porosity, delamination, material shortages and warping, thereby enhancing drone strength and flight endurance
High Process Versatility: Simply by changing the mould, the full range of carbon fibre components—including propellers, fuselages, arms and landing gear—can be produced
Automation Options: Automatic feed-in and feed-out via linear slides, and loading/unloading via robotic arms; one operator can oversee multiple presses
Durable and Stable: Age-hardened fuselages remain distortion-free under long-term heavy loads; integrated oil circuits minimise leakage; suitable for 24-hour mass production
