The University of Manchester awarded a contract to CYGNET TEXKIMP Limited for a High Temperature and Pressure Steam Rig for Polymer-Composite Disassembly (HTSPD).

The equipment is for the Henry Royce Institute (HRI) at the University of Manchester, which operates as a Hub and Spoke model with the Hub at Manchester and spokes at the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London.

The steam recycling system will recover fibres from prepregs and composites, clean epoxy-based composites, facilitate recovery of fibres largely intact, and collect polymer residue for evaluation.

The equipment will be located at The University of Manchester.
