These features further develop the fundamentals of a Ciject Two and create a more comprehensive yet flexible control platform for composites technology, whilst retaining a simple format for their end users.

The equipment is targeted specifically towards manufacturers who require precision control and accountability, with abilities for RTM, LRTM and infusion processes within one machine. The Ciject Two is already recognized for its well proven technology within a wide variety of sectors.

The Ciject Two range is capable of processing Epoxy, Polyester, Vinyl Ester and Phenolic resin systems, with low-cost conversion kits to enable a quick and easy change between material types. The ability to work with a variety of closed mould processes and be used to manufacture parts from less than 1kg shot size, to large structures greater than 1000kg, places the Ciject two as the most versatile machine in the market.
