Laminate Manufacturing by Micafil-Technology
Generator Rotor and Stator Insulation made of Resolam®, Vetresit® and Vetrelam®
Our generator insulation products manufacted by Micafil-technology are found in many power plants distributed all over the world. We are a key supplier to OEM and repair workshops. In our portfolio we have almost all customized products that are required for rotor and stator insulation. This includes various types of slot channels, many customized machined rotor parts made out of semi-finished plates and customized molded shaped parts. Moreover, we offer upper and lower stator wedges as a stator wedge kit and stator winding support mechanical fastenings.
We manufacture laminates in our own factory by Micafil-technology:
- Laminates made of Resolam® consist of several layers of aromatic polyamide fiber paper (Nomex) and are laminated at high pressure and temperature.
- Laminates made of Vetresit® consist of several layers of heat resistant epoxy resin reinforced with glass fabric laminated at high pressure and temperature.
- Laminates made of Vetrelam® consist of several layers of heat resistant epoxy resin reinforced with glass fabric and aromatic polyamide fiber paper (Nomex®).
The material selection allows a customized characteristic regarding mechanical and electrical strength, and resistance to high temperatures and moisture.
Applications
Our laminates are mainly used as slot liners and cover channels in generators or in other demanding power generation applications. Many other applications outside of the power generation can be served by our flat or shaped laminates as well.
Micafil is in a position to offer a complete kit of generator insulation including tailor-made solutions:
- Slot liner
- Cover channel
