FRP production lines are designed to convert raw fiberglass roving and resin into finished composite profiles. The process is highly automated and allows continuous production of beams, rods, tubes, channels, and custom profiles.
Key Benefits:
High-speed mass production
Consistent quality and dimensions
Lower labor costs compared to manual lay-up methods
For industrial buyers, GTOFRP FRP Production Lines offer turnkey solutions tailored for structural and infrastructure applications.
Pultrusion is a continuous process where fiberglass reinforcement is pulled through a resin bath and shaped in a heated die. This creates uniform FRP profiles with high strength-to-weight ratios.
Creel System – feeds fiberglass rovings or mats.
Resin Impregnation Bath – ensures thorough wetting with resin.
Heated Die – shapes and cures the profile.
Pulling System – maintains constant pulling speed.
Cutting System – cuts finished profiles to length.

Customized Pultrusion Equipment – built for unique applications, such as hollow tubes, gratings, or complex cross-sections.
Construction: beams, channels, angles, and rebar.
Utilities: FRP poles, cable trays, and ladders.
Industrial: chemical-resistant gratings and tanks.
Transportation: lightweight panels, profiles, and reinforcements.
The cost of an FRP production line or pultrusion machine depends on capacity, level of automation, and profile type.
Small-Scale Pultrusion Machine: $25,000 – $60,000
Medium-Sized Production Line: $70,000 – $150,000
Fully Automated Large-Scale Line: $200,000+
Although the initial investment can be significant, the low operational costs and high-volume output make pultrusion one of the most cost-efficient FRP production methods.
The global FRP market is expected to surpass $130 billion by 2025, with pultrusion technology leading growth in construction and infrastructure.
Key Drivers:
Demand for corrosion-resistant rebar in bridges and highways
