FRP CABLE TRAY :

EPP FRP Cable Trays are made from FRP sections made of glass
Fibre and Isopthalic resins by highly sophisticated pultrusion
plant and are widely used in various industries for their
numerous advantages over traditional metallic cable trays
systems


Pultrusion Process
pultrusion is the process of "pulling" raw composites
through a heated die creating a continuous composite
profile.

Pultrusion Process (3D view)
Cable Tray Raw Material
Resin
- Resin used mainly are Unsaturated Poly Ester Resin, Isopthalic
Resin
- It is available in low or medium viscosity which can be used for
fabrication of a wide range of FRP structures by hand lay-up,
filament winding and other conventional fabricating techniques.
Laminates made by this gives corrosion resistance, excellent
mechanical strength, both static and dynamic, etc.
Chopped Strand mat
Surface mat use to fabricate first layer of GRP material which
made from very thin glass fiber strands.
Chopped Strand Mat used in liner are made of chopped glass
fiber strands that are bonded together to form mats, either with
emulsion or powder binder. They are designed to be compatible
with resin, and are used to reinforce laminate for molding
application.
Glass roving
It is a continuous type of reinforcement that is used for filament
winding and other such process where high axial as well as hoop
strength is of prime requirement.
Design Codes

Designing of various pultruded structure is done as per the actual
measured strength of profiles.

EN 13706 applies solely to pultruded profiles .This standard
specifies the minimum requirement of quality, tolerances,
strength, stiffness and surface of structural profiles. It categories
in two part like E23 & E17

The EPP CTS are manufactured as per;

1. NEMA FG 1: 1993 Rev. 1 (1994)
2. IS 6746: 1994
3. ONGC 4000 S
4. EIL 50 OEDS 422 Rev. 4


We have inhouse 24 design engineers working on softwares like
Nastran, Auto cad, Unigraphix etc





Analysis of Structures & Design
Structure anlalyzed by using
NASTRAN 8.0

We can predict intial deflection
and other values to check design
and validate it.

Theoretical analysis also
performed as per define in
standards.

EPP Manufactures 2 types of Cable Trays,

a) Ladder Type Cable Tray

b) Perforated Type Cable Tray

with cover and without cover is available.


Perforated Type
Ladder Type

Features

1. Full Ventilation

2. Long Support Spans

3.Corrosion Resistance

4. Transparent to Radio Frequency
transmission

5. Non Conductive and Non Magnetic

6. Light weight and Manageable

7. High Strength to Weight Ratio

8. Fire Retardants
Manufacturing


1. Cable trays are fabricated products from
pultruded profile.

2. After manufacturing various pultruded section,
fabrication and assembly done as per standard
drawings.

SS -304 & SS 316 fasteners are use to
fabricate various cable trays.

1. As per the amount of cable load, selection of
profile takes place like 100 C Channel
4mm/150 C channel 6mm etc.

2. Standard length available for cable tray is 3.0
meter. And Maximum Support span distance
depends upon weight of Cable.

Manufacturing



6. As per defined category A/B/C allowable load
is defined for designed FRP cable Tray.

7. Thermal Expansion & Contraction of trays due to
variation in temperature is very important factor
which need to take in consideration during
installation of GRP cable Tray.

8. Cable Trays designed for both UDL &
Concentrated load and also tested for both as
specified in standard.

9. To match the sizes and load criteria of cables ,
trays are available in various width starting
from 80 mm to 900 mm.

10. 1.5 times is the safety factor




Ladder Type Cable Tray

1.These are manufactured by assembling various cross sections like side runners / C channels and rungs.
2.The rungs / unistruts are inverted channels of 40 mm width x 20 mm depth and 4 mm thickness.
3.Cable Tray thickness depends height of Cable Tray
4.Space between rungs is 300 mm
5.The Cable Ladder tray length is the length of the side runner / C channels. It is 3000 mm .
6.Cable Trays are joined using coupler plates
