  • System and method for manufacturing reinforcing elements for reinforced concrete
    Patent number: 11661377
    Abstract: A system (15) for manufacturing a reinforcing element (1) for reinforced concrete comprises a feeder (16) of a reinforcing fiber bundle (2) along a pultrusion path (4), an impregnating device (17) which impregnates the reinforcing fiber bundle (2) with a liquid thermoplastic polymeric resin (6) to obtain an impregnated fiber bundle (2), a forming channel (8) through which the impregnated fiber bundle (2) is conducted, a solidification device (19) of the composite thread (9) forming a solidified thermoplastic fiber-reinforced bar (11), a pulling device (20) which holds the reinforcing fiber bundle (2) taut along the pultrusion path (4), a winder (21) which winds the solidified bar (11) to form a coil (14), a provisional bending device (22) which bends the composite thread (9) not yet solidified or heats the solidified bar (11) to soften it, bends the heated bar (11) and then cools the bar (11) to solidify it again, so as to confer a continuous provisional curvature to the solidified bar (11) in the direction o
