A composite autoclave plays a critical role in the manufacturing of advanced composite materials. These specialized pressure vessels are used for curing carbon fiber (such as thermosets and thermoplastics), fiberglass, Kevlar, and resin-based components that must withstand demanding performance requirements. Industries such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and energy rely on these systems to produce lightweight yet strong parts with precision and consistency. Taricco Corporation has been providing industrial autoclaves and related thermal-processing equipment since 1987, bringing decades of knowledge and engineering experience to every project. As one of the leading autoclave manufacturers in the United States, Taricco continues to set the standard for reliability and engineering excellence.
Why Choose Taricco Composite Autoclaves
We’re known for building and refurbishing composite autoclaves that meet rigorous standards for quality and safety. Every autoclave is manufactured in the United States with strict compliance to ASME and National Board requirements. By combining engineering expertise with hands-on fabrication, Taricco offers equipment that supports both small-scale production and large-scale composite processing. Clients benefit from the choice of either brand-new autoclaves or fully renovated used models, each backed by dependable service and support. We stand out as autoclave manufacturers for our ability to customize solutions and deliver systems that integrate seamlessly into any production line.
Capabilities and Applications
Our composite autoclaves are engineered for processes such as curing, bonding, and consolidating composite structures. These processes are essential for creating parts that must perform under demanding conditions. Aerospace manufacturers rely on our autoclaves for producing wings, fuselage components, and structural reinforcements. Automotive firms use them for lightweight body panels and high-strength structural pieces. Defense contractors and energy companies also use these systems to manufacture specialized equipment.
Taricco’s product line extends beyond composite curing autoclaves, with other industrial autoclaves and ovens supporting applications in a wide variety of thermal processing requirements. This versatility allows manufacturers to handle multiple production requirements using Taricco-built systems.
Custom Engineering and Sizes
Composite autoclave requirements can vary greatly depending on the part being produced. Taricco offers a range of diameters, lengths, and pressure ratings to suit small components to large structures. Heating options include indirect gas-fired or electrically powered systems, with advanced cooling methods available for faster cycle times. By offering a range of choices, Taricco provides clients with equipment built for their specific production environment, whether that involves aerospace structures or high-volume automotive components.
Autoclave Control System (TCS™)
Every composite autoclave is paired with Taricco’s proprietary autoclave control system (TCS™). This advanced software and hardware platform gives operators the ability to precisely control and monitor critical variables such as temperature, pressure, and vacuum. Multi-zone heating and cooling controls allow uniform curing across all parts, while the data acquisition system records process results for quality assurance. Networking capabilities and remote monitoring improve convenience and reliability.
Installation, Training, and Support
Delivering an autoclave is only part of the service. Taricco manages installation, calibration, and testing so that equipment is production-ready. Operators receive training on the autoclave and autoclave control system, covering every function needed to run reliable curing cycles. Long-term support over the productive life of the equipment includes maintenance, repairs, and access to technical assistance as well as rebuild and upgrades as technology advances. This level of service gives clients confidence that their investment will remain dependable throughout its lifecycle.
Compliance and Safety Standards
All Taricco autoclaves carry ASME “U” Stamp certification and are registered with the National Board. Safety is a central part of the design, from reinforced vessel construction to integrated control safeguards. These measures align with requirements across governing bodies and are widely accepted across industries such as aerospace and defense, where compliance is non-negotiable. By combining engineering precision with strict certification, Taricco delivers equipment that supports both performance and safety.
