The One-Shot Technology® is a special moulding process developed by Jupiter in 1990. The technology has industrialized the production of parts made of fibre reinforced resins and divided it into five separate well-defined steps.

The One-Shot Technology® is based on a principle of distributing the resin automatically in a closed casting mould system via vacuum – improving the working environment and quality significantly. The One-Shot Technology® results in higher quality due to a reduced use of resin ratio and thus higher fibre content. |
The technology also ensures a clearly defined repeatability – using the same mould over and over again.
Jupiter’s solution is based on a “sandwich construction technology”. A sandwich construction consists of two sheets or layers of laminate, encapsulating a distance material – foam, balsa wood and the like – with the purpose of reducing material consumption as well as weight and giving the product the desired strength and durability. |

Scandinavia is on the absolute forefront, when it comes to developing sandwich constructions based on fibre reinforced resins. Scandinavia – Denmark in particular – is therefore a global R&D hub within this area.
Jupiter’s R&D Department is based in Denmark, and we are conducting specific research, development and testing as regards high-quality, low-weight sandwich constructions for all our products.
The production process is initiated, when a certain product has gone through the product development phase.
Materials used in the production process are glass mats, foam, resin, gel coat and steel, which combined create a strong structure that is lighter, less expensive and more flexible and less material fatigue than other materials such as metals.
A complete production process of a component can be conducted within six hours, depending on the specific type of mixture and curing agent used for the component as well as the climate of the production site (time of curing). Jupiter’s production facilities in China provide an optimal climate for the production of composite components.
The production process is split into five phases. |
