CareerService

The Gruppo Cannon is an Italian multinational, world leader in the field of machines and systems for the production of polyurethane items (refrigerators, auto parts, insulation panels, etc.). The skills acquired in the mixing of resin reagents and in the moulding of PU products can also be applied to other materials which we are testing in our R&D laboratories in Caronno Pertusella (VA) and which we hope will prove technologically interesting at the international level, both from an academic as well as industrial point of view.

Within the scope of these innovative research areas we would like to get in touch with Graduation Candidates in Chemical, Materials and Mechanical Engineering with good scholastic results, strongly motivated to face the challenge individually and in teams on specific projects, possibly the subject of theses, and with strong interest in the R&D and DESIGN functions.

Among the research projects to be developed:

MIXING AREA – R&D

• Development of an innovative epoxy resin degassing system and investigation of a residual gas measurement method
• Investigation on the types of carbon fibre composite springs, identification of interesting characteristics, development of the corresponding mould and of the prototype formation technology.
• Development of an impregnation system for carbon fibre composites via mixing and injection of resins at high pressure in order to reduce forming and de-moulding time to approx. 200 - 300 seconds
• Methods for the recovery of recycled carbon fibre, development of the re-impregnation technology, development of prototypes and characterisation of the same

Among the machine projects to be industrialised:

DOSING MACHINE AREA - DESIGN

• Identification of dosing machine types for dual-component structural glues, design of the dosing machine and of the cord distribution system
  
  
• Analysis of the characteristics and design of a unit for premixing noble gases and expanding liquid agents at high pressure with polyurethane resins
  
  
• Prototyping of a plant for the formation of insulation panels and insulating coatings for pipes at the Bayer Laboratory in Germany
  
  
• Analysis and development of a quality control system for the application of connections at high pressure to flexible hoses

The young people who will develop the items listed in our technical department will have the opportunity to address interesting and extremely topical technological issues and technical challenges. They will benefit from the experience and availability of our technical staff and have the opportunity to acquire both professional growth in terms of application knowledge and techniques as well as an equally valid experience from the human relations point of view.
