INTEGRA is an Italian company , with thirty years experience in the production of coatings and components used in the construction , reconditioning, aesthetic and components changes for ambulances and commercial vehicles , made of composite material and fibre reinforced resin . The production is developed with innovative moulding techniques that provide a valid product with a very high standard of finishing . Integra offers first class services in terms of product availability, fast production and accuracy in delivery, but we also offer consultancy services for assembly process or research of new solutions .

Integra offer is addressed mainly to ambulance manufacturer but also small and bigger workshops and garages that re-condition the emergency vehicles, the commercial or industrial vehicle, the workshops that customizes the vehicles or workshops specialised in special vehicle preparation as well as to dealers.

INTEGRA also addresses to those interestsed in becoming ambulace manufacturers or to those who want to start a new business or to enrich their activity with a new professional skill.

The transfer of " know-how ", instructions and assistance to the installation process, education and training of the workers, are all added values that INTEGRA is able to provide, and that will allow also to those who are less experienced, to become ambulance manufacturer/ or to easily install the products .

The products, supplied individually or in assembly kits, are made in Italy by a company organized and certified ISO 9001 : 2008 . The product destined to the ambulances conversion, complies with European standard EN 1789

KNOW-HOW

We have experience in putting up, both in Italy and abroad, plants for the production of ambulances of small, medium or big dimensions.
The long-standing experience gained in the supply of products in kit for the fitting out of ambulances in foreign countries through our active participation in the organisation of the production, allow us to transfer the "know-how" in any part of the world.
We are therefore competent and ready to help creating, if requested, small or big ambulance production plants. By means of consultancies we verify the feasibility of the project, the needs of the territory, the production needs (buildings, systems and tools), estimating and assessing the economic investment needed for the start up phase.
The consultancies will also be addressed to the choice and development of the human resources that will be trained to develop the productive activities in Lean Production with the aim to make the factory autonomous, fully in control and profitable.

The RTM (Resin Transfer Mouldng) processing method.
This technique is generally used to produce items in composite materials of small dimension that need a good finishing of the surface on both sides of the item. Through a timed machine, a controlled quantity of resin is injected at low pressure in a mould closed by a counter-mould in order to reach every single corner of the mould. The mould is prepared beforehand with a layer of Gelcoat and mats. Only when the material (fiber and resin) is completely solidified and dried inside the mould, the item can be pulled out.
The injection lamination method
The injection lamination method is a technology that uses the vacuum to guide the resin inside the laminate. The materials are set dry inside the mould, this last is wrapped by a highly-deformable thermoplastic bag, hermetically fixed to the flanges through which the vacuum is applied. The vacuum sucks out the air trapped among the layers and the sucked resin flows easily through the fibres thanks to the prepared network.
Manual laminating method
Manual laminating method and with "cut and spray" machine consists in the use of a mould where, after the application of the gelcoat, are laid layers of composite mats (from fibreglass mats to Kevlar or Carbon mats) saturated with vinyl or epoxy liquid resin. The structure is after reinforced with the use of PVC or Balsa and the covered again with a new layer of mats (the so called "sandwich"). In case of use of "cut and spray" machine, the mat is laid already sutured of resin, directly from the machine, that automatically spray, on the mould, The cut mat and the resin. Thanks to the aid of this technology , the resin penetrate inside the fibre under the action of the vacuum that can be pushed up to 1 bar. By consequence the layers of the laminates are perfect glued and the risk of damaging detachments or delaminations are drastically reduced. The specific item resistance are actually, increased: the increment of the Gc (meaning the percentage of the fibres content) leads to have the same structural resistance also for thinner thicknesses.
The use of these innovative technologies gives huge improvements to the environmental and working conditions. The vacuum imprisons the volatile elements under the vacuum-bag thus granting a great benefit to the workers.
Where the product is created
the product is created in a modern plant where components and items, of the most different sectors, come to life. The job is organised in three teams: one team is dedicated to the maintenance and preparation of the moulds, another one to the injection moulding process and the last one to the assembly of the components.
The production process
mainly used, RTM, consists in the injection of the resin in a controlled and pre-set quantity between two moulds, a female and a male. The distance between the two moulds is preset and define the thickness we want our item to be. The composite is not anymore in threads but becomes mat, and it will be saturated with the resin during the injection phase. The injection phase is helped and eased by the creation of a depression that has the double function to create the vacuum and therefore the perfect closing of the moulds and the suction that eases the flow of the resin between two moulds.
The phase of the extraction of the item from the mould
the item is extracted from the mould only when the material (fibre and resin) is completely solidified inside the mould. For this it is necessary a definite " cooling time ". It is, in any case, necessary to lubricate beforehand the mould if you want to extract the item whole. The lubrication is obtained by distributing on the internal surface of the mould a lubricating was that eases the detachment and grants the quality and the integrity of the item
The product assembly phase
a team in a fully equipped space, receives the items extracted from the moulds and proceeds with the assembly of components thus preparing wall panels with inserts, drawer cabinets, furniture, panels, ceiling panels, spoilers and other components.
