Description 

Workshop press made in aluminium. Available for several belt widths, from 650mm up to 2000mm (superior dimensions under request). The vulcanizer includes pneumatic pressure system, heating system and cooling+blowing system. Composed by 2 parts, top and bottom. Straight angle heating plates that include the silicone heating elements, cooling system and the temperature probes. Lengths of platen available: 350mm, 500mm, 600mm & 700mm (14”, 20”, 24” y 28”). Completely automatic process programmed from the control unit (heating, dwell time and cooling).

Lifting System

From the two-hand operator desk the top part of the press may be lifted up. Incorporates a fall-protection system and an air-lock system. The guide pin correctly centers top and bottom parts during lowering the first one.

Controllers

Easy to program control unit. Automatic control of the whole splicing process once the melting temperature of both platens, the dwell time, the cooling temperature and the pressure have been set. The control box features an Automatic Temperature Regulation System (ATRS), that monitors automatically the differences of temperature between the heating platens during heating and dwell time. By doing so, differences of more than 2ºC are avoided. Includes voltmeter for input voltage reading that allows to detect any problem in the power supply. Includes also a pressure regulator, manometer and pneumatic valve with quick inflation and deflation. Automatic end-of-cycle buzzer. 

Pressure System

The pressure is applied to the belt by means of pressure bags. 7 bar (100PSI) maximum pressure.

Heating System

Fast heating of the platens by means of silicone heating elements. Each one is made with an asymmetrical winding to supply an even heat distribution all along the belt. The elements get warmer on the ends to compensate the loss of temperature and avoid heat concentration in the middle. Temperature programable up to 200º C / 392º F.

Cooling System

Water cooling system composed by a closed stainless steel circuit, that help circulate water all along the platens propelled by a water pump. Water favours a rapid temperature reduction of the belt and reduces waiting time for a new use of the press. Cooling and blowing systems (to remove all the water inside the platens) activates automatically after dwell time finishes.

Bolts

Easily adjustable to different belt thicknesses. Steel made with safety factor 2 (capable of withstanding twice the maximum load pressure of the press). Bolts may be ordered to be fixed on top or bottom part.
