For efficiency and productivity in splicing procedures, Shaw Almex is pleased to offer the custom-built frame press. With a rugged two-piece design, the RAB offers simplified assembly and reduced set-up time. RAB presses are well-suited for large, open sites and require access to an overhead crane for placement. Built with unmatched Almex technology, the RAB is constructed with the following proven components:
PLATENS: Each RAB press is constructed with Almex flexible platens that contour to the conveyor belt surface during splicing. Platens are individually designed and include extruded plank, silicone heating elements (up to 163°C / 325°F), and durable composite insulating packaging. Sturdy electrical connectors and moisture-proof latch enhance press durability.
WELDED FRAMES: With rugged, welded construction, upper and lower frames of RAB press are ideal for both field applications in severe mining environments and repetitive shop use. Fitted rings and brackets allow RAB to be positioned over splice areas by an overhead crane. Top and bottom frames connected by secure bolt/nut system. Optional retraction system available.
CONTROL PANEL: Engineered for use with T3 or T4 control panels (housed in rugged aluminum boxes), RAB can accommodate 230 to 600 volts. T4 can manage higher number of amps. Dual Omron digital temperature control and indication system ensures accurate heat.
PRESSURE/COOLING: HPP20-4 pump with a 3/4 HP motor and 75 litre (19.8 US Gal) reservoir allows easy application of pressure up to 14 kg/cm2 (200psi). Extra reservoirs easily added for larger presses. Cooling option available (HPPC20-4).
