- 2 piece frame = quick field setup
- Hinged bolts
- #1 overland belt splicing press
Customized and rugged, these rectangular two-piece frame presses offer simplified assembly, reducing set-up time. Frame presses are well-suited for large, open sites. Use the AB for on-site splice stations or where overhead cranes are available.
- A two piece welded aluminum frame
- Quick setup in the field
- Bolts can retract and store in the frame (optional)
Features
- Signature Almex "Pressure Bag" uniform pressure system.
- Custom "Extruded Plank" cooling system within platens.
- Durable "Silicone Element" heating system, custom designed to voltage phase and cycle.
- Exceptional remote digital contol.
- Interfaces with ALMEXPAD Junior and Senior tablets.
- Accurate temperature control and indication.
- Can be aligned side-by-side for longer splice areas and easier handling.
- Operating pressures of 7kg/cm2 (100psi) to 14kg/cm@ (200psi).
Temperature Control Panels available with ground fault and ground continuity monitoring.
WELDED FRAMES
With rugged welded construction, the upper and lower frames of the press are ideal for both field applications in severe mining environments and repetitive shop use. The fitted rings and brackets allow this frame press to be positioned over splice areas with an overhead crane. The top and bottom frames secure around the splice with our unique bolt/nut system. A bolt retraction system, with the bars storing in the frame when not in use, is available.
PLATENS
Each frame press is constructed with aluminum flexible platens that contour to the conveyor belt surface during splicing. Platens are individually designed and include extruded plank, silicone heating elements-heating up to 163°C/325°F, and durable composite insulating packaging. Sturdy electrical connectors and moisture-proof latches enhance press durability and longevity.
PRESSURE/COOLING
Models of Fluid Pump suitable for the AB: HP25MAX, HPP-204, C100, C300, HPPC500 The HP25MAX pump has an extruded 94.6L/25US Gal reservoir and larger run-flat tires that is light weight and rugged. The pump flow rate is higher than our HPP series. The HPP20-4 pump with a 3/4HP motor and 75 litre/19.8 US Gal reservoir allows easy application or pressure up to 14 kg/cm2/200psi. The pump includes gauges for fluid level and pressure. Extra reservoirs can be easily added for larger presses. Cooling options are also available (HPPC20-4).
CONTROLS
Models of Control Box suitable for the AB: SG1, T6, T4
TheSG1 Switchgear Box incorporates controls for 4 platens. The SG1 also has input for 8 themocouple leads to monitor platen temperature. An ALMEXPAD with the SG1 can wirelessly transmit platen temperature, dwell time, operating pressure and splice time, allowing splice data to be stored and recalled. An ALMEXPAD Senior controls both air compressors and cooling pumps to completely automate the splice cycle.
Alternatively, Almex has a series of T6 control boxes available for controlling and monitoring temperature and pressure. T6 models are available with data logging, cooling controls or as ground fault control.
