Vulcaweld is the superior press for splicing lightweight rubber conveyor belting. With increased pressure capacity, the Vulcaweld is designed for rubber conveyors that do not require heavyweight splice equipment.
Features
- Specially engineered for lightweight rubber belt splicing, with a pressure capacity of 5 bar (75 psi)
- Custom built to order
- Standard platen width is 8" (200mm)
- Press lengths: 14"-124" (355mm-3150mm)
- Weight: smaller models - 55 lbs (25kg), large models - 1,036 lbs (470kg)
Product Information
Options:
- Cantilever Stand
-Pneumatic Upper platen Option - Downstroking Model (VWP)
- Belt Clamps
Synthetic Boards Option:
A set of synthetic boards 1/8" (3 mm) each can be purchased for placement in the stainless steel clamp fixture. These boards provide excellent heat transfer and reasonable good pressure transfer which allow no heat escape beyond the platen, providing a smoother splice. This option is recommended where superior finish is required.
PLATENS
Assembled with extruded plank, silicone heating element, and durable composite insulating packaging, each platen is flexible and will contour to the irregularities of the conveyor (assuring uniform pressure). Operational temperatures of 163ºC to 200ºC (325ºF to 392ºF).
FRAME
Sturdy two-piece aluminum frame is light and easy to maneuver for splice placement. Frame can be mounted to cantilever stand for shop use; pneumatic lift optional for upper platen, making for easier use and decreased splice time.
PRESSURE/COOLING
Engineered for lightweight rubber belt. Vulcaweld has a maximum pressure of 5kg/cm2 (75 psi). Uniform pressure applied with unique Almex pressure bag. Up-stroking pressure is standard but down-stroking design optional. Cooling fluid channeled through extruded platen using C1M or C1 cooling applicator.
CONTROL PANEL
Available Control Box Models for the VWP: T1, T2, T6
T1R, T2, and T6 Control Panels available to accommodate various amp and volt requirements. Enhanced panels with additional timer (T2T and T6T) or fully automatic operation feature, including pressure and cooling functions, available (T2TC and T6TC) thermo couple leads & connector to panel. Air control panel for hinging & locking pressurization.
