Product description
3.1
Components
Heating presses are electrical heating devices for use in fabricating (splicing) belting material that
can withstand maximum temperatures of 210°C. Heating presses are used to splice endlessly belting
material using pressure and temperature. Depending on the requirement we differentiate between
different designs and types.
The heating press consists of the following components and functional groups:
Functional group Components
Top part
Pressure beam
Pressure hose
Heating plate
USB-contact
Temperature control unit
Compressor
Compressed air regulator with
display
Handles
Connecting cable of the heating
plates
Plug-in contact
Bottom part
Pressure beam
Heating plate
Ventilators for cooling
Eye bolt with collar nut
Plug-in contact for connecting
cable
Mechanical hold-down bars (not
included in the scope of deliv-
ery)
3.2
How it works
In the closed heating press pressure and temperature are generated between the top and bottom
part and the electrically heated heating plates in supplying compressed air; this causes the melting
of the inserted belting material as well as the splicing after a prescribed period (heating-up time and
hold-down-time). Once cooled down, the finished splice has got the physical features required.
For further information on how the heating press functions, see chapter "5 Handling".
