ElasTek™ 4 Post Rubber Press: Description |
|
|
| This fully self-contained, 4 Post, 100 ton, Laboratory Rubber Press is ideally suited for high volume laboratories and small batch operations ... such as R&D and accelerated ‘ramp-ups’ from design-to-finish applications. |
| The Vickers™ 4,160 PSI (292.5 kg/cm²) hydraulic unit is mounted in the cabinet base and, being fully enclosed, reduces contamination of the surrounding environment. |
| The control panel, featuring nearly ‘hands-off’ pre-programming capabilities, is isolated from both the platen and hydraulic systems, which virtually eliminates the detrimental effects typically associated with heat and hydraulic mechanisms. |
| The conveniently mounted, forward facing controls include OSHA recommended ‘dual-palm’ buttons, West® digital temperature controllers, Allen-Bradley® PLC press controller, and a large ‘dial type’ pressure gauge, are other important features. |
| This heavy duty 4 Post, Laboratory Rubber Press also incorporates a 6 inch thick, fully guided bolster, Barksdale™ gauge for adjustable tonnage, 1000 Watt electric heaters (6 per platen), and adjustable ‘daylight’ opening. |
| The rod type, ‘shaded watt density’ heaters, are optimally arranged and designed to provide more energy to the platen perimeter, assuring a uniform cross-platen thermal profile, compared to strip or ring style platen heaters. This uniform thermal profile allows the use of 12 x 12 in. molds to be employed with this 15 x 15 in. platen arrangement, where most require larger platens. |
| The Allen-Bradley® MicroLogic programmable press controller allows pressure / time control of the press process ... from final clamp, through repetitious 'bumps' to maintain a set pressure (set-point programmable), to press opening! |
This press is available in various configurations:
- 100 ton, 15 x 15 inch;
- 100 or 150 ton, 18 x 18 inch;
- 100, 150, or 200 ton, 24 x 24 inch;
- 480 VAC (optional);
- Intermediate, or ‘multi-platen’ design (optional);
- Water cooled platens (optional).
