This line of vulcanizer is the smaller of our most basic models, simply constructed and requiring minimal maintenance. This unit is to be mounted on a horizontal surface, with the portion of the vulcanizer that holds the mold, extending forward off the mounting surface. Closure of the top platen is accomplished either by hand, or with a foot pedal assembly attachment. Use of the foot pedal is common when vulcanizing parts which require pressure to maintain contact prior to closing the top platen. The model is often utilized in assembly line production operations, in banks of 4 ,6, or 8 for bonding of “O” rings or other round or square extrusions. The model is heated via a cartridge heater in both the top & bottom platens, which are controlled by a single cartridge thermo-switch. The model can also be equipped with a control box, that contains a digital temperature controller, connected to the platen heaters via a thermocouple. Mold size for this model is 1 ½”H x 2”W x 4”L. Please specify either 110 volt or 220 volt when ordering.
