ITEM NO: MultiTherm Thermoforming Station

CONDITION: NEW

MANUFACTURER: Elkom

DESCRIPTION:

The unique thermoforming station for Corian, solid surface, and thermoplastics.

Elkom, the worldwide leader in heating platen technology for the plastics industry, has developed an outstanding combination machine that offers high-performance, efficiency, safety, conservation of floor space, and optimum price performance ratio. The MultiTherm is made for both a single production and mass production of shaped parts at low production costs. The design is totally unique to the industry. The preheating station and the vacuum press can be used together or independently from one another which will help to increase productivity. Additionally, a central control panel makes the machine easy to operate.

The unique high performance thermoforming station for solid surface, acrylics and thermoplastics.

ELKOM, the worldwide leader in heating platen technology for the plastics industry has developed this outstanding combination machine which offers: high performance, efficiency, safety, floor space saving and optimum price performance ratio. MULTITHERM is made for single and mass production of shaped parts at low production costs. The design is totally unique to the industry. The preheating station and the vacuum press can be used together or independently from each other. That increases productivity. The central control panel makes the machine easy to operate. The machine combines heating- and cooling capabilities as a standard.

  1. Central Control-Panel
  2. Extremely strong frame made of high-grade aluminum extrusions
  3. Multi-perforated vacuum platen made of anodised aluminum, coolable or heatable as a standard
  4. Top-table of the heating chamber moves up and down automatically
  5. Drawer of the heating chamber opens and closes automatically
  6. Safety-bumper (drawer closes when touched)

 

High performance with minimum floor space. As a result, just one person can run the machine, even when complicated shapes are produced. The drawer of the heating chamber works automatically. The material can be loaded or unloaded and with an easy touch, the heating chamber-drawer closes automatically within seconds. Much less heat energy loss compared with dated solutions with hinged heating platen tables. Self optimising temperature controllers for minimum energy need.
Within only a few seconds the preheated, pliable material is put on the vacuum machine and the vacuum is applied. The high performance vacuum pump has a larger vacuum storage chamber as well as the unique aluminum profile frame with the silicone gasket/membrane and is very easy to use.

The working platen of the vacuum machine is equipped with cooling capabilities. This comes as a standard feature (ELKOM ?KOTHERM cooling platen with perforated surface / patented). As a result, mass prduction of shaped solid surface parts is possible (e.g. 5 minutes total cycle time for a 1/2? solid surface bowl). Cooling unit can be sold separately. Extra cooling- circuits and vacuum-circuits under the membrane for big moulds as a standard.

MULTITHERM is the fastest and most effective thermoforming system worldwide. You will save floor space, time, energy, labor costs and money. With the ELKOM MULTITHERM you will get professional thermoforming results for shops with limited floor space, have the newest and fastest thermoforming technology available in the world. Produced completely in Germany, built to last and backed by ELKOM?s piece of mind warranty.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Technical advantages:
Heating station with top and bottom ELKOM aluminum heating platen (strong industrial material) 18 mm thick with gold anodized surface. Patented safety heating conductor system. Maintenance free, uniform surface temperature, microprocessor controlled, up to 200C (385F). High energy savings through fast closing heating chamber system.
Vacuum membrane press with gold anodized OKOTHERM cooling platen (patented) for a quick working cycle. Perforated working surface for fast vacuum application.
Unique aluminum gasket/frame with integrated high performance silicone rubber membrane (600% elasticity) with gas springs for easy handling.
Central control board for all machine functions. Automatic opening and closing of the heating chamber (energy saving). Only one operator required. Multistage switching manual/automatic.
Maintenance free high performance vacuum pump with vacuum storage tank. Extremely fast vacuum application. Vacuum adjusting system as a standard.
Precise and heavily constructed lower loading drawer, driven by a double stroke pneumatic cylinder, roller bearing guide and parallel guide (highest industrial version). Opening and closing automatically by pressing a button or touching the bumper.
Easy and accurate adjustment of material thickness. As a result, heat can pass trough very well into the material and unnecessary energy losses are prevented.
Drawer of the heating chamber with safety switch bumper. Machine completely protected by steel cover. Machine is eqipped on industrial casters for mobility.
