Vulcanizing Presses

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information on Vulkan vulcanising presses used for belt conveyor splicing and repair. Vulcanisation is a process that transforms uncured rubber into a thermoset through high temperature and pressure, creating a cross-linked network that enhances elasticity and stiffness.

Key Parameters for Vulcanisation
  • Temperature: Critical for the chemical reaction.
  • Pressure: Ensures proper bonding.
  • Time: Determines the duration of the process.
Failure to maintain these parameters can lead to premature belt splice failure.

Belt Conveyor Splices
  • Types: Mechanical, cold, and hot splicing. Hot splicing is preferred for its strength and reliability, especially for steel cord belting.

Vulkan Vulcanising Presses
  • Available in mechanical, hydraulic, and pressure bag systems.
  • Constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminium alloy for easy handling.
  • Combination platen design allows for various belt widths and splice lengths.
  • Stringent quality control ensures reliable performance.

Vulkan Splice Vulcanising Press with Pressure Bag
  • Advanced design for fabric ply, steel cord, or PVC belts.
  • Features include insulated heater plates, cooling channels, and flexible heating mats.
  • Operates at a maximum pressure of 14Kg/Cm² (200Psi) and temperature of 160°C.

Control Panel
  • Standard and GEN-4® control panels available.
  • GEN-4® offers programmable control, remote monitoring, and automatic reporting.

Vulkan Belt Repair and Special Vulcanising Presses
  • Longitudinal/Edge Repair Machine: Custom shapes and lengths for easy handling.
  • Spot Repair Machine: Lightweight for repairing small patches.
  • Side Wall/Cleat Fixing Machine: Quick fixing with easy handling features.
  • Two Piece Press: Portable and easy to assemble for fabric ply belt splices.

Conclusion
The document highlights the versatility and advanced features of Vulkan vulcanising presses, emphasizing their suitability for various belt splicing and repair needs.

VULCANISATION Is the process whereby uncured rubber, under high temperature (>140°C) and pressure, undergoes an irreversible chemical reaction, converting it from a thermoplastic to a thermoset. The creation of cross-linked network in a rubber increases its stiffness and renders it elastic. T h e re a re t h re e p r i m a r y p a ra m e te rs fo r vulcanisation of rubber, namely Temperature, Pressure & Time. Hence, the three parameters:- 4 Temperature 4 Pressure 4 Time are critical for belt conveyor splicing. Failure in maintaining any one of these parameters would most definitely result in premature...
