The Almex Solo Xpress is a dependable, lightweight, portable frame press designed for a single user. With a simple yet efficient design, the two-piece Solo Xpress requires limited time for assembly and disassembly. With minimal weight, it can be carried to the splice location with relative ease. Constructed with proven Almex technology, the Solo Xpress includes:
PLATEN: Contains unique Almex flexible platen built from extruded plank, silicon heating element (max. heat of 163°C), and durable composite insulation. Each platen contours to the belt’s irregularities to ensure equal vulcanization across the belt surface.
FRAME: Two solid, lightweight aluminum frames comprise upper and lower portions of the press. Handles on each end and side make for ease in transporting and positioning; bars used to connect upper and lower portions retract into bottom frame.
CONTROL PANEL: T1F and T2 panels can accommodate 230 volts; T1F is inset and the T2 is remote. T3, also for remote operation, accommodates up to 600 volts. T2 and T3 panels feature Dual Omron temperature control and indication systems and are housed in rugged aluminum box with handle and cover.
PRESSURE/COOLING: Patented Almex pressure bag ensures uniform pressure across splice surface. Hand or electric air pump applies pressure up to 7 kg/cm2 for splicing (maximum for this press). Fluid for cooling applied to extruded channels (within platen) using quick connect hoses that bring water from Almex portable storage tank.
