ELKOM: VACUUM PRESSES, THERMOFORMING STATIONS, & PREHEATING STATIONS

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 Elkom solid surface preheating station has been developed for the economical, safe, and protective heating of Corian? as well as solid surface materials.?? Contact heat on both sides, without application of pressure to the material, is ideal.?? MikuTherm Optimal meets the requirements of the raw material suppliers and processors.?? The preheating and bending time for a 6 millimeter Corian? part is only 3 minutes for each process - a total processing time of 6 minutes.?? The MikuTherm Optimal has two individual temperature controllers (top and bottom), each capable of 0-200? C.?? The high-quality, gold anodized Elkom heating plates ensure protection of the material, uniform continuous temperature, and extremely long life. ?

The Elkom VacuTherm Membrane Press has been developed in cooperation with the Air Press Company to provide a new technology in the forming of solid surface parts such as Corian?, thermoplastics, and acrylic. The machine comes equipped with an Elkom ?kotherm patented heating/cooling platen in order to bring out the high temperatures of the plastic with a temperature controlled environment. The machine is an ideal compliment to the Elkom MikuTherm preheating contact platen oven. For mass production, we also offer cooling machines.

The Elkom Heating Platen Systems have been offered for years by the leading press manufacturers in their specific press design.?? We offer an optimum and economic system for all veneer presses, ironing presses, and continuous presses.?? All Elkom systems and components are exclusive developments, and the majority of them are patented.??

The Elkom temperature controllers (type TT) ideally augment the heating or cooling platens in the ?kotherm range. Our temperature controllers have proved their worth for many years in virtually all craft and industrial production processes. They are loaded with important features such as rugged construction with a high-grade steel inner tank, wear-free and corrosion-free pumps & valves, cooling heat-exchangers, ease of handling, and problem-free operation.

For many years, Elkom electrical heating bars have been an indespensable aid for thousands of companies in the plastics and woodworking fields. ?The well-proven, rugged Elkom heating bars offer reliable technology at a favorable price, whether used in frame or edge presses; or manually as an edge bending aid, an assembly aid, or for temperature control of wood and plastic edges.?

Elkom, the worldwide leader in heating platen technology for the plastics industry, has developed a series of high production machines for the sublimation of imagery into various thermoplastics?
