3 Product description
3.1 Components
Heating presses are electrical heating devices for use in fabricating (splicing) belting material that
can withstand maximum temperatures of 210°C. Heating presses are used to splice endlessly belting
material using pressure and temperature. Depending on the requirement we differentiate between
different designs and types.
The heating press consists of the following components and functional groups:
3.2 How it works
In the closed heating press pressure and temperature are generated between the top and bottom
part and the electrically heated heating plates in supplying compressed air; this causes the melting
of the inserted belting material as well as the splicing after a prescribed period (heating-up time and
hold-down-time). Once cooled down, the finished splice has got the physical features required.
For further information on how the heating press functions, see chapter "5 Handling".

4 Preparing the product for usage
Before starting the operation of the tool, the following steps must be carried out each time to ensure
that the tool works properly. Check the following points:
4.1 Transport
The transport / the relocation / the use of the device should be carried out by an appropriate lifting
appliance (regarding the minimum lifting force, please look at chapter “3.3 Technical data“). Prior to
this relocation, the device should be disconnected from the energy supply (electrical current).
The tool may only be transported in cooled-down condition and under observation of the generally
valid safety regulations.
Note:
When transporting, make sure that the heating presses are only transported or stored when they are
closed (This protects the heating surfaces best from damage).
Warning
Make sure that the heating press is firmly locked in lifting.
In lifting and transporting the device, please handle particularly with care!
During the transport please do not keep staying under the floating load!
Lift the heating press only at the provided lifting points „4 handles”.
Attention
Do not lift the heating press at the hold-down bars!
Higher tilting danger owing to the irregular weight repartition!
4.2 Position
Heating presses and their components, in particular heating plates, must be only placed on surfaces
that can withstand maximum warming temperatures of 240°C. Otherwise damage can occur to materials that are not heat resistant or they will present a fire risk. The surfaces must also be able to
withstand the static load from the weight of the heating presses.
Attention
Risk of burns! Make sure the heating press is always freely accessible and is not covered
up. Should the heating press be covered up, this will present a fire risk.
4.3 Electric installations
The existing mains voltage must be suitable for the tools' operating voltage.
The connection cables are delivered in plug-in form.
4.4 Utilities
Textured fabric standard
Silicone fabric no.1
Separating paper
Soft pad 1 mm
All utilities must be clean.
