Size example: bed measurement 1500 x 3000 mm
By the addition of springs, the upper roller converts for height adjustment (to high pressure). In this case the support must be lengthened so that the beds can rest on both sides. Two additional photo cells are also required.
We also act as middle-man for second-hand (Begagnat) printing presses and graphical materials. We only manufacture to order.
Heating Plates, 30° - 110°C
Both casing and heating plate are stainless. For added stability, a 5mm thick aluminium plate is bolted in place beneath the heating plate. The aluminium acts as a heat storage medium for even distribution to the heating plate. A plate holder keeps the heating elements pressed tight against the aluminium plate. Heat is thermostat-controlled, correct temperature being indicated by a control lamp. As an additional safety measure, the heating plate is protected against overheating by a breaker which activates at 132°C. Plates are CE-approved.
