Replaces: Edition 03/0102 Hot Pressing Device PQ-58 The PQ-58 is a hot pressing device for joining of Habasit machine- and spindle tapes up to a width of 50 mm and a thickness of 3.6 mm with the Quickmelt or Flexproof method. With an additional cooling tong and a guide rail in the width required for your application you have a joining system that enables you to exchange a tape in minutes.
General information Application The hot-pressing device PQ-58 was specifically designed for rapid and safe hot-pressing of Habasit machine tapes made of Hamid and spindle tape W-8 / W-16 with the Quickmelt and Flexproof systems. Tapes can be up to 50 mm / 2 in. wide and 3.6 mm / 0.14 in. thick.
1/2", 3/4", 1",1 1/4", 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and 2", and 2 metal clamps (672202). WARNING Use only Habasit guide rails. Particularly the use of metallic guide rails is not admissible, it may destroy the hot-pressing device.
State the numbers according to Section 8.3, Drawings – Assembly of press and, if applicable, the required electric voltage for connection to the mains. WARNING The use of parts by other manufacturers not meeting Habasit specifications is not admissible. Habasit declines all responsibility for the consequences if non-Habasit parts are used.
The hot-pressing device PQ-58 operates at a pressing temperature of 190 °C / 374 °F, preset at the factory. The temperature of the heating plates is regulated by an electronic circuit. Each heating plate comes with an exchangeable electric heat cartridge, the lower heating plate also with a temperature sensor, the upper heating plate with a thermofuse.
