WK Vulcanizing Press
- Minimum Vulcanization Width: 800mm
- Maximum Vulcanization Width: 1200mm
The WK vulcanizing press is designed for hot vulcanization of rubber conveyor belts, particularly those reinforced with fabric. This uniquely engineered system combines the proven advantages of traditional thermal vulcanizing technology while significantly reducing splicing time. Engineered with a compact and lightweight design, the WK-Press offers reduced energy consumption compared to conventional vulcanizing presses, providing a safe and cost-efficient solution for splicing conveyor belts with low to medium tensile strength.
Designed for greater efficiency, the WK vulcanizing press matches the performance of traditional hot splicing equipment while accelerating operations and reducing, energy consumption and shortening operational downtime. It is an ideal choice for operators seeking a streamlined solution that does not compromise on quality or control.
- Splicing Width: Up to 600 mm - 1200 mm
- Power Supply: 230V, 50Hz, 1 phase, 2×1.5kW / 2×3.2kW(depending on model)
- Operating Temperature: 110°C - 150°C
- Belt Width Compatibility: WK 800 for belt widths up to 800mm, WK 1200 for belt widths up to 1200mm
- Voltage Requirements: WK 800: 220–240V, WK 1200: 415V
Suitable for splicing of single or multi-ply standard conveyor belts of low or medium strength class up to EP 1250/5 (according to DIN 22102) and rubber covers with polymer base:
- Natural Rubber (NR)
- Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
- Isoprene Rubber (IR)
- Butadiene Rubber (BR)
- Or other blends of the above (e.g., NR/SBR)
The diagram above shows the temperature curve over time when splicing an EP400/3 conveyor belt.
The short heating and cooling periods of the WK system are apparent when compared to the conventional vulcanization procedure.
- Belt-friendly, low-temperature vulcanization (approx. 120°C / 230°F) that is gentle on the conveyor belts, reducing the risk of thermal stress and damage
- Simplified structure with only four main components: top and bottom press body, pressure compensation pad, torque wrench
- Suitable for splicing geometries of 0°, 16° and 22°
