Almex Membrane Press
Advantages
- Aerospace Technology
Shaw-Almex operates in four distinct industries - aerospace, textiles,
rubber, and woodworking. By engineering presses for companies like
Boeing and NASA, we have developed new aerospace technologies that are
integrated into our membrane presses.
- Pressure System
The Almex membrane press does not have ANY hydraulic systems. Press is
closed using air pressure only
- NO hydraulic pistons, NO seals, and NO leaks
- NO hydraulic oil or filters to change
- NO motors, NO pumps, NO valves, No hoses, and NO leaks
- Heating System
Electrically heated aluminum plate does not require any oil system to
compensate for hot spots and cold spots
- NO oil or filters to change
- NO motors, NO pumps, NO valves, No hoses, and NO leaks
- Heater Element
The Almex 'silicone rubber blanket heater' uses variable wattage to
eliminate hot spots and cold spots. Nichrome wire heaters provide fast
heating, and temperatures up to 392°F (200°C).
- NO tubular heaters or calrod heaters, which cause hot and cold spots
- Energy Consumption
The energy required to operate an Almex press is almost 50% less then
other thermofoil press companies. See our
comparison chart to view details.
- Membrane & Membraneless Operation
The Almex membrane press can ALSO operate "membraneless" without having
to remove the membrane. Achieve the advantages of guaranteed edge
bonding with the superior heating of a membrane press, COMBINED with the
superior definition of a membraneless press! Membrane can be replaced
in approximately 30 minutes if necessary.
- Simplicity
Almex presses offer simplicity in operation and maintenance through the
easy-to-learn Touchscreen Control Panel. The
Smartpin model offers an example of Touchscreen Control Panel operation.
