Infrared Pre-Shock P 158
The decisive first seconds after the extruder.
Freshly extruded profile is soft, sticky and vulnerable — exactly where the P 158 comes in. With focused infrared heat, it sets the surface within seconds and hands a clean, dimensionally stable profile to the next station.
The problem
Right behind the die, your profile is at its most fragile. It sticks to the belt, picks up marks, loses its contour — and whatever fails here ends up as scrap. Run faster, and you often pay for it with the surface.
Your benefits
- No more marks or sticking.
The surface sets before the profile touches the conveyor — for a clean result, especially with moss and sponge rubber.
- More speed, same quality.
Because the profile is stable instantly, you can run the line faster without sacrificing the surface.
- Less scrap from metre one.
Dimensionally stable lips, hollow chambers and hoses from the very first moment — saving material and rework.
- Heat only where needed.
Eight independently controlled zones place the heat exactly on the cross-section you're running — saving energy and protecting the material.
- Ready in minutes.
Compact, mobile and quickly set to any product via a clear operating interface.
- The perfect run-up to the microwave.
The P 158 prepares the profile ideally for the curing that follows — the whole line runs more smoothly.
Applications
Profile, seal and hose extrusion, especially for demanding surfaces such as moss and sponge rubber.
Pre-calculate it in VulcaRAMix
The P 158 is stored as an infrared module in VulcaRAMix. Place it digitally at the right point in your line and watch how it heats your profile — before the first setting is dialled in on the real machine.
