ELKOM - Heizplattentechnik GmbH

ELKOM electric combined heating platens have been the standard original equipment of the leading veneer press manufacturers for more than 35 years. Continuously technically developed and improved, they create in all veneer presses a solid basis for high-quality pressing of veneer and plastics with the highest possible profitability. Even when retrofitting to existing old presses (replacement) the latest state of the art is always achieved with the high-quality ELKOM- combined heating platens and enable veneering at the highest possible quality level. The combined heating platens with the gold anodized surface developed by ELKOM are supplied as standard. The most important practical advantages are the small amount of cleaning and maintenance, resistance to scratches and wear, extremely low release agent consumption and high-quality pressing results.

The ELKOM preheating station MIKUTHERM OPTIMAL has been developed for economical, safe and protective heating of solid surface sheets as well as all thermoplastics, acrylic glass and similar material. It is the latest, most efficient and safest preheating system on the market.
Solid surface sheets and other thermoplastics must be heated carefully. Contact heat on both sides without application of pressure to the material is ideal. MIKUTHERM-OPTIMAL meets the requirements of the raw material suppliers and fabricators. In contrast to conventional temperature control systems with folding-cover tables maximum safety is achieved with short and material-protecting cycle times. The preheating time for a 9 mm solid surface sheet is only about 10 minutes. The high-quality, gold anodized ELKOM heating platens ensure protection of the material, uniform continuous temperature and extremely long life. The solid surface sheet is held flat, but not pressed by the lowerable top table.

• Easy access to material through ball-bearing guided drawer.
• Only 5 seconds for opening and closing. No other technology is faster ore more efficient.
• Heavy duty steel construction, tension free, for unlimited lifetime.
• No handling between hot platens.
• Automatic thickness adjustment, no risk of pressing or touching the precious material surface.

The MULTITHERM® technology of ELKOM® is a universal combination machine for manual production of molded parts made of thermoplastics, mineral materials, composites and for prepregs of any kind.

The patented system provides unique technical possibilities of a preheating oven with top-and bottom electrically heated aluminium platens and a vacuum-forming machine. Any thermoplastic material can be heated up step less; the maximum working temperature is 200°C. After preheating, the material is taken off the drawer and put on or in a mould at the vacuum-table and then vacuum is applied. By means of a silicone membrane, the material is shaped into form and cooled down. The working surface of the vacuum machine is available with or without a heat able or cool able vacuum plate.

Our Multitherm thermoforming machines can be equipped with the special Sublimation plate and the special volume membrane for high molds. Therefore, you can do thermoforming and Sublimation with one machine.

The entire vacuum system is maintenance free; the machine has been developed for one-man operation.

The MULTITHERM® technology is available in the following models: "Automatic" or "Manual". Sizes of 1000 x 1000 mm up to 3800 x 1300 mm are offered as standard, special sizes on customer request are possible.
