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.
The width of the press plate is increased somewhat compared to the PQ-57.
This enables you to make 35 mm long Flexproof joints also in situations
where space is tight and visibility poor.
