4 Product Description
4.1 Application range
The application range of the hand extruder is defined
by the data on the type tag and the service limits
indicated in these operating instructions.
CAUTION Operation of the hand extruder outside
the application range stated in these operation
instructions is subject to the Manufacturer’s prior
approval.
4.2 General description
The type MM-Xtruder is a hand extruder with
integrated air supply (Autoair).
CAUTION!
Use 3 mm welding rod exclusively.
CAUTION Too low a speed will pose a risk of drive
overheating!
Driven by a powerful electric motor (1), the welding
rod (2) is fed into the extruder (3) and granulated by
the extruder screw in the process. The screw forces
the granulate into the extruder nozzle, melting it into
a homogeneous, completely plastified mass. As the
molten material exits the extruder nozzle, it is
moulded by a welding shoe (4) to the geometry of
the weld seam to be deposited
Preheating of the parts to be joined is achieved by a
preheat nozzle (5) which is supplied from an on-
board hot air unit (6). Air supply is via an on-board
blower.
The melt and preheat air temperatures are controlled
separately. The set point and momentary values are
displayed concurrently.
For the drive interlock to be released for starting, the
melt and preheat air temperatures must be above
the start interlock temperature and the startup timer
must have timed out. The start interlock
temperature and the startup time can be
separately set for the melt and preheat air.
The temperature-controlled start interlock prevents
the drive from starting if there is still unmolten
material in the extruder, thus precluding damage to
the unit.
The output rate is variable so that the preheat time
can be matched to the weld thickness

MM-Xtruder Edition 12.2011/Rev. 07 Page 11/27
