The SJPE MAXI multipurpose jointing system is the latest technology for the production of butt and corner joints in profiles made of (reinforced or nonreinforced) rubber, thermoplastic materials and PVC.
The SJPE MAXI system uses a special film or a sheet in POLYETHYLENE (PE) as material to be interposed automatically between the surfaces to be jointed.
In addition to the high tensile strength of the jointed zone, the distinctive trait of this type of joint is quick production time.
The SJPE MAXI system uses special infrared radiation lamps for a quick heating of the zone to be jointed and the PE film.
When the surfaces have reached the required temperature and the PE is in plastic state, the system joints the two ends of the profile and keeps it in the appropriate position until the temperatures decrease.
This is a versatile jointing system, which can also be used for the butt jointing of profiles made of thermoplastic materials and to obviate the problem of blade joints, since the bonding of the material in the sealing zones is achieved through radiation, not by contact.
Types of joint
PE joints on gaskets:
Rubber/sponge
Reinforced rubber/sponge
Hollow extruded items, e.g., pipes
With bi-adhesive
Flocked
Thermoplastic materials/PVC
Performance
25 sec.
Sealing cycle for a minimum of 2 pieces
Advantages
Fast cycle
Great strength
Excellent aesthetic quality of the joint
Moulds with a minimum of 2 cavities
Sealing is possible also on gaskets with bi-adhesive or gaskets in flocked material, since the moulds are used in cold processes
