• Floor space saving compact construction

• By use o high-quality insulation material and because o the

optimised design, the vacuum table remains on room-tempera-

ture, even when the preheating-station is on permanent operation

• Extremely low energy consumption through our patented heatingsystem in conjunction with a microprocessor-based temperature

control panel. Solely consumed energy will be replaced. Com-

plicated and risky divided heating platens be come redundant.

(energy consumption is only 10 % - 50 % o connected load

according to working cycles)

• Industrial heating system with 5 years warranty (exclusive

ELKOM-system, patented)

• One man operating

• Maintenance ree, no wear and tear, reliable and ver y short

working cycles

• Model MULTITHERM-AUTOMATIC with automatic open- and

close unction , controlled cooling o the whole vacuumplaten,

extra cooling circuit in the vacuum or big moulds extra vacuum

system in the vacuum eld or big moulds with deep shapes

( e.g.double vanity tops ) electronic control o all unctions

• Extraordinary reliability through high quality industry standard

construction

• Central control panel with timer, audio warning, temperature--

displays, indication-lights• Vacuum-working table platen always made o gold anodised,

solid aluminium with grooved vacuum-channels and holes,

cooling-circuit-connections or big moulds come as a standard

• Vacuum tank inside machine construction as a standard in con-

junction with vacuum manometer and automatic switch, auto

matic stop, vacuum-level gauge, adjustment or sensitive materials,

bypass-valve

• Dierent kinds o membranes available according to require-

ment – translucent or dyed ,dierent thicknesses according to

application, volume-membrane systems or moulds up to 1000

mm height

LKOM - YOur cOMpEtEnt partnEr

olid surace , based on acrylics , has become a “core” material in high-quality interior ttingr many years. The universal utilisation opportunities as well as the thermoormability havead to a worldwide growing demand.

A really ascinating material: solid and durable, yet it can be shaped

to meet your requirements. Remarkably versatile – in private homes

and public buildings, hospitals and hotels as well as or uniquedesigned products and technical applications – it oers really limitless

possibilities.

Already in the early eighties, when thermoorming o solid surace

was still in its early phase, ELKOM developed and supplied complex

preheating systems or the solid surace industry.

As a result, getting pliable solid surace sheets was made aordable

to many abricators.

Based on our comprehensive technical experience, gained in rubber-

plastics – and machine applications, we developed and manuactured

preheating machines and vacuum-bending machines exclusively upon

demand.

In the nineties we continued the technical developments, because the

solid surace industry as well as the abricators required more proes-

sional machines. As a result, we introduced our MIKUTHERM-preheat-

ing machines and our VAKUTHERM-bending machines to the industry.

Both machines where absolutely unique at this time and oered an

industrial production-technology under controllable and repeatable

conditions ,such as preheating and cooling in clearly dened times.

ELKOM, as an inventor and technical leader, did always play a key-roll

in this business.

In 2002 ELKOM introduced the brand new MULTITHERM-technology.

The patented MULTITHERM machines are the result o a very long

development based on abricators requirements or a compact, easy

to handle and sae thermoorming system.

MULTITHERM machines are oered in dierent versions as “auto-

matic” or “basic” machines and also with modications according to

needs.

The developmenT o Thermoorming Technology or solid surace

elKom mulTiTherm k – bftThe patented and exclusive ELKOM-technique oers a unique “combination-solution“ (multiunctional) in just one machine. It provides an excellent

price-perormance ratio as well as unbeatable advantages such as:

• Membranesavailableindifferentversions:siliconemembrane or thermoorming with thickness o 2 or 3 mm available, trans-lucent or dyed, natural rubber membranes, volume membraneswith or without replacement-rame or extra tall work-pieces

• Upondemand:workingtablewithheating-orcoolingcapa

bilities

• Ideal machine or individual , high-quality and precious workpieces made o solid surace , acrylic glass , ceramics or abrics

• Solid steel construction , torsion-resistant under any kind o load

• The whole vacuum working-table has heating-and cooling

capabilities by using our patented ÖKOTHERM-Energy-heatingplaten system. We oer dierent technical solutions and sizes,depending on the desired production-capacity and output.( a personal and individual planning o each machine by personalconsulting is indispensable )

• Maintenance ree, pr ecisely controlled and supervised vacuum--system with a sensitive electronic-control and adjustment system

• Central switchboard to supervise all unctions by an electronic controlsystem(Heating/Cooling-ManualMode–Automatic

Mode – Vacuum ) • High perormance silicone membrane, 2 mm translucent, or long

time durability

• Vakuum-frame/gasketmadeofdoublewelded,high-alloyedaluminium-extrusions. Insulated handles on all sides, easy accessto table by opening-and closing support by gas-springs, solid andmassive steel-hinges on the backside ( adjustable)

• Optimum price-perormance ratio • This machine is not only limited to sublimation works but can also

be used or thermoorming or vacuumorming tasks. Thereore, it isa multi-unctional and very economical unit

• Easy to open and close by insulated handles

• Any material thickness can be preheated

• Temperature range adjustable up to 200 ° C

• Ready or operation in only 15 minutes

• Anodised and scratch-resistant suraces

• Mobile , also or operation on building-sites

• Fair price-perormance ratio

The ELKOM preheating station MIKUTHERM OPTIMAL has been de-veloped or economical , sae and protective heating o solid suracesheets as well as thermoplastics, acrylic glass and similar material. Itis the latest, most ecient and saest system on the market.

• Top and bottom ELKOM industrial electrical heating platen madeo 18 mm thick aluminium guarantee uniorm temperaturedistribution
