三. Special Knowledge of Machine Components

Q6: What is the overall structure and drive system configuration of the RB-A12 press?

A6:The machine adopts a frame structure with strong rigidity and high-pressure resistance. The drive system uses a high and low pressure dual-pump parallel design, driven by a 20HP high-power motor. The low-pressure pump provides large flow for fast clamping, while the high-pressure pump pressurizes to the set value, ensuring both fast clamping speed and stable molding pressure. The main motor brand is Siemens.

Q7: What is the heat source system and temperature control method of the RB-A12 press?

A7:The equipment uses heat transfer oil circulation heating. An electric heating tube heats the thermal oil, and a circulating pump delivers the hot oil to the hot plates for uniform and stable mold heating. The temperature control system is precisely regulated by a PLC with a K-Type thermocouple, ensuring constant vulcanization temperature and effectively reducing the sole forming defect rate.

Q8: What brands of core hydraulic components are used in the RB-A12 press?

A8:Core hydraulic components include: Pressure Switch (for pressure sensing), Oil Pressure Maintaining Valve (for pressure maintenance), and various Solenoid Valves (controlling lifting/lowering). The machine comes with a complete consumable spare parts list, including piston seals, anti-heat hoses, couplings, etc., facilitating daily maintenance and replacement for customers.

四.Standard Operation Process

Q9: What is the standard working process of the ASFROM RB-A12 press?

A9:The operation process is divided into 4 core stages:

1. Clamping & Pressurization: Low-pressure large flow drives the piston up for clamping. After clamping, low pressure releases, the high-pressure pump pressurizes to the set value (commonly 150kg), the motor stops, and the PLC starts vulcanization timing.

2. Pressure Holding & Vulcanization: During timing, if the pressure drops 10% below the set value, the system automatically activates pressure compensation to ensure stable product quality.

3. Opening & Descending: After timing ends, a signal triggers the descending valve. Oil pressure and flow return to the tank, and the piston descends rapidly (540mm/3 sec).

4. Mold Loading/Unloading: A hydraulic motor drives an in-line gear to move the mold in and out. During retraction, the arc-shaped rail lifts the mold cover 90° for safe material removal and loading.

Q10:  How does the RB-A12 press achieve automatic pressure compensation? What is its working principle?

A10:The pressure compensation function is based on the differential pressure principle. During pressure holding, if the system pressure falls below the set value (e.g., set 150kg, drops to 135kg, i.e., 10% lower), the pressure switch sends a signal to the control system to automatically start the high-pressure pump for instant compensation until the set value is restored. This effectively compensates for pressure drops caused by material overflow or minor leaks, ensuring consistent vulcanization quality for the entire batch of soles.

五.Machine Structure & Components

Q11:What are the core components of the ASFROM RB-A12 press?

A11:The machine mainly consists of the following 8 core systems/components:

1. Frame-type main frame (load-bearing body);

2. Hydraulic system (including cylinder, piston, high/low pressure pumps);

3. Hot plate system (3 layers, with thermal oil circulation piping);

4. Heating system (electric heating tubes, thermostat, circulating pump);

5. Electrical control system (PLC touch panel, relays, pressure switches);

6. Mold loading/unloading mechanism (hydraulic motor, in-line gear, arc-shaped rail);

7. Safety devices (double-sided emergency stop, limit switches);

8. Hydraulic piping and cooler (including anti-heat hoses, valves).

Q12:  How do the hot plate area and interlayer distance parameters affect production?

എ12:The hot plate area is 460mm × 460mm × 50mm. The 50mm thickness ensures excellent heat storage and temperature uniformity. The interlayer distance is 180mm, which accommodates molds with large lasts or complex structures while also considering operator convenience for loading/unloading. The 3-layer structure allows operators to vulcanize multiple molds simultaneously in a single cycle, significantly improving output per unit of time.

2. Automatic pressure compensation: Ensures constant pressure, significantly reducing defect rates like short shots or bubbles;

3. Automatic mold turnover & in/out movement: Driven by hydraulic motor, 90° flip cover for safe and convenient material handling, reducing labor intensity;

4. Siemens motor + PLC control: Stable operation, flexible parameter settings, extremely low failure rate;

5. Double-sided emergency stop devices: Comprehensive operator safety protection, preventing accidental mold damage;

6. Sturdy frame structure: High pressure resistance, anti-deformation, suitable for long-term high-intensity continuous production

Q14: What are the features of the PLC electric control system of the RB-A12 press?

A14:The equipment is equipped with an advanced touch panel (HMI) with an intuitive interface. Operators can monitor production data in real-time (pressure, temperature, timing) and easily set all process parameters (clamping time, vulcanization temperature, compensation range, etc.). The system supports multiple recipe storage, allowing one-click parameter recall during mold and material changes for quick changeovers. The circuit is highly integrated and easy to maintain.

七.Safety & Performance

Q15: What safety protection mechanisms does the RB-A12 press have?

A15: The equipment is equipped with multiple safety protections:

1. Double-sided emergency stop devices (emergency stop buttons on both front and rear sides for immediate shutdown in emergencies);

2. Limit switches (precisely control piston stroke and mold travel, preventing over-travel collisions);

3. Pressure overload protection (automatic alarm and pressure relief when system pressure exceeds the set value);

4. Electrical interlocking (prevents clamping action from starting if the mold is not in position, avoiding misoperation).

Q16: What are the key points to pay attention to in daily maintenance of the press?

എ16:To ensure long-term stable operation, it is recommended to perform the following maintenance:

1. Hydraulic Oil: Keep above the oil level gauge mark. Clean the tank filter every 3 months. Regularly check oil quality. Operating temperature should be maintained at 30℃ – 45℃;

2. Lubrication: Regularly apply lubricating grease to the piston and hot plate machine frame joints. Grease the motor pump coupling chain;

3. Electrical Inspection: Check pressure gauges and displays monthly for clarity. Regularly check the electrical cabinet for loose wiring due to vibration;

4. Seals & Piping: Frequently check hydraulic valve fixing nuts for looseness and pipelines for leaks;

5. Safety Devices: Check rubber cushions for damage or detachment, and confirm the mold stop mechanisms are effective.

八. Model Selection Consultation

Q17: What key conditions should be confirmed when purchasing the ASFROM RB-A12 press?

A17：Purchasing requires confirmation of 4 core dimensions:

1. Factory Power Supply: Confirm site voltage (e.g., 380V or 400V), frequency (50Hz/60Hz), and phase (3-phase). Custom motor and electrical component configuration is available;

2. Mold Size & Process: Confirm mold outline dimensions, thickness, and required vulcanization pressure (commonly 150kg), ensuring the hot plate area and interlayer distance meet requirements;

3. Workshop Installation Space: Machine dimensions are 5580mm × 1200mm × 2450mm, weight 16 tons. Sufficient space for operation, maintenance, and foundation load-bearing must be reserved. Loading method is 40-foot bare shipment;

4. Production Capacity Needs: The RB-A12 features 6 stations with a 3-layer structure. Assess whether it matches daily output targets. Contact the brand for a detailed capacity evaluation proposal.

Q18: Can the voltage configuration be changed or other functions be added after the RB-A12 press is delivered?

A18：The voltage (motor coils) and electrical components (relays, contactors, etc.) are configured, welded, and assembled according to the customer-confirmed power supply standard before delivery. Direct refitting is unavailable after delivery. If customers have other functional requirements (such as specific temperature control ranges or special mold clamping mechanisms), it is recommended to communicate with the manufacturer during the ordering stage to complete the customized design, so as not to affect the delivery cycle and equipment warranty.
