6. Install the bag plates on the pressure bags so that the joint between bag plates does not coincide with the
joint between bags.
7. The restraining bar will be in more than one section on arrangements over 96” (2.4 m). Join the restraining
bar sections using the union as shown.
8. When using more than one temperature controller, the main supply cable of each controller must be
connected to an adequate power supply.
Safety: Do not connect a main supply cable to the pump receptacle of any of the controllers because the
pump circuit does not have sufficient capacity for a platen set.
9. Connect multiple pressure bags and pumps to the distribution manifold supplied with multiple platen
arrangements, so they pressurize evenly.
4.7. Assembly of a Two Bar Vulcanizer
On vulcanizer arrangements with only two bar sets:
1. Install the restraining bars, upper and lower. With the gauge pin removed from one end, slide the bar
through each traverse bar and install the gauge pin. Both gauge pins should be approximately 3/4” (18 mm)
from the side of the outer traverse bars.
2. Install the supplied chains using the 5/8” diameter x 5 ½” long bolts, engaging all the threads on the nut.
3. The chains are usually only long enough to allow them to be stretched between the inside bar holes. The
chains should not be tight; some slack is appropriate (approx. 1 to 2 links should be loose).
