ElasTek™ Heavy Duty ThermoCutter: Description
ElasTek™ Model ZTS-24 Heavy Duty ThermoCutter for Cutting Rubber and Plastic ElasTek™ Products by CCSi
The Model ZTS-24 Heavy Duty ThermoCutter is a state-of-the-art, hand held, hot cutting, shaping and sealing tool!
This ThermoCutter simplifies and eases the cutting of expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XEPS), polyethylene (PE), cross—linked polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), foamed plastic, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and many other similar materials.
The Model ZTS-24 Heavy Duty ThermoCutter eliminates the “snow shower” of foam beads, or crumbs, typically associated with other cutting tools, making clean and precise cuts.
The ThermoCutter features a controller/transformer to regulate the blade temperature between 212 Fº to 1112 Fº depending on the blade used. The 110 VAC / 500 Watt controller heats the blade evenly and accurately, without overheating the handle.
The Model ZTS-24 Heavy Duty ThermoCutter is designed for the rigors of continuous use industrial applications. The handle weighs only 1.2 lbs., making it easy to manipulate and features a switch for blade heating in the non—continuous mode. Additionally, the cutting head is designed for quick and simple blade changes.
