MAX-18 S
The Minimalist Hero – compact, direct, ready to use.
Not every application requires high-end technology. For many applications, one thing counts above all: simple handling and uncompromising reliability.
The MAX-18 S is our analog-controlled plastic hand extruder – robust, efficient and focused on the essentials. Thanks to the intuitive potentiometer control, the device is quickly ready for use and ideal for welding work up to 15 mm wall thickness.
With a 360° rotatable welding shoe, integrated LED lighting and an ergonomic suspension eye, the MAX-18 S impresses in everyday use. The standby function reduces the noise level and saves up to 50 % energy. An integrated dust filter protects the interior in dusty environments.
Whether in tank construction, pipeline construction or repair work – the MAX-18 S delivers performance when it needs to be uncomplicated but reliable.
