Year of construction: 2010, condition: excellent (used), Thumm SU100 P current UV dip impregnation system with exhaust air cleaning system Current UV impregnation is an innovative dip process for low-voltage round wire windings.  In this process, a low DC voltage is applied to the winding and the required process heat is generated very effectively by current flow.  When the heated winding is immersed, the impregnating agent becomes thin and can thus penetrate into the smallest cavities.  With continuous heating, the impregnating resin gels on the hot conductors of the winding, whereby the resin can flow off again after dipping on the cooler stack of sheets. The winding is heated and dried by means of electricity. UV lamps cure the light-sensitive resin on the stack of sheets. The elimination of conventional oven drying saves energy and time. Together with the use of a low-emission impregnating agent, the environmental balance is very positive. Thumm electric UV dip impregnation system Type: SU100 P Stators: max. 250 mm Ø  Connected load: 15 kVA Fuse: 32A Connection: 3 phase 400 Volt 50 Hz Power supplies 2 x 50V / 280 A Dodohuffcjpfx Ab Tjcr Thumm aerosol separator 400 V 1.85 KVA Complete plant closure, large selection of storage platforms, pallet racks, shelf racks, paternosters.
