MAX-18 B/D
The MAX 18 is a digital handheld extruder that combines power, ergonomics and control: ideal for professional plastic welding in the workshop or field.
Controlled power for small and medium industrial applications
With its digital control, precise adjustments, 360° rotating shoe and modern motor, the MAX 18 allows for high-quality welding on plastic parts, pipes or containers with demanding thicknesses, without sacrificing handling.
Ergonomic design that facilitates daily work in the field
The machine is lighter and better balanced than previous generations, incorporates high-power LEDs for visibility, a brushless ventilation system, and a "standby" function to save energy and reduce noise, which is highly valued on construction sites.
Professional results thanks to digital control and materials memory
It allows you to save presets for different materials (PE, PP, HDPE), adjust temperature, speed, and extrusion with a digital menu — ideal for industrial standards where every weld must comply with regulations or specifications
Versatile for workshop, maintenance and on-site installation
Its design allows it to be easily taken to different work sites, adapt to different voltages (120 V / 230 V) and handle both light manufacturing and specialized repair operations.
DIGITAL CONTROL WITH MENU AND MEMORY FOR MATERIALS
360° ROTATING SHOE FOR WELDING IN DIFFICULT POSITIONS
COMPATIBLE WITH PE, PP AND HDPE (AND OTHERS DEPENDING ON THEIR CONFIGURATION)

TIPS MAX-18S
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
New equipment has a European connection; ideally, you should have a European female connector. If that's not the case, we'll show you how to connect it to the American system.
To connect it, we share the following specifications:
IMPORTANT:
- Consider the NEMA in which only the physical ground should be connected (Image).
- Ideally, in the industry, you should use a separate thermal switch from your load center (the amperage range can be from 20 to 30 Amps). If you have any questions, please contact technical support.
GENERATOR CONNECTION
In the Americas, generators have a 240v female outlet, and you must identify the NEMA.
Important:
- Once you have identified the NEMA, you must obtain the male that corresponds to the NEMA.
- You just need to connect L1 and L2, which is the equipment voltage, and add "T" ground.
- When purchasing a generator, you should pay attention to 3 important electrical characteristics:
- Watts
- Voltage
- The most important one is how many Amps it delivers per phase.
We recommend having an extension where you can have a MULTI-CONTACT module so you can connect your equipment independently.
MAINTENANCE
How often should you perform maintenance on your equipment?
- Deductive
Applied by the operator
- Tighten the connections periodically.
- Clean the filters daily.
- Purge the device every time you finish your shift.
- It is important to purge with natural polyethylene welding every month.
- Before connecting your equipment, you should leave your generator running for ten minutes to allow it to stabilize.
- Once 10 minutes have passed, every generator should deliver 235 to 240 volts.
- Before doing this, we suggest you always check your line (L1) to ground with a multimeter and L2 using the same procedure; each phase should deliver above 110 volts. If it is less than 70 volts in any of the phases, do not connect your equipment under any circumstances; send your generator to a service center.
