The Oakley Industrial Machinery’s six-position jetted and jetless filling machines are designed for small to mediumheating elements production runs, trial production of new elements, and the testing or qualification of MgO. Due to their capacity for handling extended element lengths and larger diameters, they are especially popular among industrial heating elements manufacturers who frequently produce long, large-diameter elements in limited quantities.
The OIM’s 6-position filling machine can be equipped with either a jetted or jetless filling system, resulting in the most flexible solution, suitable for small runs, samples or tests. This is the most flexible and fundamental model in the range, supplied with a mechanical vibrator and a variable-speed fill rate.
The concrete advantages that make the difference
The Oakley 6-position filling machine for heating elements is supplied with a mechanical vibrator and a variable-speed drive for the fill motor, simplifying the adjustment of both vibration frequency and amplitude. The variable-speed drive ensures fast fill rates, allowing you to optimize production for each type of heating element.
To maximize versatility, this filling machine for heating elements can be equipped with quick-change, interchangeable hopper assemblies. These hoppers eliminate the need to remove and replace the outer tube, inner tube, and hook rods individually. Instead, the hook rod bar is simply lowered onto the hopper, which can then be removed with all tooling intact. A second hopper, preconfigured with the proper fill tooling, can be quickly installed, saving significant time during diameter changeovers.
Multiple vibrators are used on these machines, with the number tailored to the maximum element length, ensuring efficient jetted or jetless filling for every application.
Discover all the machine configurations
The two-tube filling system serves to center the coil within the tube, positioning it accurately, while also acting as a channel for the flow of MgO.
This system reduces the risk of clogging: compared to a single-guide tube filler, the dual-tube design provides a more efficient pathway for the powder, minimizing the chance of blockages and preventing MgO dispersion during the process.
The patented three-tube MgO filling system is designed to achieve high fillspeeds, improve fill quality, and prevent material spillage at the end of the cycle.
The concentric tube configuration also helps reduce wear on the components in contact with the MgO, enhancing the system’s reliability and service life.
