The new ROMAX 3000 press from ROTHENBERGER

The compact and versatile power package for fittings up to Ø 108 mm

Kelkheim. Compact, light, fast, economical, reliable and versatile for
system dependent pressings up to Ø 108mm. This is the new
electro-hydraulic press ROMAX 3000 from ROTHENBERG
GmbH (Kelkheim), which will make its premiere at the HVAC Essen tradeshow.

With its wand-like design, this standard press unit is very handy
(for battery and mains use) and can be used in various building site
situations. Whether in large-dimensioned cellar distributions, hard to
access front-wall installations, or cramped duct installations: with the
ROMAX 3000 it is no longer necessary to change presses. In addition
to the compact design (445 x 125 x 75 mm) and light weight
(3.66 kg with battery and without press clamp) this new press has
many standard fittings available, which ease the work of the installer
at the building site, while at the same time improving the profitability.

Innovative press technology for a better performance
With the ROMAX 3000, copper and stainless-steel fittings can be
quickly pressed to a nominal width of Ø 12 to 108 mm, and plastic
fittings from Ø 12 up to 75 mm. With the powerful motor the press
process is reduced to just under 5 seconds. A constant axial
pressing force of 32-34 kN is provided by the proven Constant
Force Technology. The automatic forced cycle assures that the
pin does not reverse until the needed press force is achieved.
Even adverse weather conditions don’t affect the ROMAX 3000.
The technology is designed for use in temperatures from -10° C
up to 60° C. An important plus for the craftsman is a 20,000 press
cycle service interval. The Li-ion battery (18 V / 3.0 Ah) provides
long lasting efficiency which enables up to 160 pressings (28 mm
stainless steel) or 90 pressings (54 mm stainless steel). During
development special attention was paid to the handling. The soft-grip
offers safe and reliable use. The ergonomic form of the machine and
a balanced weight-distribution ease the use on the building site.
With the ROMAX 3000 even the operation in cramped spaces is
not a problem. Even easier is the pressing in hard to access
building site situations, with the additional set of press rings for
metal pipes up to Ø 35 mm (available separately). Each set
includes the press jaw ZB 1 and a press ring with SV contour or M
contour. The M contour is only available in the ROTHENBERGER
program.

The ROMAX 3000 Kit
2 LED’s to light hidden press areas belong to the kits equipment
just as much as a 2-step button (for the light and to start the press
cycle) and an emergency shut-off switch. The press jaw
attachment can be rotated 270° and a safety latch prevents
unintentional opening. A LED display shows the battery status and
counts the press cycles until the next service. The ROMAX 3000
press jaw attachment is compatible for system dependent
ROTHENBERGER quality press jaws and a multitude of suitable
press jaws from other manufactures with a constant axial pressing
force of 32-34 kN.
