Siegling Blizzard
the turbo-cooled
lightweight combo press
The Siegling Blizzard heating press sets new standards in terms of easy handling,superior productivity and excellent splice quality. It can be used on conveyor
belts for Z-, Z-overlap and overlap-splices. It’s available in two versions, as abasic model where splices are heated by pressing controls on the press itself,
or as an iCON version with mobile devices controlling the procedure.
Forbo Siegling is a leading manufacturer of conveyor and powertransmission belts. It offers not just first-class splicing equipment,
but in-depth theoretical and application-driven splicing expertise.

A modern, compact
and lightweight design

The tools complement one another and guarantee efficientand durable splices due to:–	high-quality equipment with all the accessories;– a comprehensive range of services;– detailed instructions.

BASIC MODELThe Siegling Blizzard is easy to use with fast cycle time. It
sets new standards in splicing conveyor belts. Once you’ve
set up the press and pressed the on button, the heatingand cooling procedure in the press runs automatically.

Because it’s so straightforward to use, depending on
the splice, the cycles can be cut to 8 to 15 minutes on
average, while the quality of the splice is maintained.

The Siegling Blizzard press is supplied with a flight caseon rollers. Because it’s so compact and lightweight, it’s quick
and easy to set up. It’s ready to use as soon as you’ve
plugged it into the mains because there’s no need toconnect it to external subsystems.

Due to the design of the Siegling Blizzard press with its
particularly wide platens and integrated cooling zone,
you’ll be able to make very strong splices with excellent
thickness tolerances.

> The control unit,> compressor and> air cooling system are integrated in the press.
This saves time and costs, prevents errors during
operation and ensures hygiene on site.

Less downtime increases productivity.

Good-quality splices will increase the availabilityof your conveyor.

First-hand expertise
Forbo Siegling would be happy to advise you on the best
splice type for your application. You can find the correct
parameters for each belt type and the accessories requiredin our HP app.

4Easy to use and with consistently
accurate splices
Two quick-clamping bars make inserting, positioning and affixing the ends ofbelts in the bottom of the press easier. These clamping bars ensure that thematerial stays exactly in the right position until the top of the press is appliedand clamped in place.
The Siegling Blizzard press has three controllers:– controller 1 (at the top): to program the temperature and time;– controller 2 (in the middle): to program the temperature and time;– controller 3 (at the bottom): to pre-set the pressure required.

As specified in the Forbo Siegling splicing instructions for different materials,
temperature, dwell time and pressure are easy to set. Instructions on the display
take the user systematically through the menu. The actual splicing process iscarried out automatically.
Customized parameters can be pre-set depending on the belt type, fabric andcoating material. Different or the same temperatures can also be selected forthe top and bottom heating platen. The dwell time can be set to the second andis shown in a countdown. The preheating cycle can be programmed gradually.
This flexibility means the Siegling Blizzard press is very versatile and can evenallow welding of belts with extremely thin thermoplastic coatings, as well as
thick and minimal thermally conductive belt materials where particularly stable
distribution of the temperature over the whole of the heating platens is required.
The cooling zones, integrated on both sides of the heating platens, guaranteethat the splice cools down evenly and ensure flat splices with exact tolerances.
Due to the special design features and the lack of any fiberglass or metal inlays
that could lead to differences in pressure, the Siegling Blizzard press is ideal for
top-level requirements:– with accurate thickness over the entire width of the belt;– with a flat surface with virtually no shine and no bumps next to the splice;– with less shrinkage of the splice fingers;– without the heating platens leaving any marks on the belt surface.
For detailed information on how to operate the press, refer to your Blizzard
heating press operating instructions (ref. no. 326) and our HP app.

5Siegling Blizzard
ICON type
In terms of design and functionality, Siegling Blizzard iCON
heating presses are identical to the basic model and canbe controlled via mobile devices thanks to an additionalmodule.
The integrated iCON app makes using the iCON press convenient and reliable via virtually any device, whether it’s acell phone, tablet or laptop. The app can be used anywhere.
It requires no internet access itself but uses WiFi net provided by the press.
The App is simple and intuitive to use. Users can retrieve
pre-saved recipes, enter new parameters and save them as arecipe or just make the required settings remotely.
You can retrofit any Siegling Blizzard basic model you
already have. To find out more, get in touch with us, we’d be
happy to advise.
Any heating procedure can be monitored via the app in realtime and is automatically stored in a detailed report. The
reports can be displayed on the mobile device or exported
as PDFs.
The key features:■ Intuitive usability■ Splice data management■ Documentation

Intuitive usabilityThe app’s simple and clear user interface makes using it abreeze. Whether you want to set heating parameters, look
for and load splice data or make manual entries, figuring out
how to use it is almost automatic.
The iCon app makes everyone experts from thevery beginning.

6

Managing splice data
The splicing info for many belt types is already stored in the factory on
any Blizzard iCON press shipped. The app allows you to look for thebelt type and relevant splicing info in this database quickly and easily.
Several thousand different recipes can be stored on the press. Quickand straightforward access to the data required makes the job mucheasier by saving time and guaranteeing reliability and reproducibility.
If the belt type concerned is not yet in the database, new parameterscan, of course, be entered manually and saved as a recipe.
With a big memory that produces results fast.

Can be used anywhere
The Blizzard iCON press doesn’t need a internet connection.
The press emits a Wi-Fi signal for the mobile device to pick up.
Therefore, the Blizzard iCON press can also be used in anyshielded rooms.

7Documentation
Monitor any heating procedure on
your mobile device live. As a result,you’ll be able to see all the key heating
parameters without being near thepress:

The detailed report with a heating diagram is stored automatically in the heatingpress. The mobile device can retrieve the report at any time or export it to thedevice as a PDF. The PDF lets you access a report without having to be connectedto the heating press.
Documented quality – live or as a record at any time.
