MAX-18 COMPACT
The Max 18 Compact is a small and very lightweight extruder, ideal for precise work and confined spaces without losing welding power.
Strong welds without using heavy equipment
Its compact size makes it much easier to handle in difficult areas or awkward positions, yet it still achieves strong bonds in plastics such as PE and PP for long-lasting repairs.
Ideal for quick and reliable maintenance
It heats up quickly, runs smoothly, and lets you finish the job without long breaks. Perfect for field repairs or adjustments where immediate efficiency is needed.
Easy to handle for better results
The adjustments are simple and the welding flow is even, resulting in clean finishes and less rework, even with operators who are just learning.
Made to move with you to any project
Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry around the construction site or workshop. A great help when you need to move around constantly or work in awkward areas.

TIPS MAX-18 COMPACT
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.
