Handle clamps

The exothermic welding is a self-sufficient process to achieve high quality electrical connections between copper, copper alloys or steel conductors. The process implies the use of a graphite mold allowing the molten metal present inside to come in contact with the conductors present and to weld them in a definitive way.

The pre-assembly of the different parts of a mold as well as the holding of the conductors or elements to be welded present in the mold, is carried out using a handle clamp adapted to each mold size:

1. HCB00 handle clamps are used with the mini molds (size B - references •••-B-•••)
2. HCC00 handle clamps are used with the standard molds (size B - references •••-C-•••)
3. HCD00 handle clamps are used with the maxi molds (size V or D - references •••-V-••• or •••-D-•••)

► How to choose all the required exothermic welding materials ?

To choose all of the required materials, follow the steps below:

1. Select the graphite mold
2. Select the handle clamp
3. Select the metal powder
4. Select the ignition method
5. Select the accessories and safety equipments

► What if the welding configuration is not available on MALTEP website ?

MALTEP also manufactures graphite molds for the realization of particular welding configuration.

Do not hesitate to consult us for any particular request with the following welding inputs:

• The configuration  of the weld: tee, parallel, etc..
• The nature of the conductors to be welded: cable, round, rebar, etc. (note that aluminium is not suitable with exothermic welding)
• The cross section, diameter, conductors dimensions
• The number of welds to be done for each type of weld
