Mini-Jector Models 45-C and 50-C were designed to allow the operator to over-mold a cable without passing the cable through the machine, making them ideal for seismic cable repair. The Model 45-C can operate with a compressed air source and requires 110 V, single phase, 60 Hz power. It is also available in 220 V, 50 Hz for international applications.

Likewise the Model 50-C, with its self-contained hydraulic power unit, can operate on 50 or 60 Hz, 220V single or three-phase power.

The operation of either model is very simple, as the cable is placed in the mold at the point requiring repair. The cable is put into the C-Frame opening, and the mold and cable slide into position for molding. The operator then turns a switch, and the machine cycles through the molding process. After the molding process is complete, the operator slides the mold out of the machine and removes the cable from the "V mold" halves.

The picture on the left shows an example of a cable over-molded using our seismic cable repair mold.

The picture on the right below shows the "C" frame and "V-mold" concept, using one of our mold blanks. For actual molding, the mold would have a thru cavity for the cable and an oversized cavity for the repair area.

The machines are very rugged and can withstand the rigors of a mobile, outdoor environment.
