The Novatek Novastrip 378 is a mid-size infrared tile stripper that softens the adhesive under two 12" x 12" or three 9" x 9" tiles per cycle, so they lift off intact. Its heat panel uses individual ceramic emitter strips that can each be replaced, and it runs from a grounded 115/120 V, single phase outlet; Novatek's manual calls for a 20 amp circuit.
The 378 carries the same programmable temperature and timer controller as the Novastrip 1026, with a key switch, emergency stop and an alarm at the end of every cycle. At 45 lbs on wheels with a removable handle, it is sized for rooms, hallways and schools where a crew wants dry, intact tile removal without a 220 V supply.
Features
Two Tiles per Cycle
A 378 square inch footprint heats two 12" x 12" or three 9" x 9" tiles each cycle.
Runs on 115/120 V
Plugs into a grounded 115/120 V, single phase outlet; Novatek's manual calls for a 20 amp circuit.
Keypad Temperature and Timer Control
A thermocouple-fed controller holds the set temperature and counts down a cycle of up to 59.99, sounding an alarm at zero.
Key Switch and Emergency Stop
The key switch blocks unauthorized use, and the emergency stop cuts power to the controls and heat panel at once.
Automatic Cool Down
If the reset button is not pressed within 20 seconds of a cycle ending, the unit goes into cool down mode.
Replaceable Emitter Strips
Individual ceramic emitter strips can be replaced without changing the whole heat panel.
45 lbs with Removable Handle
Light aluminum construction on wheels, with a handle that comes off for shipping.
