THE KRAKEN - ECO. Wheel Destressing machine

The new kraken ECO is our new budget-friendly machine for the semi-professional or part-time wheelbuilder! Our newest ECO version is the outcome of a decade of daily use and of joint development by professional wheelbuilders around the world. 
It is a must-have legal machine* for professional wheelbuilders that want to achieve the highest quality wheels and help eliminate aftersales service work such as tension loss or re-alignment of wheels due to inadequite manual destressing procedures. Another big advantage is that machine helps eliminate the high fysical demands of manual destressing. 
 
The Kraken ECO is functionally equal to our PRO version, but built with budget-friendly components and compatible with wheels from from lightweight (racing) to heavy (E-bike and enduro).

Procedure description:
When starting the destressing procedure, the user simply sets the desired set pressure (endforce in table) and places the wheel on the support. One of the included set of Delrin® adapters can then be placed on the hub, fitting any geometry. Or choose to apply the Delrin® pressing shell on the spokes directly. When ready to start destressing, the OSHA/ISO certified 2-hand safety control system requires both command buttons to be pressed within 0,5sec of each other and helt during the entire procedure. A smooth and degressivly regulated destressing procedure will follow, allowing the user to monitor and stop at any chosen time until the max. set pressure is reached. If one or both buttons is released, this will act as an emergancy stop and the procedure will be aborted immidiately. 
Commonly, the procedure is repeated at least two times on each side of the wheel during a build. 
If the option for an integrated timer is chosen, the user can activate a second functionality to follow textile spoke destressing potocols (for example 1 or 2 minutes of automatic destressing).

* Important remarks: 
Machines clearly distiquish from static tools. A machine must always comply to CE, OSHA  (or local equivilant) safety regulations and certifications. This also applies for self-made or self-imported machines for in-company use, though it is a persistant myth amongst wheelbuilders that this would not the case. 
Contact your local safety and health authority to check which standard conformity is mandatory for your situation and location.
