Manufacturer of Hydraulic Presses

What you need to know about Hydraulic Press Manufacturers

April 25, 2019

Hydraulic presses use the principle of Pascal’s law to generate a compressive force using a hydraulic cylinder. Therefore, to crush something, these devices use the pressure that’s exerted on the fluids. Some of the things that you should know about hydraulic manufacturers include:
 

i. Applications Hydraulic presses


Hydraulic presses are mainly used in construction, companies, wood processing depots, metal industries and in other industrial applications because they lift and compress large items. These devices can be used in deep drawing, blanking, molding, forging, metal-forming processes, punching and clinching. In addition, hydraulic presses can laminate or fabricate wooden components, MDF boards, plywoods, and partition boards.
 

ii. Types of Hydraulic presses


There are different types of hydraulic press machines including Pneumatic presses, laminating presses, power presses, and C-frame presses among others. Even though modern hydraulic presses are efficient and occupy less space, the earlier versions occupied a lot of space and they were uneconomical. Nowadays, presses are compact to ease installation, maintenance, and commissioning.
 

iii. Advantages of Hydraulic presses


Hydraulic presses are highly sturdy because they are made of a radial piston and a fast closing piston. Their sturdy nature enhances safety and increases efficiency. In fact, these devices have minimum deflection even if they are working under maximum load condition. Therefore, the working area receives uniform pressing thus resulting in minimal power consumption. Furthermore, you can choose between manual or hydraulic presses depending on what you are working on and your preference. However, automatic hydraulic presses have additional safety measures (for instance interlocking and barrier guards) that should be considered when handling these machines.
 

iv. Capacities of Hydraulic presses


Hydraulic presses have a wide range of capacities that include 100 tons, 150 tons, 640 tons, etc. up to 40,000 tons. It is important to understand the different capacities before investing in any of the machines. These capacities can determine the type of work a hydraulic press can do. For instance, 640 tons press can do simple tasks like blackboard presses, plywood presses, and door presses, etc. On the other hand, a 6,000 tons press can complete difficult tasks that include making of wood compreg.

Therefore, before you decide on the type of press you will invest on, researching the pros, cons, price ranges, the tasks a press can complete, reading reviews and checking rating and comments from other users is highly recommended. It is easier to make the right choice or save a great deal of money if you are knowledgeable about hydraulic presses.
