Our 450 tonne compression moulding presses are able to utilise and reach 450°C heated platen. This showcases how our presses are not just powerful, but thermally precise and capable of processing all different materials. This equipment delivers the performance required for critical industries.
Bespoke Capability Baseline: The 450 Tonne High-Thermal Platform
These proven specifications showcase a press of this style, currently utilised in manufacturing high-density composite ballistic products. Every parameter is a point of reference for the specialised solution we will engineer for you:
| PARTS | METRIC | IMPERIAL |
|---|---|---|
| Daylight Between Heated Platens | 762 mm | 30 in |
| Heated Platen Sizes (Up To) | 762mm x 762mm | 30″x30″ |
| Max Working Platen Temperature | 450°C | |
| Main Ram Stroke (Up To) | 610mm | 24 in |
| Heating Platens Per Zone | 6 | |
Utilising PLC control systems, provides absolute process repeatability, by giving you control and the requirement for component certification in the defence and aerospace sectors. Alongside this, is a newly integrated hydraulic manifold with proportional control, enabling operators to apply the 450 tonnes of force with surgical precision, crucial for achieving perfect de-gassing and uniform material flow in high-density composites.
The front raising guard and hinged rear door ensure operational confidence while safeguarding the operator and protecting the parts. Ensuring safety for the operator during the runtime, along with protecting the parts. Finally, with safety interlock functionality, the press remains safe and secure at all required times.
Featuring an integrated air and water cooling system, cool heating platens at the end of the cycle cuts cycle times. This is achieved by eliminating passive cool-down delays, with the extra benefit of ensuring optimised material crystallisation and integrity. Granting you rapid production without compromising strength for both your own and our company.
Overall, this 450 tonne compression moulding press is a highly specially designed press, made for intense uses. This showcases our engineering excellence. If your project requires different parameters, our team specialises in fully bespoke solutions. Whether the tonnage, heating methods, platen size, or material handling systems need to change, we design to your exact production needs.
