Heated Platen Presses

Heated platen presses are widely used in numerous industries to fabricate components requiring controlled temperature and pressure. They're perfect for applications such as rubber molding, laminates, and forestry products.

The press's forming pressure and heat distribution are determined by the part's type and materials. Tonnages and speeds can be adjusted based on these variables.

Air Operated Hydraulic Presses

Air operated hydraulic presses offer the power you need without the need for an electrical hookup. They come in a range of sizes and provide the same pushing force as electric presses.

Hydraulic presses use a pressure-generating pump to push steel cylinders into workpieces or parts at an adjustable force. They're useful tools in many industries for assembly, fabrication and maintenance tasks.

The primary distinction between hydraulic and pneumatic presses is that the former uses pressurized liquid, while the latter utilizes compressed gas or air. A pneumatic press' cylinder can be adjusted to manipulate workpieces while a hydraulic press requires an extended ram and pump for pressure application.

Pneumatic presses are faster and simpler to operate, enabling extractors to set their desired pressure levels more precisely. Furthermore, they cost-effectively purchase and install compared to hydraulic presses - making them perfect for small to medium rosin extraction operations.

Single Acting Hydraulic Presses

A hydraulic press operates on the principle that pressure builds up throughout its closed system, creating equal force in all directions. Furthermore, since there are no gears or complex braking mechanisms needed, this cost-effective manufacturing tool can produce quality parts and components with precision.

Hydraulic presses come in a range of styles, such as single acting, double acting and multi-station models. Some models boast adjustable retract limit switches which enable users to set the ram's retract distance (or "up limit") at any predetermined pressure level.

Operators can limit the amount of force used to load or unload parts, thus drastically cutting cycle times.

A single acting hydraulic press is ideal for small production or repair shops where space and floor space are limited. It also has applications in maintenance buildings and production assembly lines with either a hand pump for low volume jobs, as well as air and electrical pumps when consistent operation is required.

Double Acting Hydraulic Presses

A double acting hydraulic press is a type of press that uses a cylinder with the capacity to extend and retract in two directions. It's commonly used in manufacturing industries for tasks like opening and closing doors, lifting merchandise off conveyor belts, as well as moving earthmoving equipment and materials.

These presses are often employed in laboratories to conduct various tests and create quality control samples for production. They come with a range of stroke sizes and bores designed specifically for different work processes.

Metalworkers find this type of press to be particularly helpful, as it allows them to straighten and form heavy workpieces. With its movable table, the press can easily be loaded by forklift or crane, while the ram head can be adjusted forward or backward to accommodate various work points along the surface.

A double acting press can be an invaluable addition to any production shop, as it offers greater power and capacity than single acting presses. Furthermore, it's more efficient and cost-effective than using a conventional mechanical press.

Dake Manual H-Frame Presses

For heavy duty metal working tasks, the Dake Corporation B-10 hydraulic press is your ideal solution. This heavy-duty model boasts a 3 ton capacity, heat treated ram and machined table plate for precision positioning. Plus, its adjustable handle allows you to adjust it according to your comfort level.

These presses come in manual, pneumatic and electric versions for numerous tasks such as bending, straightening, pressing and even lifting. Manufactured in the USA, they can be used either in a shop setting or cleanroom environment with ease.

These presses can be used for a variety of tasks, such as installing and removing gears, pulleys and pins. They're also great at repairing small motor and armature components due to their durable cast iron frame construction with heat treated ram. Plus, their easy-to-use design means you won't have any difficulty performing metalworking tasks with them.
