Custom Features:
- Upper cavity forming pressure 20 tons, lower cavity forming pressure 20 tons
- Both presses share a common HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) and Controls System
- (8) chrome housing posts with graphite impregnated bronze bushings for superior ram guidance and rigidity
- Mold extraction system allows for fork truck removal of larger molds
- Upper cavity’s force created by “pull-up” action cylinders, lower cavity force created with up acting cylinders
- Platens are drilled and plugged for serpentine flow of steam heating up to 275°F
- (2) pneumatic dwell systems allow the primary electric motor & pump to be turned ‘off’ during prolonged dwell periods for increased energy efficiency and reduced noise
- Globe valves for regulating steam flow through platens
- Emergency steam shutoff
- Decompression circuit included for the springs inside of the molds
- Calculated Ram Speeds: Approach: 101 IPM; Return: 198 IPM
