The capacity to process these materials depends on the pressure exerted by the hydraulic press, which can range from a few tons to thousands of tons. Moreover, some materials may require specific press configurations, such as heated platens for plastics and composites, or specialized dies for metal forming. Safety measures must also be considered when processing materials, especially to prevent over-pressurization or machine overload.
Hydraulic presses can process a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, rubber, wood, and composites. Hydraulic presses use the static pressure of a liquid to shape, deform, and configure these materials. If you need hydraulic press, please contact us for your hydraulic press solution.
