Low Deflection, Multi Press System

This up-acting hydraulic sideplate press was custom engineered for golf ball manufacturing. The press is part of a multiple press system designed with special low deflection to produce extremely consistent ball size throughout the numerous mold cavities. The presses can be set for variable tonnage from 50 to 678-tons and include specialized steam heated Isoplatens for uniform temperature distribution and multiple daylights with independent hydraulic control. This specialized hydraulic design allows synchronized motion control of the open, close, and bumps sequences to maintain a similar molding process within each daylight. The press cell system utilizes a central hydraulic system with a common reservoir to reduce floor space. Per the customer’s requirements, the press system also includes two remote control stations and auxiliary mold knock out capability.
