Custom Designs

Our core mission revolves around collaborating with various stakeholders by creating, producing, and servicing customized equipment. These stakeholders encompass a global clientele, our dedicated employees, our cherished families, our valued shareholders, our trusted suppliers, the communities we engage with, and our homeland.

What We Manufacture – Custom Hydraulic Press, Oilseed Equipment, Polymer Equipment, and More...

French's in-house manufacturing facility ensures top-notch quality with superior service. We craft tailored equipment and components for Hydraulic Presses, Rubber Mixers, Oilseed and Polymer machinery, adhering rigorously to ISO 9001:2015 certified procedures.

Our expertise extends to custom metalworking, machining, and fabrication for diverse industrial needs. Proficiency in machining, assembly, and inspection empowers us to handle full projects efficiently. Contact French to learn more about this service.

Our machine tools span from manual to computerized machining centers, offering capabilities such as boring, turning, milling, grinding, drilling, and key seating. In March 2017, we invested in three new CNC machine tools—a bridge mill, a vertical turning lathe, and a horizontal machining center—expanding our machining capacity. In 2023, we saw an addition of two more machines tools, highlighting our dedication to forward progress.

With crane capacities of 30 tons and hook clearances of 23 feet, we offer versatile solutions, covering everything from machining and fabrication to final assembly.

Custom Hydraulic Press Manufacturing and More – Tailored to Your Operations

With a history spanning more than a century, we've joined forces with stakeholders across more than 80 countries worldwide, delivering products renowned for their exceptional value and service, ultimately enhancing our customers' productivity and reducing their overall production costs.

Our experienced engineers partner with our customers to understand their unique processing requirements and custom design each order to improve their manufacturing methods and product quality.

Computer-Aided Design

French employs established engineering and project management tools to ensure that your customized equipment adheres to the highest standards. For instance, we make use of cutting-edge 3D SolidWorks and CAD software, which not only streamlines our engineering processes but also reduces lead times for your custom equipment.

Our engineering software enables swift customization of our machines through parametric designs, and we possess advanced tools to enhance our compatibility with various drawing formats. Our team of Certified SolidWorks Users utilizes the latest tools to craft assembly diagrams, plant layouts, foundation loading diagrams, and detailed machining drawings—all in pursuit of delivering exceptional value and strengthening our partnership with our customers.

Project Management and Proofing

French assigns a dedicated Project Manager to oversee each new order, serving as a single, knowledgeable point of contact for directing schedules, approval drawings, manuals, and addressing any queries. Our selection of Project Managers is based on their expertise in the specific machinery involved in your order. If desired, we can provide Gantt charts to track progress throughout the project.

Our engineers at French employ FEA (finite-element analysis) software and field laser-alignment equipment data to validate machinery designs. Furthermore, they regularly conduct energy studies aimed at reducing operational costs from a utility perspective.

Using models generated in our SolidWorks and CAD software, we import them into advanced FEA software to conduct linear static analyses. Thermal, vibration, and non-linear analyses are also available. Our engineers conduct practical laser alignment experiments within customers' facilities. These experiments yield valuable data on part deflections and validate our engineering analyses.

When creating deflection plots for our parts, our engineers deliberately exaggerate deflections as part of their analysis to visualize how the part behaves under real-world loading conditions. We leverage this data to ensure that our parts perform effectively under demanding loading conditions while also optimizing weight and cost.
