Custom Designs

Our core mission revolves around collaborating with various stakeholders. We focus on creating, producing, and servicing customized equipment, particularly custom hydraulic presses. Our stakeholders include a global clientele, dedicated employees, cherished families, valued shareholders, trusted suppliers, engaged communities, 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 and superior service. We craft tailored equipment and components for hydraulic presses, rubber mixers, and oilseed and polymer machinery. We adhere rigorously to ISO 9001:2015 certified procedures.

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

Our machine tools range from manual to computerized machining centers. These offer 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. In 2023, we added two more machine tools, highlighting our dedication to progress.

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

Custom Hydraulic Press Manufacturing and More – Tailored to Your Operations

For over a century, we've partnered with stakeholders in more than 80 countries. We deliver products renowned for their exceptional value and service, enhancing our customers' productivity and reducing overall production costs.

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

Computer-Aided Design

French employs advanced engineering and project management tools to ensure the highest standards for your customized equipment. We use cutting-edge 3D SolidWorks and CAD software, streamlining engineering processes and reducing lead times for your custom equipment.

Our engineering software enables swift customization of our machines through parametric designs. We also possess advanced tools to enhance compatibility with various drawing formats. Our Certified SolidWorks Users craft assembly diagrams, plant layouts, foundation loading diagrams, and detailed machining drawings to deliver exceptional value and strengthen customer partnerships.

Project Management and Proofing

Each new order at French is overseen by a dedicated Project Manager, who serves as a knowledgeable point of contact. They direct schedules, approval drawings, manuals, and address any queries. We select Project Managers based on their expertise in the specific machinery involved. If desired, we provide Gantt charts to track progress throughout the project.

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

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

When creating deflection plots, our engineers deliberately exaggerate deflections to visualize real-world behavior. This data ensures parts perform effectively under demanding conditions while optimizing weight and cost.
