Composite & Plastic
As industries increasingly focus on lightweight design, strength, and energy efficiency, composite and plastic materials are replacing metals in a wide range of applications — from automotive and aerospace to home appliances and defense.
At the core of this transformation lies hydraulic press technology, enabling the precise control of pressure, temperature, and cycle time during the molding of thermoplastic and thermoset materials.
Composite and Plastic Forming Processes
-
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) Molding
Used for automotive body panels, bumper carriers, and interior trim components. -
Thermoplastic Hot Pressing
Heated sheets are formed and cooled rapidly under controlled pressure. -
RTM and Prepreg Compression Systems
Ideal for producing high-strength, lightweight fiber-reinforced components. -
Foam or Sandwich Panel Compression
Ensures uniform density and rigidity in lightweight structural elements.
Hydraulic presses ensure precise pressure control, temperature uniformity, and optimal mold closing force, all critical to achieving repeatable and high-quality parts.
Advantages
-
Superior Surface Quality & Reduced Defects
Even pressure distribution prevents bubbles, cracks, and surface deformation. -
Lightweight yet Strong Components
Enables the replacement of metal parts with composite alternatives. -
Energy Efficiency & Fast Cycle Time
Servo-hydraulic systems only consume power when needed, shortening cycles. -
Automation & Data Traceability
Real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, and cycle parameters ensures full process control.
Applications
