2-side presses

Abrapress 2-side presses are used for cold pressing of abrasive material. They are characterized by a front loading, that is generally manually carried out by the operator. The unloading of the finished product can occur either in manual or in automatic mode. The tooling is generally installed on a cart that allows the operator to work outside the machine. The same cart is later positioned underneath the ram. The structure of the press consists of 4 classic columns or electrowelded steel structures.

Pressing in the moulds is carried out by means of a hydraulic-control ram with different diameters and working pressures to meet the customer’s needs. The turning table for the mould positioning can be of different dimensions too.

The mould generally consists of a multi-cavity tooling but can also be single. The versatility of this machine lies in the tooling changeover and the possibility of producing several wheel sizes on the same machine. As the machine has 2 sides, it is possible to install 2 different types of tooling and to ensure an automatic upper mould changeover under the ram.

All subassemblies necessary for production, i.e. the ejector and the wheel removers, can be hydraulically or electrically controlled by means of brushless motors.

The abrasive material can be loaded either in manual or in automatic mode by means of buckets and crushers or mixing tanks and belts, while the material levelling is always carried out with a shuttle box.
