Hydraulic Presses - Your Application - Industrial

French makes ruggedly-built hydraulic presses for many industrial applications, including these:

  • Sealing Components
  • Gaskets
  • Bearings
  • Electrical Components
  • Printer Rollers
  • Compaction Products
  • Clamshell Press

    This clamshell press design allows the lower platen to shuttle out, while the upper platen extends out and tilts upward. This arrangement provides easy access to the mold tooling for material loading and part removal. The result is more consistent dimensional part characteristics by providing uniform heating and pressure across the mold. This design is also provides good ergonomics by eliminating any lifting of the mold by the operator.

    Special Platen Designs

    Special platen designs help provide uniform heating across the mold. Low deflection means accurate, uniform parts which require little or no post handling, and very low scrap rates. Heavy-duty construction guarantees years of reliable service with minimal downtime. French combines a rugged patented taper key sideplate press design, with highly dependable and efficient electrical and hydraulic systems. Many of the design features not only extend the life of the press, but also produce more consistent and higher quality parts at higher cycle rates. They contribute to the lowering of production costs by reducing scrap rate, flash and post handling requirements while using less operating energy. This dependability helps reduce the Total Life Cycle Costs, while improving overall profitability.

    Long-Stroke Compaction Press

    This long stroke press system is specifically designed the compaction molding of granular and powdered materials such as Teflon, and fluoroelastomers. Integrated with this press system is a precision control package to improve the accuracy and parameter control. Pressure, speed, and position can be greatly improved to levels that are near to servo valve technology. The results are substantial production flexibility, optimization, and very consistent part quality. Many customers have been able to reduce the scrap rates that exceeded 25% to nearly zero because of the specialized compaction control.
