Composite Compression Moulding Press

How this press is built

Engineered to achieve void-free internal structure in SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels (Platen working area 816 × 816 mm with dual electric heating), the Composite Compression Moulding Press utilizes a heavy-duty 66 Ton hydraulic frame with variable-frequency motor control. The ram advances swiftly to the powder contact point, then switches automatically to tonnage mode, applying uniform consolidation across a 38-second dwell cycle. Decompression is metered through proportional relief valving to eliminate tensile stress rebounds, after which a bottom-mounted stripper assembly lifts the part cleanly from the die.

Material behaviour under compaction

With reinforced structural columns, the press handles high-pressure compaction of thermoset compounds (SMC/BMC/bakelite) & friction mix powders without platen tilting. This ensures consistent green density across the entire cross-section, reducing shrinkage anomalies during subsequent thermal processing.

Tooling and die design

The press table is engineered for rapid die clamping with reinforced bolster plates. In-house manufactured punch and die sets for SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels utilize through-hardened tool steel with micro-honed surfaces to eliminate wall drag during ejection.

Sizing and machine selection

Engineers evaluating the Composite Compression Moulding Press should supply drawing tolerances, raw resin grade, and expected batch volume. We review hydraulic force parameters (66 Ton standard) and provide complete engineering documentation and tooling layouts.

Quality checks and inspection

Each press is tested against strict quality standards at our Dahegam facility: laser alignment of bolsters, continuous pressure dwell cycling, and green compact density verification.

Installation and commissioning

Comprehensive documentation packs accompany each shipment, including foundation details, electrical schematics, hydraulic valve layouts, and PLC program backups. Our service team offers worldwide on-site installation and commissioning.

Export packing and lead time

Export machines feature multi-voltage panels (380V/60Hz), seaworthy barrier packaging, and complete IEC shipping paperwork for container dispatch from Mundra port.

Maintenance and spare parts

The machine design simplifies servicing with accessible hydraulic manifold blocks, centralized grease lubrication points, and quick-access filter assemblies. Full spare parts backup and seal refurbishment kits are supplied from our Dahegam stock.

Safety and guarding

Comprehensive safety equipment includes dual optical light curtains, synchronized two-hand pushbuttons, hydraulic safety drop valves, and protective side mesh panels.
