Scope of Application for a 200-ton Three-Cylinder Large-Scale Tabletop Hot Press

The 200-ton three-cylinder large-scale tabletop hot press is a heavy-duty, precision, and multi-functional thermoforming equipment. Its structural feature is the synchronous drive of three hydraulic cylinders. The worktable resembles a sturdy table (usually fixed or finely adjustable), possessing a powerful nominal pressure (200 tons) and uniform pressure application capability. Its application scope is very wide, mainly concentrated in industrial fields requiring high temperature, high pressure, long-term pressure holding, and high flatness and surface quality requirements. Below is a sharing from Jianlong Hydraulic Technology for your reference!

1. Core Applicable Industries and Processes

1.1 Composite Material Molding

• Wood-based Panel Industry: This is the core application area. Used for pressing high-density fiberboard, particleboard, plywood, decorative fireproof boards, etc. Wood chips, fibers, and adhesives are cured and molded through heating and pressure.

• Advanced Composite Materials: Used for the hot pressing and curing of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), fiberglass reinforced plastic (GFRP), honeycomb sandwich panels, and other components. Crucial in aerospace, rail transportation, and sporting goods manufacturing (e.g., golf clubs, bicycle frames).

• SMC/BMC molding: Hot pressing of sheet/bulk molding compounds to produce automotive parts (e.g., bumpers, battery covers), electrical equipment housings, bathroom products, etc.

1.2 Rubber Product Vulcanization

• Tire Industry: Used for preforming tire components and vulcanizing small tires.

• Industrial Rubber Parts: Mass production of seals, shock absorbers, conveyor belt joints, rubber sheets, silicone products, etc. High temperature and high pressure ensure full vulcanization of rubber to achieve optimal physical properties.

1.3 Plastic Product Processing

• Thermoplastic Sheet Molding: Hot pressing of PP, PE, ABS, etc., to produce linings for large containers, billboard bases, etc.

• Thermosetting Plastic Molding: Compression molding of parts such as phenolic resin and epoxy resin.

• PVC Film Lamination: Used for embossing and laminating PVC flooring, leather-textured films, etc.

1.4 Building Materials and Decorative Materials

• Construction Formwork: Production of plastic-coated construction formwork and high-strength concrete formwork.

• Decorative Building Materials: Pressed stone composite panels, metal composite panels, wood-plastic composite panels, and reinforced flooring.

• Refractory Materials: Production of asbestos boards, calcium silicate boards, magnesium boards, and other fire-resistant and heat-insulating materials.

1.5 Electronics and Electrical Industry

• Circuit Board (PCB) Lamination: Used for laminating multilayer printed circuit boards to ensure tight bonding between layers.

• Insulating Materials: Production of mica boards, insulating sheets, and transformer insulation components.

• Magnetic Materials: Pressing and molding ferrite cores and permanent magnets.

1.6 Powder Metallurgy and Ceramic Forming

• Powder Metallurgy: Pressing metal powders (such as iron-based and copper-based powders) into high-strength, complex part blanks, followed by sintering.

• Ceramic Blanks: Production of blanks for special ceramics and industrial ceramics.

2. Advantages of the Equipment Features (Strongly Related to Applicability)

2.1 Three-cylinder structure (usually arranged in a triangle): Provides extremely uniform and stable pressure distribution, particularly suitable for pressing large-size sheets, effectively preventing warping and ensuring consistent product thickness and density.

2.2 High tonnage (200 tons): Capable of compressing high-density materials and processes requiring extremely high molding pressure.

2.3 Tabletop (platform) structure: High rigidity and strong load-bearing capacity, providing a stable foundation for mold installation and large workpieces. The worktable is typically wide.

2.4 Heating methods (steam, electricity, heat transfer oil): Enables precise temperature control (typically up to 200°C-300°C or higher), meeting the curing, vulcanization, and softening temperature requirements of different materials.

2.5 Pressure holding function: Can maintain the set pressure for extended periods, ensuring complete resin curing and rubber vulcanization, among other chemical reactions.

3. Typical Pressed Products Examples

3.1 Sheet Metals: Large-format engineered wood panels, insulating boards, composite flooring, container wood flooring, fireproof boards, embossed door panels.

3.2 Components: Automotive interior parts, carbon fiber helmets, drone frames, rubber seals, gear blanks, electrical panels.

3.3 Others: Stadium seating, laboratory countertops, high-voltage cable connectors, tombstones, etc.

The 200-ton three-cylinder large-scale tabletop hot press is essentially a heavy-duty hot pressing equipment suitable for the large-scale production of "flat" products. Its core application is in industries that need to transform powdered, sheet-like, fibrous, or pre-formed materials into high-density, high-strength flat plates or relatively simple three-dimensional products through hot pressing. When selecting a hot press, the hot plate size, heating method, control precision, and automated loading/unloading system must be customized based on the specific materials (e.g., wood, rubber, composite materials), process parameters (temperature, pressure, time), product size, and production capacity requirements.
