Laminating Presses
Laminating presses are manually-operated hydraulic presses with stacked heating and cooling platens. By heating one opening of the press while cooling the other, fast lamination results are achieved. Laminating presses are used for the lamination of polymers onto the surface of other materials including lumber, metal and paper. They have multiple openings and precise controls for temperature and pressure. The platens may be heated by steam, oil, or electrically. Multilayer laminating presses apply both pressure and heat to laminate and pre-preg to make multilayer boards.
