How a Hot Plate Hydraulic Press Works 

A hot plate hydraulic press operates by heating the platens, typically with electric, steam or oil heating systems, to precise, programmable temperatures. The heated platens apply controlled pressure to the workpiece, activating bonding agents or curing resins as required by the process. 

At Williams, White & Company, our presses feature: 

  • Precision-engineered heated platens.
  • Customizable temperatures and pressure ranges.
  • Integrated cooling systems.
  • Advanced hydraulic controls.
  • Durable construction.

Our team of professionals ensures that each of these systems is tailored to your specific production needs.
