After over 170 years in the industry, Williams, White & Company has gained extensive expertise in thermoplastic and thermoset compression molding, encompassing a wide range of applications, from automobile components to bathtubs. If you have a molding requirement, we have the experience to design, engineer and build a custom solution to meet your needs.
A molding press uses controlled heat and hydraulic pressure to shape materials into a matched metal mold. The heat also serves to cure the material. We offer bulk molding compound (BMC), thermoset, thermoplastic, and sheet molding compound (SMC) presses for various materials commonly used in these processes.
Williams, White & Company offers various features to enhance the molding process. For example, in-mold coating or interfacing enables you to apply a coating during the molding process, consolidating steps. Other features include recipe storage to save complete parameter sets based on part number and vacuum systems that evacuate the mold cavity before closing.
Hydraulic molding presses offer high force with fine process control. You can precisely adjust heat, pressure and speed to create quality, smooth surfaces and clean details. These machines also support repeatability, with a consistent force applied each time, ensuring that every part turns out the same. Hydraulic molding presses can handle large molds and heavy materials, enabling them to serve a wide range of applications. They also feature heavy-duty frames, promoting a long service life.
We design, engineer and build various types of molding presses, including column, housing, one-piece and side plate models. These press systems serve various molding tasks, including:
