Compression Molding Press
SZCIII Compression Molding Press is heavy‑duty hydraulic forming equipment dedicated for composite material compression molding. Available in vertical, four‑column, hot‑press, cold‑press and hot‑&‑cold integrated configurations.
It delivers stable high clamping force, precise platen temperature control and fully‑automated workflow for SMC, BMC, carbon‑fiber prepreg and various thermoset composite materials.
With customizable tonnage, platen dimension, stroke and heating‑cooling modules, this press meets lab pilot, small‑batch and large‑volume mass‑production demands for composite component manufacturing.
Hydraulic Molding Press
Role of Molding Press Introduction in Carbon Fiber Production
SZCIII compression molding press transfers controlled heat and high hydraulic pressure onto composite raw materials inside molds to complete curing and shaping in one cycle.
Our product portfolio covers cold compression presses, single hot presses, and hot‑cold auto hydraulic presses. The whole machine frame adopts FEA finite‑element optimized structure for long‑term anti‑deformation performance. Equipped with PLC + touch‑screen control system, users can store multiple molding recipes, set pressure‑holding time, heating / cooling curves, and realize repeatable molding cycles.
It can be supplied as standalone equipment or integrated into full composite production lines under our EPC+M project scope.
Compression Molding Press Features
- Multiple frame options: vertical / four‑column structure for different tonnage requirements
- Customizable clamping force: 50‑2000 tons to match molding process needs
- Flexible heating modes: electric heating or thermal‑oil heating; optional water‑cooling module
- Large customizable working platen size and piston stroke
- PLC + HMI touch‑screen control, store multiple molding parameter recipes
- Precise pressure holding, pressure‑keeping time and speed adjustable
- Complete safety interlock: safety light curtain, over‑pressure & over‑temperature protection
- Support manual / semi‑auto / fully‑automatic working modes
- Can connect peripheral auxiliary devices: mold shuttle, feeding mechanism, MES data interface
Compression Molding Press Advantages
- Flexible configuration: Choose cold‑only, hot‑only, or integrated hot‑&‑cold cycling functions.
- Multiple‑recipe storage: One‑click recall of different molding parameters for multi‑variant composite production.
- Stable pressure & temperature control: Ensure consistent density and dimension accuracy of molded composite products.
- Wide customizability: Tonnage, platen size, heating‑cooling combination can be tailored for your composite parts.
- High‑rigid machine frame: FEA‑optimized steel structure, anti‑deformation under long‑term heavy‑load production.
- Good material adaptability: Works for SMC, BMC, carbon / glass / aramid prepreg and thermoset composite blanks.
- EPC‑ready: Easy integration with cutting, oven, autoclave and post‑processing equipment for complete workshops.
