Veneer and Laminating Presses

Ney have been suppliers of presses and replacement platens for over 25 years. We have a wealth of specialist knowledge in terms of specifying the correct machine for particular situations. In addition we can offer practical advice on application and production techniques as well as suitable adhesives.

Depending on the production we can offer single daylight, multi-daylight or through-feed options with either electric or oil heated platens.

Single daylight presses

Steton have many years experience in the manufacture of all types of hydraulic presses and offer a complete range to suit all applications.

Daylight presses can be specified without heating or with platens heated by either electric resistors or diathermic oil. The construction of the platen will also vary depending on the pressure required.

A range of standard presses are available which are generally sized to suit board manufacturers sheet dimensions. However the option to have a machine built for a specific requirement is available.

The specific pressure required and number of hydraulic cylinders is not only related to the dimensions of the press but also the material to be pressed. It is also normal to have the option to exclude 2 cylinders to allow the processing of smaller panels without the need to use spacers to protect the platens.

Multi-daylight presses

Built on exactly the same principles as single daylight machines multi daylight presses offer increased capacity due to the ability to press multiple panels and still achieve short cycle times.

Normally when more than one intermediate platen is added the total daylight (the maximum opening of the press) is increased to allow room for the platens without limiting the space between each platen.

It is possible within obvious limits to add one or two additional platens to an existing press as production requirements increase therefore eliminating the need to change or add a machine.

Through-feed presses

For higher volumes of production a through feed press will maximise output. Normally this type of press is integrated into complete lines with automated feeding and stacking.

We are able to offer both longitudinally and laterally fed presses to suit production layouts. Customers can find that a laterally or cross feed press can be accommodated into a factory layout more easily as the overall line length is shorter.

With a through feed line the platens are usually solid drilled and oil heated as the heat recovery time is shorter and a more stable temperature can be achieved even with high through-put.
