This Beck 12000 X 500 X 70 is a used wood press — sometimes referred to as a panel press or gluing press — designed for bonding and gluing timber elements. Wood presses of this type are a core tool in joinery, furniture manufacturing, and structural timber production, applying controlled clamping force across large workpieces to ensure consistent, reliable glue joints.
This particular press is configured to handle workpieces up to approximately 4,200 mm in length, 500 mm in width, and 70 mm in depth. Each individual unit is equipped with 15 membrane press cylinders, each delivering a press stroke of 70 mm and a press force of 6,800 N per cylinder. In addition, 16 hold-down clamps are fitted per press to secure material during the pressing cycle. The loading dimensions per press are approximately 4.5 m in length, 1.1 m in width, and 0.5 m in height, with an own weight of around 600 kg per unit.
A notable design feature is that the presses are open on both the right and left sides, allowing multiple units to be lined up in sequence. This means that for processing longer workpieces — around 12 metres, for example — three presses can be arranged in a row to extend the effective pressing length accordingly. Three units are offered together in this listing, making the combination immediately suitable for production-scale gluing operations.
The machine is located in Germany and is available in used condition.
