This CMB PFR-CCL is a wood press — sometimes referred to as a cold press or panel press — designed for bonding, laminating, and veneering large-format wood panels under high, evenly distributed hydraulic pressure. CMB is an Italian manufacturer specialising in hydraulic pressing equipment for the woodworking and furniture industry, and this machine is representative of their cold-press range built for industrial panel production.
Built in 2017 and currently located in Germany, this used machine is configured for pressing and laminating panels up to 5,500 x 1,600 mm, making it well suited to large-scale panel and veneer applications. The press delivers a maximum pressing force of 160 tons, achieved through 12 pressure cylinders of 80 mm diameter. Six auxiliary cylinders of 50/30 mm diameter assist with panel handling and clamping. On a fully loaded surface this equates to a specific pressure of 1.82 kg/cm², rising to 2.27 kg/cm² when calculated across 80% of the press surface. The opening stroke runs from top to bottom with a maximum opening of 450 mm, and the loading side measures 1,700 mm. The press platens are panels made of sheet steel mounted on a welded steel beam structure, with levelling devices that allow the working height to be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
The machine is equipped with a motorised loading table measuring 3,500 x 1,600 mm and a separate unloading table of 2,000 x 1,600 mm. Both are shorter than the full 5,500 mm press table because of the inline installation arrangement. Loading and unloading of panels on the lower platen is fully automatic on the 3,500 mm side. Panel transport is handled by a motorised MYLAR belt driven by two rollers positioned at the entrance and exit of the press; these rollers are motor-driven via a chain system running on special guides. The belt travels around the lower plate, resting on lateral supports, and its ends are fixed to tensioning rods to maintain correct belt tension. Steel rollers and a foot switch are also included as part of the loading system.
The hydraulic system comprises a dedicated unit with pump, oil tank, and valves controlling both the pressure and auxiliary cylinders. A hydraulic control unit is mounted in the upper part of the press for ease of maintenance access. Machine operation is managed from a control panel fitted with buttons, selector switches, and a pressure control gauge. The machine runs on a 400 V / 50 Hz / three-phase power supply with earth, in line with standard European industrial supply requirements.
