The Hess Export Wood Press is a used wood press — sometimes referred to as a corpus press or cabinet press — designed for clamping and pressing wooden workpieces during assembly, making it an essential tool in furniture manufacturing, cabinetmaking, and joinery production. Hess is a recognised German manufacturer of clamping and pressing equipment for the woodworking industry, known for producing robust pneumatic and hydraulic pressing systems used in professional workshop and industrial settings.
This machine is a pneumatically operated unit capable of accepting workpieces up to 2,500 x 1,500 mm. It is equipped with four pressure assemblies in total: two vertical and two horizontal, each assembly consisting of two pressure cylinders with an 80 mm cylinder diameter and a 110 mm stroke. Every pressure unit delivers a pressing force of 1,400 kp at a working pressure of 15 bar, giving the press substantial and evenly distributed clamping capacity across both axes simultaneously.
The vertical and horizontal assemblies each follow the same 2 + 2 cylinder configuration. The upper horizontal pressure assembly features weight compensation for straightforward height adjustment. Pressing operation is managed via two rotary slide valves, each offering three positions — Press, Stop, and Release — giving the operator direct and responsive control over the clamping cycle.
The machine includes an integrated maintenance unit comprising a pressure regulator adjustable from 0 to 15 bar, a pressure gauge, and an oil mist lubricator to keep the pneumatic system properly conditioned during use. Additional practical features include anodized measuring scales for repeatable setup and detachable feet for positioning flexibility.
The overall machine dimensions are 3,900 x 2,500 x 600 mm and the unit weighs 1,060 kg. Located in Germany and available from an ex-works customer site, this press is described as immediately available.
