This Italpresse MARK/C 20-32.5 is a used wood press — sometimes referred to as a panel press or laminating press — configured as a complete through-feed production line designed for laminating veneer onto chipboard, MDF, and plywood panels. Italpresse is a well-established Italian manufacturer specialising in industrial pressing and laminating equipment for the wood-based panel industry, supplying production lines to furniture manufacturers and panel processors worldwide. This line was built in 2003 and is currently located in Germany.
The line is made up of several integrated stations working in sequence. At the infeed end, a vacuum loading unit draws thin panels from a scissor lift and feeds them into the brushing machine. This unit operates at a passage width of 2,000 mm, a translation speed adjustable between 7 and 35 m/min, and a cycle rate of 3 to 5 cycles per minute depending on panel size. Six suction cups handle the panel transfer.
The brushing machine prepares panel surfaces ahead of gluing, with a working width of 2,000 mm and a maximum opening height of 100 mm. It is equipped with two motorised brushing rollers of 180 mm diameter and two forwarding rollers of 125 mm diameter. Glue application is handled by an Osama-brand spreader fitted with two spreading rollers, two dosing rollers, and four motors.
An index table with belt dimensions of 2,000 × 4,000 mm then positions the panels for pressing. It incorporates photocells and a stop bar for precise automatic alignment of the veneer composition before it enters the press.
The heart of the line is the automatic press itself. Its platens measure 2,000 × 3,250 mm with a daylight opening of 140 mm. The press delivers a thrust of 390 tonnes, achieving a specific pressure of 7.5 kg/cm² across 80% of the platen surface. Pressing force is generated by nine pressure pistons of 150 mm diameter, with four additional movement pistons and a stroke of 140 mm. The heating system uses diathermic oil circulation; the heating boiler itself is not included as standard but is available as an optional addition — either an electric boiler rated at 900 kW or a Riello oil burner rated at 860 kW with a two-step flame. Additional press features include an upper platen belt shaker, planarity control, and a down-stroking brake.
At the outfeed, an unloading device measuring 2,000 × 4,000 mm removes finished panels at a translation speed of 20 to 40 m/min, synchronised with the pressing belt to ensure continuous throughput. The entire line is controlled via a panel housing electrical and programmable logic controls, and is rated for 400 V / 50 Hz, three-phase supply.
