2020 - Italpresse XL-6 Wood Press

About this machine

The Italpresse XL-6 is a hydraulic heating platen press — sometimes referred to as a hot press — designed for bonding, laminating, and consolidating wood-based materials under controlled heat and pressure. Italpresse is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the production of hydraulic presses for the woodworking and panel processing industries. This example, built in 2020, is offered in used condition and is available ex-stock in Germany.

The press is built to Italpresse's XL/6 30-13 specification and is equipped with electric heating platens measuring 3,000 x 1,300 mm, giving it a generous working surface suited to large panel formats. The pressing force is delivered by six hydraulic cylinders, each with a diameter of 85 mm, generating a total pressing force of 90 tonnes. The machine operates as a single-level, single-daylight press, with a cylinder stroke and daylight opening of 350 mm, providing ample clearance for loading and unloading workpieces. All-around loading is possible, adding flexibility to how the press can be integrated into a production line.

The heating platens are manufactured from solid hard aluminium with built-in heating wires and feature a gold-anodised surface finish — plates produced by Busse. The heating capacity stands at 22 kW, with a working temperature of 90 °C and a maximum temperature of 120 °C. High-pressure insulation plates are fitted to minimise heat loss. The hydraulic power unit requires 3 kW, and the machine operates on a 400 V, 50 Hz supply. The press table is guided by a rack-and-pinion system with parallel guides at two corners, manufactured from self-lubricating material.

Control is handled via a touch screen interface — the included Touch Screen TS/400 unit — which manages machine operation and monitoring. The control system incorporates a digital timer for setting pressing time and triggering automatic opening, digital input and monitoring of pressing pressure, and a digital diagnostics and fault display. The EFC electronic flatness control accessory is also included, which supports consistent platen parallelism during the pressing cycle.

Safety provisions meet CE standards and include a two-hand operation safety circuit, a safety pull cord, and a mechanical safety support for the lower press table. The machine is available immediately from stock in Germany.
