This Joos HP90 is a wood press — also known as a panel press or hot press — a type of industrial press used to bond, laminate, or compress wood-based panels and composite materials under controlled heat and pressure. Joos is a well-regarded German manufacturer with a long history of building hydraulic and heated presses for the woodworking and panel-processing industries.
The press offers a platen area of 2,500 mm × 1,250 mm, making it well suited to full-size sheet materials. The daylight opening of 360 mm provides generous clearance between the platens for accommodating workpieces or multiple-layer assemblies. Pressing force is rated at 90 tonnes, distributed through four hydraulic cylinders, which promotes even pressure distribution across the full platen surface. The platens themselves carry an anodised aluminium surface finish, which offers good heat transfer characteristics and resistance to wear and adhesive contamination.
Heating is electric, fitted to the upper platen. The lower platen heating is noted as defective and would require repair or replacement before the machine can be operated with bilateral heat. Electrical consumption is approximately 33 amperes. The machine dates from 1976 and is offered in used condition.
This press is located at the seller's premises in Herrnzell, Germany.
