This listing is for a used wood press — sometimes referred to as a timber press or lumber press — a machine used to apply controlled hydraulic pressure to wood components, most commonly for gluing, laminating, or straightening panels, beams, and block assemblies. Schweizer is the manufacturer of this machine.
The press is configured as a horizontal block press, making it suited to the production of glued timber blocks or laminated beam assemblies laid flat during the pressing cycle. The working bed measures 5,000 mm in length and 800 mm in width, providing a substantial pressing surface capable of accommodating long timber workpieces or multiple shorter components processed simultaneously. Clamping force is delivered by 12 hydraulic cylinders distributed along the length of the press, ensuring even pressure is applied across the full extent of the workpiece rather than concentrated at a single point. In addition, five hold-down units are fitted, which serve to prevent bowing, lifting, or lateral movement of the material during the pressing cycle — an important feature when working with glued assemblies that must remain correctly aligned while adhesive cures.
This machine is offered in used condition and is currently located in Germany.
