800 Tonne Powder Compaction Press
This project required a full refurbishment of a 800 Tonne Dieffenbacher Press, this press was brought back to life with a brand new hydraulic powerpack, electronics, new PLC control system and guarding complete with interlocks to the latest safety standard.
All designed and manufactured in house reducing the lead time, ensuring the least amount of disruption to the customer.
Automatic control was introduced to the press to eliminate human error. This resulted in a consistent product every time.
Before
The 800T press shown was sourced from Europe to suit a customer requirement for increased production capacity. The press was inspected on site, purchased on behalf of the customer, stripped and transported to our works in Goldthorpe for full refurbishment.
3D Model
A 3D model of the proposed modified press was created by the design department to demonstrate to the customer how the press would look after refurbishment. All mechanical components were refurbished, all hydraulic and electrical equipment was replaced.
After
