Custom Two-Layer Hydraulic Hot Press for Carbon Fiber Sheet Forming
Two-Layer
Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheet Hot Press Machine
This two-layer hydraulic hot press is designed for manufacturing carbon fiber sheets from prepreg materials. Its two working layers support simultaneous sheet forming, while controlled heating, stable hydraulic pressure, and adjustable holding time help improve sheet flatness, thickness consistency, and production efficiency.
Product Introduction
The Two-Layer Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheet Hot Press Machine is designed for manufacturers that need to improve output while maintaining consistent sheet quality. Its two independent working layers allow multiple carbon fiber prepreg layups to be formed during the same production cycle, helping increase production efficiency without requiring two separate presses.
The four-column structure provides stable guidance and even pressure distribution during closing, heating, pressing, and holding. Three heated platens create two forming spaces, while adjustable temperature, pressure, and holding time allow the machine to accommodate different prepreg systems, sheet thicknesses, layup structures, and production requirements.
Carbon fiber prepreg layers are stacked between separate stainless-steel plates before being loaded into the press. The machine can be customized according to the required pressing force, platen dimensions, opening height, cylinder stroke, heating temperature, control system, voltage, and workshop layout. It can also be paired with a hydraulic roller lift table to simplify loading and unloading at both working levels.
