ITALPRESSE | XL SERIES HOT PRESS

Maximum pressure and parallelism for precisely glued panel production.

The Italpresse XL series hot press is a hydraulic hot press for pressing laminates or veneer onto a substrate.  The high efficiency diathermic oil recirculates though the upper and lower platens to reduce pressing time.  The industrial design of the press with its massive steel beam frame along with the massive pressing cylinders exert force to ensure the proper bonding of each panel and ensures they are perfectly flat.

Why Italpresse XL Series Hot Press?

  • Wide range of platen sizes available in widths from 1300 to 2200mm and lengths from 1300 to 5200mm.
  • Massive steel I-beam structure to withstand high pressures
  • Recirculating heating system using diathermic oil for consistent results and fast curing times
  • Hydraulic pressure system capable of 50 to 250 tons for superior bonding
  • User friendly touch screen interface for simple setting of the press functions

Akhurst has made the move to distribute all of Anderson’s machines under one brand, Anderson. Anderson is the world leading CNC router manufacturer, with over 20 thousand machines sold worldwide and 5 thousand only in the US market.

Over the past few years, pre-milling has grown in popularity. Pre-milling is the process of machining the edge of the panel prior to applying glue. It ensures optimal edge quality before the application of edge banding, resulting in reduced glue joints and a highly aesthetic edge.

The WTD is back with extended dates, now giving visitors five days to visit our members’ extensive showrooms and see the latest new technology, including some North American premieres. No other show or single event offers you such a wide display of woodworking equipment, combined with impressive live demonstrations at each location.
