Hydraulic Leather Ironing & Embossing Press

Johnston Automation Co offers a Hydraulic Leather Ironing and Embossing Press. The basic structure is made of electrically welded heavy steel plates, carefully designed to give a clear working area with minimum space requirement. The pressure is achieved by a single large diameter piston that gives uniform distribution of the working pressure on the table. Different sizes of working tables are available. The electrical control panel is located within easy reach of the operator, enabling him to change, stop, re-start the cycle of operation according to the need with all instruments and controls neatly mounted. The press can be operated manually with push button control or semi-automatic cycle (the operator starts the pressure work by lowering the protection guards and the operation starts automatically, following pre-set regulation of pressure, time and temperature). The press has a very high speed but the action itself is very gentle, due to the sophisticated control devices operating on the hydraulic circuit. It is possible to reach up to 15 strokes per minute even when the daylight is designed to be 120 mm to facilitate the introduction of leathers. The pressure is adjusted by pressure relief valve provided on the power pack unit. The heating zone is divided in three sectors, each independent from the other and controlled by a thermostat and a temperature controller with digital display of actual temperature in the three different sectors. Wooden platforms on both sides are provided with emergency stops (on all corners) as a protection device so as to reverse the operation in case of emergency. A hydro-electric pressure switch is provided as a safety device in the hydraulic circuit which stops the motor in the event of overshooting oil pressure. Heat exchanger unit is provided to maintain oil temperature in the system. The press is provided with electrical heating system with cartridge type heaters. The machine is supplied complete with all the necessary accessories like chromed smooth plate, felt and rubber sheets.
