Hello,
Ive been to these forums a million times but never posted.
Ive noticed that most hydraulic presses are either 40-50 ton. Would a 20 ton press be sufficient. The reason is, I noticed quite a few companies (big and small) press thier decks 3-5 at a time.
Is the more decks you press the higher the psi has to be?
What if you plan on only pressing one deck at a time?
Also, is there any benefit of pressing just ONE deck at a time?
I understand the process would take a long time if I plan to press one at a time, but if it results in a better deck...
Thanks for any info you thorw at me. |

The more you press at a time, the more variances you will have in the decks.
One at a time will insure consistency.
I'm using a 20-ton press and it seems to work fine. My only problem was the strength of the press frame, but I've got that taken care of now. |
