Greenerd designs, engineers new 2,500-ton compression molding press

Greenerd Press & Machine Co. (Nashua, N.H., U.S.) has announced its latest 2,500-ton compression molding press, with 10-foot square heated platens maintaining 500ºF surfaces to ± 5º. This press is part of a seven-press order which is currently being built in Greenerd’s main facility. It also features an innovative mold transfer system which the company says significantly improves the ergonomic and safety dynamics for operators, and reduces the press idle time between cycles.

Greenerd offers hydraulic press application solutions for a range of industries, including compression/composites molding that are flexible, productive and reliable, as well as often being large and complex. For even greater manufacturing efficiency, the company is able to provide hydraulic press customers with turnkey, state-of-the-art robotic and other product handling solutions, according to Jerry Letendre, CEO of Greenerd Press & Machine Co.

Greenerd says it has a long tradition of designing, engineering and manufacturing customized hydraulic presses with product handling solutions. Its extensive line of hydraulic presses are available in a variety of styles ranging from gap frame and straight-side to die-spotting and forging presses, with unlimited size and tonnage capabilities.
