Standard PNP pneumatic presses are available in 0.5-, 2- and 5-ton models, and standard platen sizes from 8" × 8" to 18" × 18". New optional features to this line include down-acting clamp configuration, vacuum chamber construction for vacuum-assist applications and UKCA certification to meet U.K. requirements.

Each of these customizable presses is manufactured in Wabash, Ind., U.S. and features table-top or floor-standing, four-post construction. The PNP series also boasts a maximum operating temperature of 500ºF and many available platen sizes.
Other standard features include low-friction seals and bearings, an infinite-life framework, NFPA pneumatic cylinders, 90 PSIG design pressure and 5 µm particulate air filters. Additional optional features include proportional pressure and temperature control, CE-certified models, customization for cleanroom compatibility, 800ºF platens for high-temperature applications, manual or automatic platen cooling and heat tube platens for optimized uniformity.
