Wabash MPI/Carver Inc.(Wabash, Ind., U.S.) showcases the Genesis Series of hydraulic presses. These hydraulic presses are specifically engineered for compression molding of rubber, plastics and composites. They are also said to excel in laminating, bonding and pressure applications requiring precise ram control. Built for durability, the Genesis Series is designed to withstand 24-hour production floor use while maintaining the precision required for laboratory applications.

Genesis Series presses are available in models ranging from 15 to 150 t, with options for single or multiple openings. The advanced hydraulic system ensures rapid closing and opening speeds, which makes these presses optimal for working with modern molding compounds. Optional heated platens are offered with operating temperatures of 500°F, 800°F and 1200°F, catering to various specialized applications.

Wabash MPI/Carver Inc. also highlights its transfer presses, designed to provide precise molding for electrical components, medical products and other specialized applications. The companies offer a range of standard hydraulic and pneumatic presses with capacities from 0.5 to 1,000 t and platen sizes from 6″ × 6″ to 6' × 12'. The hydraulic system is said to produce faster closing and opening speeds, which can make it ideal for use with many advanced molding compounds. Additionally, Wabash MPI/Carver Inc. can custom-engineer press systems for specific applications, providing options such as heated and cooled platen packages in various configurations, eject systems, data acquisition, recipe storage and bladder and core pull circuits.
