Temperature: 350 degree C (Maximum continuous use temperature). The heating system will be designed accordingly which is controllable through PLC. Temperature accuracy plus and minus 1drgee C. The heaters will be chosen for achieving a heating rate of 1 degree C (min.) to 50C (max) per min.Heaters and insulation: Each platen will be provided with a heating arrangement to achieve the temperature requirement described above. The platens will be adequately insulated so that heat is not passed on to the hydraulic system.Hydraulics: Double-acting cylinder with dual pressure/ volume system. An integral hydraulic reservoir with a suction strainer and oil lever indicator, Integral hydraulic reservoir will be easily accessible for cleanout operationPlatens: Precision-ground steel platens of size 400 mm x 400mm, electrically heated. The platens will be perfectly parallel to each other (When they are in a closed position, the light will not pass through).Electrical: The hydraulic press and the heaters will be operated through a PLC, 3-phase (415 V) power supply. Total power consumption: 15 kWGauges and Valves: Suitable hydraulic pressure gauge with a pressure control valve will be provided.Range of pressure gauge: 240barLest count: 1 barControl Console: PLC-based Control Console will be provided with the system. This control console will be suitable for carrying out the following operations:i) Will control the hydraulics for the upstroke and downstroke.ii) Will control the closing/pressing/opening speed as per the specificationiii) Heating of each platen will be controlled independently through PLC to achieve the accuracy of plus and minus1dgree C between the set temperature and temperature achieved.iv) Overheating protection will be provided through PLC for each platen.v) Emergency/Stop knob will be provided in the Control Panel.vi) Indicator lights for heaters will be provided in the control panel. An emergency indicator lamp and alarm will be provided, which are to be mounted on the top of a hydraulic press.Press Construction: The construction of the machine will be four pillar type, which is most suitable for maintaining the parallelism of the platens and can be adjustable to any future development to press. It is better than the welded structure of the press which cannot be modified. The construction will be such that there will be no deflection of the frame while applying load. Internal rods with bronze bushes will be provided for guiding the platens.
