Vertical Feed Short Cycle Press Line
Qiangtong short cycle press line mainly has two types: The length feeding type also called horizontal type, and the width feeding type also called vertical type. The biggest advantage of vertical feeding short cycle press line is that it can achieve the camera’s vision in a double-sided automatic EIR Synchronous system. The vertical short cycle press is more suitable for laminating heavy pressure and big-size boards.
- For high-pressure lamination max. 100 kg/cm2
- Adapt for 4’x8′, 4’x9′, 5’x10′, 6’x12′, 7’x9′, 7’x14′
- Double-face Automatic EIR Synchronous System
- Fully automatic production 24 hours non-stop
Working video for vertical short cycle press line
Qiangtong’s innovative fully automatic vertical short cycle press line is more suitable for high-pressure laminating large-size MDF/HDF and particleboard. The short cycle press line adopts a double-sided automatic synchronous camera system to achieve EIR lamination on both sides of the board.
Working Principle For Vertical Short Cycle Press
The cylinder balance system of Qiangtong vertical short cycle press line ensures consistent and uniform pressure across the lamination on boards. Moreover, the high-end energy storage system allows for rapid hydraulic pressure increases, significantly reducing pressure-free intervals, shortening production cycle times, and increasing overall production output. The pressure adjustment mechanism and the temperature control system guarantee optimal lamination quality for various board types.
Automatic Vertical Short Cycle Press Line Layout
The vertical fully automatic short cycle press line consists of three main parts: automatic loading unit, pressing unit, and automatic unloading unit. The loading unit mainly consists of a board separator, double-sided dust cleaner, vaccum manipulator board loader, automatic paper laying, etc. The unloading unit mainly consists of edge trimming, cooling, quality inspection, and stacking. It realizes fully automatic intelligent continuous production, effectively eliminates the error rate of manual operation and reduces labor cost.

(1) Can the press line combine for various sizes lamination?
Yes, the combine plan depends on what sizes, because it must match the pressure cylinders layout groups. We use the individual cylinders control system to make the multi sizes lamination available.
(2) What is the benefit for the camera EIR synchronous system?
The camera automatic EIR system can make the design on the plate and design on the paper matching faster than manual way. It can produce 500~600 boards per shift while manual way only produce around 200 board per shift.
Typical Advantages of Qiangtong Vertical Feed Short Cycle Press Line
You might be wondering under what conditions or for what purposes a vertical feeding short cycle press line is the better choice. To clarify, we’ll explain three distinct advantages of the vertical feeding design compared to the horizontal feeding design in a short cycle press line.
High output for EIR lamination
Qiangtong vertical short cycle press line is engineered for high-efficiency production, featuring double-sided automatic synchronous pressing. Equipped with a camera vision synchronization system, along with a lift platform and clamp-style feeding mechanism, it ensures precise EIR (Embossed in Register) synchronous matching for melamine surface boards. This advanced system can achieve an output of 50~60 boards per hour, more than doubling the productivity compared to manual synchronous pressing, which only produces 20~30 boards per hour.
Ideal for Large-Size Boards lamination
When it comes to pressing large-size boards, the vertical feed short cycle press line offers significant advantages. Unlike traditional horizontal presses, where the distribution of hydraulic cylinders can lead to uneven pressure, the vertical press provides a more uniform pressure distribution. This results in higher quality and more consistent pressing outcomes.
Optimal for High-Pressure lamination
The vertical short cycle press line excels in high-pressure applications. Traditional horizontal presses can cause thickness inconsistencies at the edges of the board under high pressure, leading to lower precision in the flooring tongue-and-groove joints and higher defect rates. To avoid this, the board edges often need to be trimmed, wasting valuable material. With the vertical press, these issues are eliminated, effectively reducing production costs and increasing yield.
Whether you are producing flooring, large-size boards, or focusing on EIR synchronous matching designs, our vertical feed short cycle press line is the optimal choice for enhancing production efficiency and product quality.
Usually, we recommend to equip the automatic lines to match with the vertical feed short cycle press machine, because the vertical feed boards are fed from the long side, which is not very convenient for manual operation. Small sizes can be operated manually, but large sizes cannot be operated manually. If you consider the fully automatic line is too costly, you can choose the basic model. Our automatic lines have many configurations, which can be reasonably configured according to the customer’s site and budget.
The time required to change the stainless steel press plate in a vertical feed short cycle press line is nearly the same as in a horizontal feed short cycle press line. Typically, a loader and unloader are used in tandem to facilitate an easier and more efficient plate change. It takes around 30 mins to change the plates.
Usually, it will take around 3 or 4 months to finish the production.
For installation, we will send engineers to your factory to finish the work and teach your workers to run the line till they handle it well.
The type of model you purchase will determine the type of container needed for shipping. The press machine’s main body typically requires an open-top container or even a flat rack to load them. Normally 2 to 4 OT or FR containers are needed to accommodate the frames. As for the automatic line, the number of containers required depends on the specific configurations, typically ranging from 4 to 6 containers of 40’HQ.
For an automatic short cycle press line, small board sizes such as 4’x8′ or 4’x9′ require a working area of at least 500 square meters, while larger board sizes like 6’x8′ or 7’x9′ need a working area of 1,000 square meters.
The storage area for raw and finished boards depends on the amount of buffer stock you plan to keep. Typically, you should allocate space for at least one month’s worth of boards. For small boards, this means you’ll need 500 square meters for raw boards and an additional 500 square meters for laminated boards, totaling 1,000 square meters for storage. This calculation assumes that pallets are stacked to a height of 4 meters, which accommodates about four pallets. The same logic applies to large boards, but you’ll need to double the space, requiring 2,000 square meters for storage.
In conclusion, for small-size board production total area requires 1500 square meters, and for big-size board production total area requires 3000 square meters.
