Short Cycle Press Line
The Short Cycle Press Line is one kind of hot hydraulic press machine with automatic loading and unloading system. It is used for direct hot laminating paper on wood-based boards such as MDF, HDF, Particleboard, Chipboard, and Plywood.
The texture on the surface of the plate is determined by the texture on the surface of the stainless steel template. The melamine-faced board is widely used for making furniture and flooring for homes and offices.

ZD-A is the basic starting model for automatic short cycle press line, besides press units, it has additional auto board loader and auto trimmer and auto stacker.
ZD-B has the extra clean unit for raw boards based on ZD-A model, it is the most popular model for fully automatic short cycle press line. The clean unit is consist of pusher and brusher.
ZD-C is the complete fully automatic short cycle press line which adds the stand chain cooler based on Model ZD-B, the chain cooler is for cooling down the boards.
The U shape layout is suitable for the narrow workshop space. The turning overlay line saves space compared with a straight overlay line. ZD-U1 has the stand chain cooler but no clean unit.
ZD-U2 is actually the U shape overlay of model ZD-C, they have the same functional units but only different overlay designs. Customers can choose different models by workshop shape.
The model ZD-V short cycle press line is U shape overlay but the press machine feeding direction is not horizontal but vertical. The feeding system is usually by the clamp and unloading by the arm swing sucker.

The automatic short cycle press line model ZD-C is based on ZD-C added the stand chain cooler. The chain cooler is for cooling down the laminated boards naturally by air. If the environment air is hot, you may need to install extra fans nearby the press line to cool down the surrounding air. For high-quality purposes, to make sure the boards are stocked without high temperature, you may need to chain the cooler to cool down the laminated boards before stacking. The remaining heat between boards will cause the board to bend. It will affect the furniture quality in the end.

The laminated board surface texture is from the stainless steel template which is installed inside short cycle press line hot platen. Every stainless steel plate can work only for one design. So usually people will order more designs when purchasing short cycle press line.
Compare to the simple three-way temperature valves, this second recycling system has the advantage of keeping hot oil always flowing. So it can keep the hot platen inside channels clean and it will make sure the heating of the hot platen will be always uniform. That matters to the surface quality of lamiantes.
The heater or boiler is required to work together with the short cycle press line. Because it will supply the hot oil to the press machine. If your factory already has a boiler, then just need to connect one pipe to press machine. If not have, then need to buy one boiler to work together with the short cycle press line.
