Application of Short Cycle Press Machine
Qiangtong short cycle press machine is for hot laminating impregnated melamine/phenolic paper on wood-based panels such as MDF, HDF, Particleboard, Chipboard, and Plywood. The laminated boards are widely used for making furniture and flooring for homes and offices.
Qiangtong Short Cycle Press Machine
YX1600 is the most popular model for 4×8 feet board lamination, especially for particleboard. It can make glossy, matt, suede, light woodgrain, etc.
YX1800 is higher pressure than YX1600, it can not only make what YX1600 can make, it can also make the deeper texture.
YX2800 is the most popular model for HDF laminate flooring lamination. It can make most kinds of embossed designs and EIR.
The automatic short cycle press machine has an automatic raw board carrier and auto stacking carrier based on the semi-automatic model.
The model B of the automatic short cycle press has other units such as a raw board cleaning unit, raw board carrier, trimming, auto stacking, etc.
Model C is the most complete automatic line which includes all the needed functional units. Besides, we can provide customized automatic lines.
Highlights Qiangtong Short Cycle Press Machine
Short Cycle Press Machine Model D1 Working Video
Qiangtong short cycle press machine has a high output which shortest mechanical cycle time is 9.5 seconds by Model D1. If the holding pressure time is set up to 20 seconds which means will have 120 boards/hour.
Short Cycle Press Machine Model D2 Working Video
Qiangtong short cycle press machine model D2 is based on model D1, which has the vacuum pad unloader to take the board out from the press machine automatically. It will make the machine’s mechanical cycle time longer but can protect the bottom stainless steel plate and worker’s safety.
Quick View of Qiangtong Workshop
Wuxi Qiangtong Machinery Co., Ltd. was established in 2003 and is located in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. We have been committed to researching the production technology of short cycle press machine, so that Qangtong’s press machines have always been popular in the market and recognized by customers. In every process of production, we carry out strict quality control to ensure that there is no problem with the products that are finally delivered to customers.

Fully Automatic Short Cycle Press Machine
Model A is an automatic short cycle press machine model which has an automatic raw board vacuum pad carrier before the belt conveyor loader, and after the press machine, besides the vacuum pad unloader, it has an automatic trimming machine and the vacuum pad big carrier for stacking boards. This model is the basic model for an automatic short cycle press machine.
Model C is the complete automatic configuration which is consist of a ground roller conveyor, roller hydraulic lifter, pusher to separate the boards, brusher to clean the raw board double sides, vacuum pad big carrier for loading raw board, then belt loader and press machine unit, after that, vacuum pad unloader, automatic trimmer, stand chain cooler, turnover machine and vacuum pad stacking carrier.
Other Commodities Related To Short Cycle Press Machine
The cushion pad is made of silicone gel and copper wire. It has different densities, which will matter about the heating transfer and use life. Normally, every half year needs to change the cushion pad to make sure the lamination quality.
The stainless steel template is made of 304 or 633 stainless steel plates. Then make the surface design by erosion method, and after that sharp details then make surface chrome. The chrome is a matter of the hardness of the template surface and also is deciding the surface quality.
The short cycle press machine works at high temperatures and pressure. The temperature comes from the thermal oil which flows inside the hot platens. So the hot oil needs to be controlled through temperature valves. You can use the simple three-way valves or the second recycling system for better quality.
The gas heater or boiler is required to supply the hot oil to the short cycle press machine. If your fuel is natural gas, then can buy the compressed gas heater which can be put beside the press machine, and no need extra boiler room.

Containers Loading
The short cycle press machine delivery requires a special container to load the main press machine frame due to the over height. Usually, it is an open-top container, but when the frame is too heavy, then will require the flat rack container.
The pressure is dependent on the surface texture lamination depth. The deeper texture requires higher pressure. We will send you the guidance file to select the suitable pressure level.
We do not recommend customers apply multiple sizes with one short cycle press machine. Because different sizes will leave an imprint on the press machine. Problems arise when the small size leaves an offset print and the large size is pressed.
The general oil tank capacity of the press is 1 liter (kg), if it is 170kg of oil, you need to buy 6 barrels of oil. Different regions use different hydraulic oils according to different temperatures.
The water cooling method requires external cooling water, which is also at room temperature, not particularly cooled water. But why not connect it directly to the tap, but buy a cooling water tower? for saving water. This water needs to be continuously circulated. If tap water is connected, where does one end come in, and where does the other end come out? How to recycle the water that goes out? So it is still necessary to cool the water tower. This purpose is not only to pump water up and down for cooling in summer but also to store water + circulation. The water tower capacity is 10 tons.
There are two kinds of plate thickness limitations, one is the limitation of automatic equipment, and the other is the limitation of pressing and sticking to the blasting plate.
The first is automation equipment limitations. When the board is too thin, the board will bend, which will easily cause the automation equipment to not work well. Generally limited to more than 8mm thickness.
The second is the limitation of water vapor explosion. There is water in the board, which is released from the side of the board when the double veneer is pressed. Generally, the 4×8-feet board requires more than 6mm, and the 7×9-feet board requires more than 10mm. You can also try 5mm/8mm, depending on the actual moisture content of the board.
Therefore, the thin plate needs to be pressed side by side. When one side is pasted, the feeding trolley can be used, and the output trolley is limited by 5mm.
The single-sided sticking press itself has no restrictions, and it can even make stickers on the surface of the veneer, just put a backing plate in the press.
