Hydraulic Hot Press Machine

What Is A Hydraulic Hot Press?

A hydraulic hot press is a machine that contributes to the manufacture of aircraft components from titanium or stainless steel alloys. Crystal forging presses support the nuclear and medical equipment industries. We manufacture superplastic forming presses for hot forming of nickel-based alloys, specialty alloys, and superplastic forming of titanium. Hot presses are available for forging and extruding crystals. Hot Presses feature an integral furnace to apply forming pressure at up to 1800°F.

Hot Press

Hot Press

The Savage Hydraulic Hot Press Machine features a powered refractory heat shield or furnace walls that enclose the heated platens on all four sides and microprocessor temperature controls. Suitable for Diffusion Bonding applications. Shuttle beds available. Bed sizes and daylight openings are to your specifications.

The 100 ton Hot Lab Press (left) is used for forming titanium aircraft parts. Alloy sheet is heated in the press to its superplastic state then formed with controlled gas pressure into complex shapes, ducts, and structures.

Straight Side Hot Press with Pre-Stressed Housing

Hot Straight-Side Presses with Pre-Stressed Housing

These hydraulic hot press machines are equipped with a rigid, sturdy frame with pre-stressed tension members that are resistant to frame bend due to extreme temperatures. Pre-stressed housing assures consistent platen parallelism over long periods of use.

This rugged 400-ton model accommodates the customer’s tooling and features hydraulics mounted overhead in a maintenance mezzanine.
