Every HOT PRESS machine is designed and built to give years of good service to the buyer.
This range of machines applies the heat and pressure needed to process heat-activated materials used for a variety of mounting and over-laminating applications. Heat is applied through the lower of the two sheets of toughened glass that form the top “Lid”; this is then closed onto the raised sill or gasket around the outside of the bottom frame, forming an air tight chamber, from which air is then drawn out by the vacuum pump supplied with the machine. External atmospheric pressure resulting from the vacuum created causes the flexible base or diaphragm, and any items placed on it, to be pressed against the bottom sheet of glass, thus applying the pressure needed to bond materials together.
