SMC Moulding Press
SMC Moulding Press — Performance Specifications, Press Tonnage & Tooling Layout
The SMC Moulding Press (Build HSE-730) from HEMSUN is built for continuous industrial forming of SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels. Engineered with precision platen parallelism, variable pump hydraulics, recipe memory touchscreen controls, and full on-site commissioning support.
Applications
- Serial compaction and forming of SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels for industrial processors (Workstation Ref: APP-1630).
- Integrated die-set tooling for SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels with automated powder cavity charging and synchronized bottom ejection.
- Programmable density management on thermoset-friction compounds with controlled pressure dwell cycles from 15s to 2min.
- Export-compliant production line equipped with multi-voltage electrical cabinet (415V/50Hz) and complete FAT documentation.
SMC Moulding Press — process notes
The SMC Moulding Press (configured under build tag HSE-530) is engineered at our Dahegam manufacturing facility for precision forming of SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels within a Platen working area 467 × 467 mm with dual electric heating work envelope. Operating at a calibrated pressing force of 622 Ton, the hydraulic manifold incorporates a variable-displacement piston pump paired with proportional pressure modulation to govern rapid downward approach (up to 120 mm/s), smooth final compaction (5–12 mm/s), and a controlled pressure hold of 138 seconds under full tonnage. Stepped hydraulic decompression avoids sudden fluid shock, preventing internal cleavage lines from developing within fragile green compacts before lower-cylinder soft ejection occurs.
SMC Moulding Press — material behaviour
Tailored for high compressibility demands of thermoset compounds (SMC/BMC/bakelite) & friction mix powders, the machine provides deep cavity clearance and smooth ram descent. Uniform pressure distribution minimizes internal stress concentrations, preventing micro-cracking during processing.
SMC Moulding Press — tooling design
Our bolster design provides generous working room for multi-cavity SMC/BMC compression-moulded composite panels tooling. Hardened die plates and chrome-plated guide posts ensure long operational life and prevent premature cavity wear under continuous high-tonnage cycling.
SMC Moulding Press — sizing and selection
Choosing the 622 Ton SMC Moulding Press requires assessing component dimensions, wall thickness, and shift quotas. Our technical department prepares customized proposals covering machine, dies, and FAT testing.
SMC Moulding Press — quality checks
Quality assurance protocols include full-pressure holding tests, ultrasonic cylinder weld inspection, platen parallelism checks across 5 bolster points, and trial sample pressing witnessed at our Dahegam works prior to dispatch.
SMC Moulding Press — installation and commissioning
Documentation provided includes foundation anchoring plans, electrical circuit schematics, and hydraulic piping layouts. HEMSUN service personnel travel worldwide for machine positioning, hydraulic oil charging, and staff training.
SMC Moulding Press — export and lead time
Prepared for global destinations, the unit includes tailored electrical configurations (415V/50Hz), protective ocean crating, and complete commercial export documentation.
SMC Moulding Press — maintenance and spares
Recommended servicing includes 1,000-hour hydraulic fluid checks, routine column bushing greasing, and periodic valve inspections. Complete spare seal packages are cataloged by machine serial number.
SMC Moulding Press — safety notes
Safety systems feature dual-channel optical curtains, anti-tie-down two-hand pushbuttons, hydraulic overpressure relief protection, and mechanical ram lock bars for secure tooling changes and routine maintenance.
