What is Membrane Presses？

Jul,12,2022 << Return list

Vacuum membrane presses differ from portable bag press systems by using a high stretch rubber membrane attached to a metal frame to apply the pressure as opposed to a polyurethane or vinyl bag. The membrane frame is supported by gas springs enabling free access to the platen eliminating the risk of damaging veneers when loading up a bag. In addition, since the rubber membrane is attached to the rigid frame, it cannot get trapped under the laminates on a curved former as can happen with a vacuum bag. This allows for one-man operation and guarantees fault free laminating. We offer a range of membrane presses from the compact BenchTop Press, ideal for schools or musical instrument makers, the affordable Self-Assembly BenchPress for those customers requiring a large high quality membrane press at a budget price and the top of the range new BenchPress, probably the most advanced vacuum press of its kind on the market today.

New BenchPress

The new BenchPress vacuum membrane press has been completely redesigned with many new and unique features to make this the most technically advanced vacuum press on the market.

The bar was set high when developing this press to address some of the problems associated with other cheaper vacuum membrane presses: We wanted to ensure that the platen remains dimensionally true for flat panel veneering, that a high vacuum is achieved quickly when laminating curved panels to prevent pre-curing, that there is no risk of trapped air and that the gasket is completely leak free. In addition, we wanted to make it quick and easy to replace the rubber membrane when necessary without the need for hundreds of screws and to be able to operate the vacuum press without having to rely on cumbersome toggle clamps. To finish off we wanted to give the press an attractive new look, setting the frame on castors to give it some mobility.

The BenchPress vacuum membrane press can be ordered in 3 sizes, click on the thumbnail photo to see the key features and benefits of this high quality, well designed and advanced vacuum pressing system.

If you are looking for a vacuum membrane press that will veneer and laminate all of your flat and curved components, then this is probably the best vacuum pressing machine of the market.
