Platen Press
TMP Inc., A Division of French has over 30 years of experience in designing heated platen presses for reliable performance and process compatibility. TMP heated platen presses can be supplied as compression, transfer and vacuum molding with either electrical, hot oil or steam heating. Custom and standard platen sizes are available, along with various press pressure ranges.
Contact a TMP representative for more information on a
platen press.
Platen Press, Electrically Heated
TMP Electrically Heated Platen Presses are uniquely designed to provide uniform heat distribution and temperature control, which is ideal for molding, bonding or lamination.
Electrically Heated Platen Press Features:
- Standard heated platen press to an operating temperature of 550° (optional up to 1200°)
- TMP platens are thicker to diffuse heat evenly across the entire surface
- Heated platens are insulated to maintain uniform temperature with high strength composite and microsanded materials
- Platens are machined from one solid piece of steel or stainless steel and precision drilled for cartridge type heating elements
- Heated platen presses with high wattage heaters are available for rapid heating rates
- Platen heaters are specially coated to improve heat transfer and ease of removal
- Multi-zones and special heater configurations provide uniform heating over the entire platen
- Monitored heater fault detection is available as an option
- Each heated platen press has temperature zone control with PID control that is set and displayed on the operator panel
Platen Press, Oil Heated
TMP Oil Heated Platen Presses provide the most accurate and uniform temperature over the entire range of molding, bonding and laminating applications.
Oil Heated Platen Press Features:
- TMP computer is designed for the most uniform and accurate temperature control
- Controlled heating to an operating temperature of 750°F
- Controlled accurate cooling with properly designed heating/cooling thermal fluid transfer system
- The oil heated platens are machined from one piece solid steel with interconnecting channels, milled and welded on platen outside edges to prevent and possible blockage of transfer fluid flow
- Multi flow zones available for large bonding and laminating press applications
- Oil heated platens are insulated with proper materials to maintain uniform temperature across surfaces and edges
Steam Heated Platen Presses
TMP Steam Heated Platen Presses provide cost effective heating and accurate temperatures for molding, particleboard, laminating and bonding.
Steam Heated Features:
- Properly engineered and designed to match existing or new steam source for heating up to 400°F
- Machined from one piece solid steel with properly sized flow channels
- Steam heated platen designs can be used for hot water heating and cooling applications
- Platens are insulated with high strength materials
- Designed with individual steam traps for each platen or zone to provide overall heating accuracy and uniformity
- Isoplaten® heated platen technology provides high levels of thermal stability and can be designed for electric, oil or steam heated systems
- Isoplatens® can maintain +/-3 °C temperature variation over 90% of the working surface for platen presses that have t-slots, mounting holes and center-injection holes
- Isoplaten's® unique thermal ability to rapidly and evenly distribute heat energy permits the use of one single-zone standard temperature controller for the entire system. No special multi-zone controls and multiple thermocouples are required
