About the Hot Press
Where a cold press relies on time, a hot press relies on heat: heated platens cure the glue line in minutes instead of hours, which is what makes veneering, flush door production and thermoset laminate work commercially viable at volume.
The MH-3848A series gives 120 tonnes of total thrust across a 1300 × 2500 mm platen, carried on eight oil cylinders. Single, two and three daylight versions let you match press capacity to the batch size you actually run.

Key features
- 120 t total thrust across a 1300 × 2500 mm platen
- Eight ø85 mm oil cylinders for even pressure distribution
- Hot oil circulation with dedicated 1.5 kW pump
- Available as 1, 2 or 3 daylight press
- Heating pipe power scaled to daylight count (18 / 27 / 36 kW)
