A Send the finished pad dimensions, required thickness or previous specification, material preference, quantity and delivery destination. Add the press model and operating conditions if available. A clear photo or drawing is helpful when the existing specification is unknown.

A Service life depends on temperature, pressure, cycle frequency, installation and contamination. Assess pad condition alongside changes in pressing performance. Uneven panel surfaces can have several causes, so check the press plate and process conditions before attributing the problem to the pad.

A We can review replacement requirements for other presses using the installation dimensions, pad specification and operating conditions. Compatibility must be confirmed for the particular machine; pads are not interchangeable solely because two presses use the same board size.

A The applicable limits depend on the specific pad construction and operating conditions. Send your platen temperature, pressing pressure and cycle time so the proposed specification can be checked. Identify whether the pressure value refers to the hydraulic system or the panel pressing area.

A Use the press installation drawing or the previous pad specification to confirm finished length, width and nominal thickness. Include mounting allowances. 

A Yes. BECCOR manufactures hot press cushion pads in China, including silicone rubber constructions with copper or brass wire. We also manufacture hot press equipment for wood-based panel processing.
