A hydraulic press works by using a plunger to exert pressure on a fluid in a small chamber. The force produced by this pressure results in a larger force that's put to use in a master cylinder. The master cylinder then presses down on whatever is on the plate underneath. The press is operating under Pascal's theory for pressure on liquids which holds that the pressure will remain constant.
While people have used hydraulic presses to gain internet fame by crushing unusual items such as cheese and magnets, the press has important uses in industry. Read this blog to learn more.
Car Part Manufacturing
Auto manufacturers have many uses for the hydraulic press. The main use is in the manufacture of car parts. They can use hydraulic presses to manufacture large parts such as body panels and brake pads as well as smaller parts such a clutches and even more complex auto parts. What's more, the manufacturers can use them to assemble the parts for automobiles, too.
Parts Manufacture
The auto industry aren't the only ones who find hydraulic presses useful. For instance, manufacturers can use the press to shape panels for washing machines, microwaves, and dishwashers. As with car making, they also use the hydraulic press to assemble parts, such as thermostat casings, light switches, and appliance parts.
Car Crushing
At the other end of a car's life is the crusher. Indeed, the heart of the car crushing system is a hydraulic press, which makes sense considering how much force the master piston can produce. With the car crusher machine, the hydraulic press lowers the plate at a steady rate to provide an even compression, which makes the storage and transfer of car remains much easier.
Ceramic Making
Hydraulic presses are useful at the manufacturing end of cement, too. In fact, manufactures can replace the traditional heat kilns with the operation of a hydraulic press at room temperature. They apply the low pressure needed to compress ceramics into their target form. In less time than is needed with kiln firing they can produce cement, bricks, bathroom tiles, and related products.
Now that you see how useful hydraulic presses are, you may be in the market for one. Or you may need to service one you're already using. Here at Carolina Hose & Hydraulics, we distribute and service the parts that go into any hydraulic device. Talk to us about how a hydraulic press can benefit your business.
