Pressing and lamination
Pressing and lamination
A pioneer in press systems for 60+ years
We produced the world’s first double belt press over 60 years ago and its design principle is still used for continuous industrial pressing to this day.
IPCO is an innovative partner to customers around the world, supplying both isobaric press and isochoric press solutions, a variety of calendering and laminating equipment and supplies, including heated and cooled nip sets for multi-layer lamination, and modular press systems for use in every imaginable sector.
Innovative solutions for continuous industrial pressing and nip pressing
IPCO double belt press and nip roll lamination and calendering processes are used to apply controlled force to create and form everything from high precision electronic components and bio-based composites to heavy duty construction materials.
Our continuous presses can also incorporate heating, cooling, and tempering zones, resulting in ultra-efficient, multi-stage systems capable of a full range of applications including:
Calendering
Calibrating
Consolidating
Densification
Impregnating
Laminating
Embossing
Pressing (isobaric and isochoric)
Thanks to our web converting expertise, we can also offer nip pressing sets that facilitate multi-layered lamination of a wide variety of substrates at varying pressures.
Our unique ranges and extensive experience across different industries mean that whatever your product and process requirements, we can design, manufacture, and supply a press system to match, complementing our steel belt based applications with web handling and web converting equipment for the most streamlined process.

Modular press systems to meet your process requirements
Our double belt press laminating machines and/or densification processes offer scalable solutions for everything from product development to industrial scale production.
Our purpose-built roll to roll type pressing solutions for lamination are equally scalable and can be tailored to your temperature, pressure and width requirements.
Because our press systems are modular in design, we can combine different types of processes and materials into a single continuous production system, enabling the development of highly efficient, environmentally friendly process solutions.
This versatility is further enhanced by our ability to supply and combine:
continuous double belt presses based on steel belts, PTFE belts, or a combination of the two
nip and press lamination solutions
steel belt conveyors and expertly designed web handling equipment (including unwinders and winders).
Low pressure systems
Low-pressure double belt presses based on PTFE belts and used for continuous material consolidation and compacting.
High pressure/temperature systems
Isochoric and isobaric steel belt-based thermopressing systems capable of delivering high pressure and temperature.
Hybrid/combi systems
Unique to IPCO – PTFE-based double belt presses, with a steel belt module delivering high pressure in the forming zone, through the PTFE belt.
Calendering systems
Custom engineered calendering equipment to meet specific requirements including process temperature, pressure and width.
Nip and press web converting systems
Tailor made lamination, embossing and calendaring equipment that can operate at a wide range pressures and temperatures.
