There are four main types of ThermoPress double belt press, each with its own set of modular options to deliver different levels of heat and pressure.
The ThermoPress HB is a low-pressure range that combines easy-release PTFE belts with the high-quality surface structure of steel belts. Designed for the continuous consolidation and compacting of two or more materials, as in composite cladding, this system enables higher-quality end products and a high pressure press with lower production costs.
The ThermoPress HB double belt press brings the surface quality of a steel belt to the world of PTFE presses for the first time.
Combining the unsurpassed release quality of a PTFE belt with the unique surface structure of a steel belt, the ThermoPress HB enables the economical production of composite products with a Class A surface on one side.
The system is based on our ThermoPress TB double belt press, which uses PTFE-coated belts top and bottom. In the HB series, a special, very thin steel belt is used at the bottom, applying a high-quality surface to one side of the product, without the heavier engineering associated with a steel belt press.
The ThermoPress HB is available in a choice of four modules:
Double belt ThermoPress with nip rollers
Double belt ThermoPress with nip rollers and heating/cooling
Double belt ThermoPress with nip rollers and S-roller
Double belt ThermoPress with nip rollers, S-roller, and counter-pressure roller
This range offers the ideal solution when a high quality surface is needed, such as cladding or the many composite materials used across the automotive industry for interiors/exteriors, body parts, RVs, trucks/trailers and containers.
