Vantage Series Hydraulic Presses for Many Applications

Ideal for Compression Molding, Bonding, Trimming and Laminating: 200 to 1000 Ton Capacities

Vantage Series four-post hydraulic, composite presses. Vantage four-post Hydraulic Compression Molding press.

Energy-Efficient Hydraulic System - Integral hydraulic system features energy-efficient load-sensing pump and TEFC energy-efficient electric motor sized for the press. Components are easily accessible for quick maintenance.

User-friendly Controls — Programmable controller with interface controls press sequence. Digital temperature controllers maintain uniform temperature of optional heated platens.

Reliable Control Systems — NEMA-rated control cabinet designed for easy access.

Safety Guards — All new Wabash presses include a safety guard with keyed interlock around the molding area for improved safety. Sliding, hinged or power gates are available.

Vantage Presses can be Customized for Compression Molding Applications:

While standard Wabash Vantage Presses handle a broad range of applications and can be upgraded or performance-enhanced with available options, your unique requirements may call for a "customized" press. Consult your Wabash representative for more information about "customization " for your particular needs.
