Laminate Pressing

The PRESS

Apply Works has a heated hydraulic press which is capable of pressing panels up to 2500mm x 1300mm in size. The press has a single daylight of 300mm which allows us to press large batches of panels in one operation. Alternatively, we can use the heated platens to speed up the pressing times on individual panels, allowing a rapid throughput of panels which have been thoroughly cured.

Materials

A common application for this service is to press high pressure laminates such as Formica, Fenix, or Polyrey, onto birch plywood or MDF. Pressed panels can then be transferred over to one of our CNC routers for machining. By providing these two services simultaneously under one roof we can shorten lead-times, reduce costs associated with outsourcing, and reduce the transport of material between different sites.

We also regularly press Furniture Linoleum on to birch plywood for furniture and shop fit applications. We can also press plywood to plywood to make larger thicknesses, and bespoke sizes.

Specify the core material you require, for example Birch plywood, chipboard or MDF. Provide details of your chosen laminate and whether you require the laminate on both faces (this is often necessary to balance the tension in the core material). If you are unsure on materials specifics, don’t hesitate to get in touch as this is something we are more than happy to advise you on.

We can also laminate multiple boards of standard sheet materials if you require a different material thickness.
