Hydraulic Presses for Compression Molding of Rubber, Plastics and Composites

Genesis Series Hydraulic Composite Press in 15 to 150 Ton Capacities

Genesis Series presses are state-of-the-art hydraulic presses for compression molding of rubber, plastics and composites. The Genesis Series reflects more than a half century of WABASH leadership in hydraulic press design and construction. It is rugged enough for a round-the-clock performance on the production floor, but works equally well as a precision laboratory press.

Genesis presses are available in 15 through 150 ton capacities. The hydraulic system produces faster closing and opening speeds, making it ideal for use with many of today's advanced molding compounds. Optional heated platens are available for 500°F, 800°F and 1200°F operating temperatures, which are required for many other applications including composite, ceramic and other molding.

Genesis Series Hydraulic Presses from Wabash MPI can be Customized to Your Specifications

While standard WABASH Genesis 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.

Genesis Series presses are hydraulic presses for compression molding of rubber, plastics and composites. Features faster closing and opening speeds, optional heated platens and works well as a lab press.
