Vantage Series Hydraulic Presses for Many Applications

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

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.
