01 — Press System

2000T Four Column Hydraulic Press Machine

An ultra-high-capacity four-column hydraulic press engineered for high-tonnage compression molding, deep-draw forming, and lamination of lightweight interior trim components. It delivers exceptional platen rigidity, precise multi-zone temperature regulation, and rapid pressure response for consistent high-volume automotive manufacturing.

Use Case

Designed specifically for large-format molding and multi-layer pressing of vehicle inner door cards, side trims, and integrated armrest structures. It enables simultaneous deep forming, vacuum-assisted skin adhesion, and edge wrapping while ensuring flawless Class A aesthetic surfaces.

  • Core Applications: Manufacturing front and rear automotive inner door panels, side armrest carriers, and lower door map pocket assemblies. It is also utilized for laminating luxury vehicle interior pillars, cab side linings, and integrated speaker grille housings.
  • Material: Utilizes flexible skin coverings like PVC films, TPO, PU, and synthetic leather combined with eco-friendly natural fiber PP composites (NFPP), ABS, and glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. PU foam backings are routinely incorporated to deliver superior acoustic insulation and a premium soft-touch cushioned feel.
  • Products Processed: Fully integrated multi-material door cards, lightweight eco-composite trim boards, and soft-wrapped side armrests. Additional outputs include acoustic lower door inserts, passenger-side impact panels, and custom luxury vehicle interior side panels.
  • Why 2000-Ton Hydraulic Press: The massive 2000-ton press capacity provides the uniform tonnage required to consolidate large-surface natural fiber and composite substrates without structural density variation. It ensures deep-draw mold cavity filling, prevents skin creasing, and guarantees flawless structural integrity across expansive panel dimensions.
