The transportation and installation of a platen press is in demand among publishers and companies working with printing equipment, since a platen press is a device that allows die-cutting, creasing and perforation of printed products.
A platen press for cutting, as well as die-cutting and embossing, works with various materials: paper of different densities, cardboard, leather, fabric and other materials.
A platen press is used for:
– Cutting. This procedure allows paper and cardboard products to be given the required contour and shape. Cutting is used when creating various products: posters, small calendars, etc.;
– Die-cutting. This procedure makes it possible to cut a printed product into shapes. A high-performance platen press for die-cutting copes excellently with processing labels, calendars and other printed products;
– Foil stamping — a material with which any product can be originally decorated, given uniqueness and a presentable appearance.
Platen press rigging
The weight of a platen press can be 10 tonnes, and specialised rigging equipment must be used to transport it.
Most often, special fastening elements — eye bolts — are used for such transportation. They differ from a standard fastening bolt by having a ring instead of a head.
The ring makes it much easier to secure the equipment with textile slings rated for its weight.
