Unique Washington hot presses
help form "Silvaplex" products
Seven hydraulic hot presses, designed and manufactured by the
Washington Iron Works, Seattle, are being utilized to mold wood
fractions into three-dimensional "Silvaplex" products at the new
Weyerhaeuser plant in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Typical objects
being formed include decorative trays and table tops, drawer and
cabinet components, and counter tops.
Five of the Washington presses are 1500-tons capacity, 5 x 8
feet; two are 4 by 20 feet, 3,000-tons capacity, as pictured on the
reverse. All have automatic cycle timing and pressure controls.
Another major unit of Washington equipment in the "Silvaplex"
plant is an automated conveyor capable of loading the presses
with die sets weighing up to 45 tons.
