Platen Options
For Many Applications
We offer several configurations and choices of platen control to meet the specific demands of your application.
Manual thermostat control – Basic heated platens are controlled by an integral sensor and individual manual thermostats.
Digital control – For more precise control, individual digital temperature controllers automatically control platen temperature from a separate control panel.
Manual cooling – Manual water cooling permits hand operated cooling of platens with monitoring by analog thermometers.
Note: All heaters are single phase unless otherwise noted.
Unheated Hardened Steel Platens – For smooth surface pressing which comes in 4 different sizes. See Reference Table below.
