The MH2500*1250 Allison Cold Press is a heavy-duty, industrial cold press designed for woodworking and composite pressing. It features a 5.5 kW motor, PLC control, a robust pressure vessel, and is engineered for long service life and consistent, high-quality cold pressing.
Key specifications include: total power 5.5 kW; maximum pressure 50T; machine dimensions (L×W×H) 3500×1250×2300 mm; table size 3000×1250 mm; weight 2500 kg; number of cylinders 2; cylinder diameters available 150, 125, 90 mm; maximum sheet thickness options 1000 / 1300 / 1500 mm (depending on configuration).
It is intended for woodworking (furniture, cabinetry, panels), laminate pressing (flooring and panel manufacture), and various composite material pressing applications that benefit from cold bonding—such as veneers, laminates and certain engineered wood products.
Cold pressing uses mechanical pressure without added heat, which helps preserve material integrity, reduces energy consumption, and can be preferable for adhesives and materials that cure or bond at ambient temperatures. It avoids heat-related warping or damage to heat-sensitive substrates.
The PLC control enables precise setting and monitoring of pressing parameters (pressure, time and sequence), repeatable cycles, and easier batch-to-batch consistency. It simplifies operation, troubleshooting and process control compared with manual systems.
The MH2500*1250 has a maximum pressure rating of 50 tonnes (50T), designed to handle large and heavy wood pieces for industrial production.
Typical safety elements include emergency stop controls, mechanical guards and pressure protection devices. Recommended practices are to use provided guards, follow lockout/tagout during maintenance, keep hands clear of the press area, and train operators on the PLC and emergency procedures. Verify the exact safety equipment and options with the supplier.
The machine weighs approximately 2500 kg and has a footprint around the stated machine dimensions (3500×1250 mm), so a flat, level foundation capable of supporting the weight is required. Lifting equipment (crane/forklift) and sufficient clearance for loading/unloading and maintenance are necessary. Electrical supply and any local anchoring requirements should be confirmed with Allison or your installer.
Regular maintenance includes keeping the press clean, checking and tightening fasteners, inspecting cylinder seals and connections, ensuring proper lubrication of moving parts, and verifying electrical/PLC connections. Frequency depends on usage; follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and service manual for specific intervals and procedures.
The machine comes with a 1-year warranty. The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects in parts and workmanship; consult the Allison warranty terms for details on coverage exclusions, claim procedures and responsibilities for shipping or service costs.
A typical cycle: prepare and position the material on the table, set pressing parameters (pressure and time) on the PLC, ensure guards are in place, start the press cycle, monitor pressure and time on the interface, allow the cycle to complete, and then safely release and remove the pressed workpiece. Always follow the detailed operating manual and safety procedures.
Allison offers different configurations (e.g., cylinder diameters and maximum sheet-thickness options noted in the specs). Additional customization or accessories may be available—contact the supplier to discuss specific production needs, optional features or tailored configurations.
Spare parts and technical support are typically available through Allison or authorized dealers. For critical components, ask about recommended spare parts kits, lead times, and service agreements to minimize downtime.
Yes. Operators should receive training on safe operation, PLC programming and routine maintenance. Proper training reduces risk of accidents, improves pressing quality and helps extend machine life. Allison or its dealers can often provide training packages or documentation.
Cycle time depends on material type, thickness, adhesive curing requirements and chosen pressure/time settings. Because these variables affect throughput, consult the Allison technical team with sample materials and production targets so they can recommend typical cycle times and estimate daily/weekly capacity under your process parameters.
