Steam & Fluid Platen Refurbishing and Repair
It is crucial to operational efficiencies that fluid or steam hydraulic platens for any application maintain their flatness and parallelism. If a platen is slightly bent, nicked, or gouged, it will produce imperfections in the end product. Lead times begin to lengthen, and customer satisfaction plummets when a platen’s flaws become more pronounced. As a steam and fluid hydraulic platen press manufacturer, Venango Machine Company’s refurbishing program can re-machine steam and fluid platens that have sustained damage in pressing accidents. Furthermore, Venango’s highly skilled engineers are practiced in modifying steam platens for fluid heating, upgrading hanger and guide systems to accommodate additional press openings, and restoring flat and parallel specifications to platens suffering from wear and tear. With an investment in your existing machines, Venango can help operators regain their competitive edge while producing excellent pressed materials, keeping customers happy, and shortening lead times.
