Short-cycle presses
Coating in short cycle
A short-cycle press is a hydraulic press optimized for the shortest possible cycle times. Short-cycle presses are used, for instance, as veneer presses in furniture production. The short cycle times are achieved by timing and speed optimization of the heating capacity, opening speeds, closing speeds, and tempo of press feeding and unloading. Short-cycle presses can be integrated into existing systems and production lines. They deliver a high level of reliability and economic efficiency in such applications. In furniture manufacturing, short-cycle presses are used to feed panels in the production cycle through a fully automated process. This allows the system to work essentially as a through-feed press.
Joos is a traditional company from the Black Forest that has been building presses for over 80 years. As a market leader in veneer presses, we are very familiar with the high demands placed on modern short-cycle presses.

Information on short-cycle coating
Many of the products coated using our systems, in particular furniture, flooring, ceiling panels, etc. are manufactured in short cycles. This includes a diverse range of products: Furniture panels made of solid wood, MDF panels, chipboard or plywood panels are used as base panels. Our presses coat these with veneers, melamine-impregnated papers, and other textured or decorative surfaces.
To work at the speed of production, the presses need to combine quick heating times with short opening and closing times. Panels are usually fed using a belt. The pressing process follows feeding. Finally, the pressed parts leave the press on the other side, on another conveyor belt which takes them to the next step of production. We would be happy to provide the peripheral equipment and automation software necessary for this process.
However, the presses can be used for much more than applying veneers. Presses from Joos are used to press a wide range of new products, like textiles, foams, insulation materials and sandwich panels. We build our presses for customers from industrial sectors like wood processing, van, automotive, aviation, and aerospace technology and the recycling industry.
Joos manufactures presses according to customer specifications, tailored to any application. We fulfill high standards, and deliver durable and economical machines.
