Beckwood Engineers Presses for Innovative Mulch Application

St. Louis, MO – Beckwood Press Company recently partnered with a leading landscaping products company to develop hydraulic presses for rubberized mulch.  The presses were designed for a compression molding process with unique loading features and dwell.   

The two custom made hydraulic presses have 20 ton capacities and are equipped with an efficient power system that runs both machines.  They are integrated with dual cavity shuttle systems and 24″ of stroke, with 3″ injector cylinders and PLC programming.
