Overall Length: Twenty-four inches (24")
Overall Width: Fifteen inches (15")
Overall Height: Eighteen inches (18")
Press Weight: One hundred seventy-five pounds (175 lbs.)
Steel Bed Length: Twenty-four inches (24")
Steel Bed Width: Thirteen inches (13")
Steel Bed Thickness: Three-eighths inch steel (3/8")
Steel Bed Construction: Three-eighths inch (3/8") steel is flame cut and stress relieved. The bed is ground on both sides for flatness.
Top Roller Diameter: Four and one-half inches (4-1/2")
Top Roller Construction: The top roller is 4-1/2" x 12" extra heavy duty steel tubing. It is fabricated and has two 1/2" steel plates welded on both ends with a welded shaft that is approximately one and one-half inches in diameter. The top roller is machined to exacting tolerances to allow for superior printing and has self-aligning ball bearing units.
Bottom Roller Diameter: Solid steel roller is three inches (3") in diameter
Bottom Roller Construction: The bottom roller is machined to exacting tolerances to allow for a superior printing machine. The bottom roller is supported by two self-aligning ball bearing units. These bearings, chosen for their durability, are maintenance free.
Frame: Consists of two sides that are flame cut out of 3/8" steel plate. These two plates are then drilled and machined as a unit to ensure exact and proper alignment.
Pressure System: Printing pressure is applied in the conventional method by lowering the top roller onto the bed. The upper roller can be raised to approximately two inches above the press bed.
Drive System: The ease of hand cranking under any pressure is obtained by our superior gear reduction system that is enclosed in a custom cast bronze wheel.
Finish: We use an automotive type of finish that is a three step process which consists of special cleansers, special primers and a special paint called Imron, a Dupont product. This paint is a two-part polyurethane which ensures a durable hard finish. This paint, a two-part polyurethane which ensures a durable hard finish, is used by manufacturers of custom automobile and airplane bodies. We go through this labor intensive process to ensure that you have a unique custom quality finish that will endure for years and years. Either polished aluminum or polished bronze are used for the other exposed metal parts.
Bed Safety Stops: We have two aluminum safety stops on either end of the bed that act as a mechanical stop. These stops are aluminum so they are softer than the steel bottom roller that is comes in contact with. In addition, we have a two and one-half inch aluminum round plate that prevents the press bed from tipping out. For example, if you were to raise the top roller as high as it would go, it would be impossible for the bed to drop out due to the safety stops.
