Pneumatic press and accessories

At Specialist company, you can buy a pneumatic press made to order. We can assemble a desktop or stationary pneumatic press individually according to your requirements using our components, or offer the supply of a fully assembled unit from Europe or China. The approximate cost and production time are calculated after providing us with design documentation or the following data:

  • pressing force (Newton or kg)
  • operating cycle frequency over a period of time
  • stroke distance adjustment

Building a pneumatic press yourself?

We can offer you all the necessary components for assembling, upgrading, or repairing a pneumatic-driven press:

  • screw compressors and air preparation equipment (air dryers and filters)
  • for manual control — pneumatic valves for presses with buttons or a lever, air pressure regulators for adjusting the pressing force;
  • for automatic pressing lines — PLCs, capacitive sensors, solenoid valves and distributors, pressure switches, electronic regulators, automatic condensate drains;
  • power pneumatic cylinders for presses;
  • fittings, tubing, flow control valves, silencers, pressure gauges, and more
  • metal or plastic mounting parts — we have equipment for manufacturing aluminum parts, metalworking machinery, and a 3D printer for polymer printing.

Our advantage is our own production facilities, manufacturing of pneumatic cylinders, and a wide range of ready-made electronics and pneumatic equipment stocked in Ukraine (Lviv and Kamianske Dnipropetrovsk region). We provide enterprises with proven and reliable spare parts at competitive prices.

Pneumatic punching press

Using our pneumatic components, it is possible to manufacture or modernize punching presses for metal sheets, plastic and composite workpieces, leather, and textiles. Use Specialist impact pneumatic cylinders for punching shaped holes in workpieces.

Desktop pneumatic punching press 200 kg

One of the popular solutions on the market is a compact pneumatic press with a force of 200 kg, equipped with a controller and electric pedal, which is a very affordable, simple, and versatile option. Example of a pneumatic line assembly:

Desktop pneumatic press 200 kg assembled from Specialist components

  1. screw air compressor with receiver, supplied with a refrigerated dryer and moisture separators SCC-ZAI;
  2. manual valve SV-I-H-32
  3. air preparation unit with pressure gauge SA-CM
  4. adjustable stroke pneumatic cylinder from 50 to 150 mm, piston diameter 80 mm SC-DNGJ
  5. pneumatic valve 4V210-08
  6. fittings and tubing: pneumatic tubing SF-EU, straight push-in fittings SF-EPC and elbow fittings SF-EPL, plastic silencer SF-PUL.

If PLC programming is not required, the assembly can be made more cost-effective by using a pneumatic pedal or push-button valves. It is also possible to increase the nominal force of such a machine without increasing pressure — for this, order large-diameter pneumatic cylinders (from 100 to 320 mm), along with correspondingly larger valves, fittings, and tubing.

Pneumohydraulic press up to 5 tons

If you need a powerful press with a force of several tons, we can offer a combined pneumohydraulic drive. Pneumatics are responsible for the control line, while the hydraulic part allows significant force generation with relatively compact dimensions.

Pneumatic press for installing fittings

Semi-automatic machines for installing metal rivets or eyelets are used in the production of clothing, footwear, and banners. Riveting machines are usually very compact to allow installation on a table. For these applications, we recommend the following Specialist equipment:

Pneumatic press for fittings: pneumatic cylinders
  1. round stainless steel pneumatic cylinders MS with reed position sensors for safety mechanisms
  2. short-stroke cylinders with rectangular SDA profile for the main drive

For larger and more powerful machines with higher operating intensity, CPI series pneumatic cylinders according to ISO 6431 and an air filter-regulator with lubricator and pressure gauge SA-CN can be used.

We can also supply servo motors and servo drives for rivet installation machines where higher precision of force and speed control is required.

Pneumatic press for cheese production

In the food industry, horizontal lines and semi-automatic vertical multi-section machines can be found, designed for forming cheese mass into solid cheese blocks through mechanical pressing. The pressing force is generated by pneumatic cylinders capable of producing from 1,000 to 20,000 N. The required machine power depends on the technology used — composition, pressing time, temperature, etc. For convenience, such machines allow pressing force adjustment by changing the pressure on the regulator. Molds that come into contact with raw materials are made of stainless steel, which is safe for contact with food products.

Pneumatic press for juice production and winemaking

Specialized devices for extracting fruit juice from grapes, apples, or other fruits in industrial conditions typically use a membrane rather than pneumatic cylinders. For such machines, we can offer related equipment for complete automation of the production line — compressors, air filters, flow and pressure regulators, solenoid valves for food products, and ball valves with electric and pneumatic actuators. We also offer high-pressure pneumatic equipment for PET bottle blowing and have experience in automating filling and packaging lines.

Operating principle of a pneumatic press

How does a pneumatic press work?

The energy for operating a pneumatic press is provided by compressed air generated by a compressor and supplied into the cavities of pneumatic cylinders. Pneumatic pistons convert it into force equivalent to from 20 kg to 1–2 tons, depending on the power of the press.

What are the advantages of a pneumatic press?

  • pneumatics provide a low noise level when silencers are used;
  • compared to electric drives, pneumatic cylinder mechanics are simpler and more reliable, easier to maintain and repair;
  • greater cleanliness of production facilities — the working medium of pneumatic systems is air, therefore in case of damage and leakage there is no oil leakage as in hydraulic systems.
