Max 60Kg/sq. cm
Vertical press designed to apply a maximum pressure of 60 kg/sq. cm on the product. All parts in contact with the product are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
The hydraulic system is filled with non-toxic, colourless, odourless and tasteless oil, suitable for accidental contact with foodstuffs.
The pressure value, the descent speed of the pressing plate and the stand-by times during the pressing process are managed by a programmable PLC located on a console onboard the machine.
