A curing press (vulcanizing press) is an industrial machine used to heat and compress rubber or thermoset plastics to trigger curing, bonding, or molding. Typical presses use heated platens, hydraulic or mechanical force, and precise temperature/pressure controls to produce tires, seals, hoses, and molded components. Sizes range from small lab units to large production presses; buyers evaluate platen condition, controls, and hydraulic systems when selecting used equipment.
Check platen flatness and surface wear, heater and thermocouple function, hydraulic cylinders and hoses for leaks, pressure and temperature controls, safety interlocks, and maintenance records.
Drain fluids, secure moving parts, lock platens, protect heaters and control panels, use experienced heavy-equipment transport, plan lifting points, and insure the load. Consider partial disassembly for very large presses.
Regularly inspect and replace hydraulic oil and seals, verify heater and temperature sensors, calibrate controls, resurface platens as needed, and follow a preventative maintenance schedule with documented checks.
