Paper Conservation Drying & Flattening Press

The Manual / Electric Flattening Press is a basic flattening configuration under the Paper Conservation Drying & Flattening Press product page, used to flatten and shape archives, rare books, books and other paper materials after repair.

The equipment uses an all-steel and cast-iron structure. A large handwheel, wear-resistant screw and high-precision leadscrew provide uniform flattening for paper-conservation work requiring stable mechanical pressure and a small footprint.

• All-steel material and cast-iron structure;
• Manual large handwheel and wear-resistant screw;
• Linear bearings;
• Multi-rivet reinforced structure;
• High-precision rotating leadscrew for labour-saving operation;
• Uniform pressure distribution;
• Stable structure and small footprint;
• Load-bearing base;
• Pressing dimensions can be customized to use requirements.

Pressing arrangement, working area and operating method are selected according to the treated material, conservation workflow and available space.

Suitable for:

• Flattening repaired rare books;
• Flattening archive paper;
• Shaping book paper;
• Setting paper documents after conservation;
• Paper-conservation work requiring uniform mechanical pressure.

Pressing dimensions can be customized to use requirements.

The Economic Heated Flattening Press is a heat-assisted configuration for flattening and mounting paper, Xuan paper paintings, calligraphy and related flat materials.

It combines controlled heating with a broad pressing surface for workshop and conservation-laboratory workflows.

• Typical daily electricity consumption: 3–5 kWh
• Automatic temperature control with automatic time display
• PID precision temperature-control module
• Temperature-compensation technology designed to reduce energy use by 37.5%
• Standardized heating core

• Simple operation, automatic temperature control and low power consumption
• Suitable for dry and damp processes with rapid, flat and flexible results
• Designed to reduce yellowing and curling and to support mold- and insect-risk control
• Stable operation across changing climate conditions
• Work sizes can be configured for different artwork dimensions

Select the heating surface, overall footprint and power according to the maximum object size, treatment process, available space and required throughput. Custom work-surface sizes can be evaluated for confirmed projects.

A fully automatic pneumatic press for controlled flattening, heat-assisted treatment and drying of paper, archives, books, paintings, calligraphy and long-format flat materials.

Dual cylinders and a long-travel mechanism provide a stable pressure stroke across large work surfaces.

• Fully automatic design with fast, long-travel operation
• Dual pneumatic cylinders for smooth, stable pressure application
• Extended material trough for convenient handling and collection of long rolls and continuous-length materials

• Timed automatic lifting
• PID digital temperature control
• Operating timer adjustable up to 999 seconds
• Integrated remote and manual controls
• Custom work sizes can be evaluated

Select the heating surface, overall footprint, weight and power according to maximum object dimensions, treatment workflow, floor loading, available space and required throughput. Confirm compressed-air supply and installation access during project planning.
