PDH’s hydraulic press for forming heat exchanger plates adopts prestressed steel wire winding technology for both the frame and the main hydraulic cylinder, providing exceptional structural strength and minimal deformation. This makes a significantly longer service life than conventional welded-frame hydraulic presses. Its high-rigidity structure ensures stable operation even under ultra-high forming pressures.

This hydraulic press machine is ideal for shallow drawing, embossing, blanking, and punching processes that require high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface quality.

Advanced Hydraulic & Electrical Control System

The hydraulic system integrates the main hydraulic circuit, ultra-high-pressure control system, and auxiliary hydraulic system. Optimized hydraulic circuit design combined with high-performance cartridge valve technology ensures stable pressure output, reduced hydraulic shock, low energy consumption, and high production efficiency.

An independent PLC control system with a touchscreen HMI provides intelligent machine operation, including automatic process control, safety monitoring, fault diagnosis, and real-time system status display. Both manual and semi-automatic operating modes are available to meet different production requirements.

High-Efficiency Heat Exchanger Plate Forming

PDH hydraulic presses for forming heat exchanger plates are widely used to manufacture large heat exchanger plates across industries, including HVAC, refrigeration, power generation, petrochemical processing, food processing, marine engineering, and energy equipment manufacturing.

The production line integrates blanking, punching, embossing, and forming into a single operation, reducing handling time while improving production efficiency and part consistency. The result is higher productivity, lower labor costs, and excellent forming precision.
