Dab Press Board Cutter
Heavy-Duty Dual Pillar Compressing & Stacking Press for Corrugated Sheets and Stationery Binding
The Golden Brand Dab Press (widely known across industrial lines as a Hard Press or Screw Press) is an essential machine built to deliver intense, uniform surface compression across stacked flat sheets. Whether bonding multi-ply corrugated cardboard sheets post-pasting or flattening thick commercial registers and books during binding, this machine eliminates air gaps and uneven setting zones. Built with heavy cast frames and machined structural steel plates, it ensures absolute structural flatness under massive downward force parameters.
Standard mechanical configurations across our three main industrial formats — sizes, operational layouts, weights, and dimensions.
| Platen Size Profile | Operational Mechanism | Max Daylight Stacking Height | Approx. Net Weight (Kg) | Required Floor Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15" × 20" | Manual Hand Wheel / Hyd. | 18" to 24" | 450 Kg | 3' x 2.5' |
| 18" × 24" | Manual Hand Wheel / Hyd. | 24" to 30" | 650 Kg | 3.5' x 3' |
| 20" × 30" | Heavy Duty Manual / Hyd. | 24" to 36" | 850 Kg | 4' x 3' |
Structural Frame: Non-deforming solid cast standards • Pressure Systems: Upgradable to fully automated hydraulic stroke logic for ultra-dense packaging manufacturing lines.
Important maintenance and operational milestones for the Dab Press and Hard Press Assemblies
After corrugated liner sheets pass through a sheet pasting machine, they are closely stacked inside the Dab Press. The machine applies high, continuous downward compression across the surface area to ensure the adhesive spreads uniformly, removes trapped air pockets, and prevents the boards from warping while drying.
Yes, it is highly sought after in commercial printing and stationery manufacturing. It serves as a standard industry tool for compression binding of heavy notebooks, registers, ledgers, and hardbound diaries, ensuring flat structural consistency and flush glued spines.
Our manual variants are engineered with a high-tensile central threaded spindle driven by a balanced hand-wheel or T-bar handle. For high-volume manufacturing environments, we also fabricate fully integrated hydraulic pump models to deliver automated high-pressure cycles.
The machine is constructed with thick, machined dual-side guide pillars. The floating upper platen moves through precision-bored guide tracks to ensure perfectly flat, parallel downward travel even if the material stack is slightly off-center.
We offer three standard industrial sizes optimized for common box plant and printing layouts: 15\" × 20\", 18\" × 24\", and 20\" × 30\", with custom sizes fabricated upon request.
