Product information

HF, always driven to bring innovative concepts to the market, brought the first hydraulic column type curing press to the tire industry in 1997. Since then we continued to develop this product to meet the demanding requirements of our customers.

While we design presses for your further expansion needs, we also understand the importance of utilizing your existing infrastructure in your plants all around the world.

Due to our compact design we are able to provide slim solutions for your replacement purposes.

HF presses can be built modularly to include the required center mechanism SMO, loader and unloader chuck, green tire stands, cooling conveyors with or without PCI and associated safety items.

Features
