Woodsen 35-Opening Hydraulic Hot Press Machine with Automated Loading & Unloading System
The Woodsen 35-Layer Automatic Hot Press with Loading & Unloading System is a high-efficiency thermal pressing solution designed for high-volume plywood, LVL, and wood-based panel production. Equipped with a fully automated loading platform and unloading rack, this machine eliminates manual board handling — significantly boosting productivity, reducing labor costs, and ensuring consistent panel quality.
With 35 openings, the machine presses up to 35 boards simultaneously in a single cycle. The integrated automatic feeding system loads pre-glued matts into each layer while the unloading system simultaneously discharges finished panels onto the cooling rack. This parallel operation shortens the hot press cycle and maximizes throughput.
Built with a heavy-duty hydraulic system, PLC touchscreen control, and high-precision temperature management, the Woodsen 35-layer hot press delivers reliable performance for demanding production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does "35 layers" mean? How many boards can it press at once?
A: 35 layers mean the machine has 35 openings (spaces between hot plates). In each cycle, it presses 35 boards simultaneously — one board per layer. This makes it ideal for high-capacity production lines.
Q2: How does the automatic loading and unloading system work?
A: The system consists of a loading rack on the infeed side and an unloading rack on the outfeed side. The loading rack positions pre-assembled matts into each layer of the hot press. After pressing, the unloading rack pushes finished boards out onto a cooling rack. The entire process is PLC-controlled and synchronized with the press opening/closing action.
Q3: What types of boards can this machine process?
A: It is mainly used for plywood, LVL (laminated veneer lumber), blockboard, multi-layer solid wood composite flooring substrates, furniture panels, eco-boards, and other wood-based panels.
Q4: How much labor does this machine save compared to manual operation?
A: Automatic loading and unloading can save up to 2/3 of the time compared to manual handling. In fully automatic mode, only 1–2 operators are needed for monitoring and finished board stacking, versus multiple skilled workers for conventional presses.
Q5: What are the advantages of the dual-inlet/dual-outlet heating system?
A: The dual-inlet/dual-outlet steam or thermal oil system ensures more even and efficient heat distribution across all 36 hot plates. This results in temperature uniformity within ±1.5°C, preventing board warping and ensuring consistent product quality.
Q6: What safety features are included?
A: The machine is equipped with infrared light curtains, emergency stop buttons, limit switches, hydraulic locking systems, and overpressure alarms. Automatic operation also keeps operators away from the hot press area, reducing the risk of burns and injuries.
Q7: Can the machine be customized?
A: Yes. The number of layers, pressure capacity, hot plate size, heating method (thermal oil/electric/steam), and control system can all be customized based on specific production requirements.
Q8: What is the expected daily output?
A: Daily output depends on board thickness and cycle time. For a 35-layer press with automatic loading/unloading, production can reach approximately 300–500 sheets per day (or more, depending on the specific board type and pressing parameters).
Q9: How is the machine controlled?
A: The machine features a PLC system with a touchscreen HMI. Operators can select pre-programmed recipes for different board types, monitor real-time pressure and temperature data, and receive automatic fault alerts. USB data export is also available for production tracking.
