Hard facts speak for us
Press plates are production tools with high demands. Long durability has a direct positive impact on your unit costs. High hardness, tight tolerances, and precision in detail mean predictable quality for you that remains constant over time.
The experience and know-how of the C.A.PICARD® team is at your disposal for the design of your press plates; from the first sketches to the final detailed solution. Challenge us: we are eager to seek solutions, even for the impossible.
C.A.PICARD® press plates
- Trouble-free production is guaranteed due to no distortion caused by variations in temperature
 - refurbishing is available quickly and at favourable costs
 - high heat conductivity (less input of energy and time)
 - favourable TEC (thermal expansion coefficient)
 - high corrosion resistance
 - high hardness (50 HRC = longer life time)
 - usable for all types of cleaning / brushing machines
