The extensible lower plate on the back side of the press exits on the front side, in the same area as the upper plate during its 0/180° titling movement: this results in major restrictions and ergonomic disadvantages, as well as high security risks.

The picture shows that the operator has to climb up and step over the extensible plate in order to enter the working area in front of the tilted upper plate. The operator will be between the two press plates: an extremely small working area, which is further restricted by the side brackets of the 180° tilting function.

When the operator is working with the press upper plate tilted at 150°, he is obviously at risk of being crushed in case of an accidental detachment of the mould or parts of it, considering that there is no real escape option, neither laterally nor at the back.

During the adjusting process, which foresees grinding and polishing operations, the incandescent particles of metal land onto the mould-half, which might have been treated with Prussian Blue and which could consequently be soiled.

This solution severely hinders the possibility of loading moulds with protruding parts, beyond the plate dimensions;

On the contrary, Millutensil’s solutions will make it seem as if you were working with a larger press.

In the picture you can see that it isn’t possible for the operators to stay between the two plates and to accomplish the tilting up to 180°, due to the interference between the components of the two mould-halves.

This configuration significantly penalizes the ergonomics, posing serious safety risks.

In conclusion, this solution is highly inadequate as it compromises operator safety, work ergonomics, and mold cleanliness.

MILLUTENSIL solutions, on the other hand, by arranging the two halves of the moulds far apart, ensure easy access, safety for both the operator and the mould, along with improved ergonomics and working comfort.

The solution also allows for keeping the moulds clean.

Lastly, it is important to consider the significant time savings for validation and maintenance operations.
