Wet press technology
Press systems for slabs, tiles, pavers and specialist concrete products where surface finish, density and dimensional accuracy decide whether the product sells.
Why press
What pressing gives you that vibration cannot.
Higher compaction under sustained pressure produces a denser body, a closed surface and tighter tolerances.
01
Denser body
Sustained pressure compacts the mix further than vibration alone, raising strength at the same cement content.
02
Closed surface
A finer, tighter face takes colour and polish, which is what specialist products are bought for.
03
Tighter tolerances
Consistent thickness across the pallet, so laying rates go up and rejects come down.
04
Specialist shapes
Slabs, tiles and thin profiles that a vibro machine cannot hold dimensionally.
The presses
Three systems, three levels of output.
From a single press for specialist lines to hermetic pressing for the highest finish requirements.
