Large utility spaces occupied by mountains of paper, cardboard boxes and other paper waste are a common picture for large stores, shopping centers, markets and cafes. Long-expired documents and other paper waste take up large spaces in office space or warehouses, forcing firms to rent new space instead of spending that money on investments. The press for waste paper is designed to solve such problems.

With its modest cost (on average, from 80 to 100 thousand rubles), it allows you to reduce the total amount of waste paper by about 20 times. In addition, it becomes possible to hand over pressed cardboard to organizations involved in the processing of secondary raw materials and receive additional profit from this.

Hydraulic based device

A horizontal press for waste paper is being manufactured in the city of Ivanovo by the Tael company. Waste press (hydraulic) is gaining popularity every day because of its versatility. Its other name is GWP - 2 mini (the figure can vary from 1 to 4 depending on the model).

Its characteristics:

Productivity - 80 kilograms per hour.
The force exerted by the mini-model press on secondary raw materials is 2 tons.

Horizontal waste paper press mini class is designed for pressing waste paper of almost all types of paper, cardboard products and plastic bottles. It requires a 220 volt power supply to operate. The main feature of such a mini-device is that it can operate in critical temperature conditions: from -30°C to +45°C. The mechanical press for waste paper has dimensions of about two meters (hence the mini), which makes it easy to install the machine in underground rooms or basements. Further on the characteristics:

The loading hole measures 50 x 50 cm.
The size of the compressed bale is 40 x 50 x 35.
Maximum weight - about 20 kg.
The minimum is 10 kilograms.

For effective use of the device, the forces of one person are enough. Due to the fact that the cardboard press is made in Russia, there should be no problems with the purchase of additional spare parts for replacement or oils for lubrication.

The cost varies from 65,000 to 75,000 rubles.

Vertical model Barinel 1500LP

A press for cardboard is produced in the city of St. Petersburg by the Barinel company.

This model of vertical waste paper press has the following features:

The performance that a vertical copy has varies depending on the model and ranges from 2 to 5 tricks per hour.
The force on the raw material is about six tons.

The waste paper press is used to process all types of paper waste, plastic containers, light boxes made of wood and ferrous metal with a thickness of no more than 1.2 mm. A 220 volt network is required for operation. The height of the unit is 1 meter 70 centimeters, which makes it possible to install it in almost every room. The opening for loading is 40 by 50. The size of the bale that is formed by the device is 50 centimeters.

Pressing waste paper on this device can be effectively carried out by one person. The main feature of the device is the ability to increase the pressure approximately twice, which will increase the density and pressed cardboard will take up less space.

A vertical press for cardboard has a cost of 75,000 to 90,000 rubles.

baling device

The baling press for waste paper is used in points that are engaged in the reception of secondary raw materials. Such a device has the highest pressure on pressed cardboard - from 15 to 50 tons, which allows you to make a compact bale. For loading which it is not necessary to use any manipulator.

You can also use a manual automatic press in other institutions that work with papers. However, not every organization can afford such packaging due to the high cost - from 120,000 to 200,000 rubles.

DIY paper waste press

Do-it-yourself waste paper press can be made in two types:

Mechanical. A simple home-made apparatus that has a relatively small power (efforts reach one ton).
Hydraulic. A more useful home-made unit, the capacity of which reaches 4 tons.

Obviously, the choice should fall on the hydraulic hand press because of the higher efficiency. Do-it-yourself drawing of the device.

To make a homemade press and get pressed cardboard, you need locksmith tools:

Device for welding based on direct / alternating current.
Wire for direct welding.
A hacksaw designed for cutting metal.
For the manufacture of the base - a steel profile.

The waste press will work on the basis of a hydraulic jack.

We follow the instructions:

Determine the size of the machine. It is necessary to take into account the length of the jack piston, since the size of the bale itself will directly depend on this parameter.
We make a platform for the device. Here will be located such important details as a plate, a chamber, fasteners in order to fix the jack (it must be made adjustable for greater versatility).
Installing racks. The plate itself and the emphasis will move along them. It is thanks to these actions that the pressed cardboard will shrink.

For the walls and door of the chamber, metal should be used that has a thickness of more than 2 mm. This is done in order to avoid deformation during operation.

A waste paper press will help convert a mountain of papers, boxes and other paper waste into compact bags, which will save space.

This is especially necessary for large shops, cafes, enterprises that have a lot of paper waste. In order not to expand the utility rooms, it is easier to make pressed waste paper.

Types of presses

Presses for paper waste produce a variety of both in size and performance and principle of operation. There are mini-installations, medium-sized equipment and large industrial models, mobile installations or stationary ones.

According to the design and method of pressing, the following types of presses are distinguished:

mechanical;
hydraulic;
hydromechanical;
baling.

Mechanical press for waste paper

Such an installation works with the help of a screw drive, which can be electromechanical or manual. The press force is in the range of 4-32 tons.

The manual screw press is powered by the energy of a large flywheel, which is manually accelerated. The limiting pressing force in such presses is determined by the diameter of the flywheel and its height. The thread on the screw is self-locking and multi-pass.

The screw press is carried out vertically with a cast iron bed and an anti-friction bronze nut.

In a mechanically driven screw press, the nut is rotated by an electric motor and a gear or V-belt drive.

The disadvantage of such designs is the need to install protection against torque overload. At the end of pressing, the fuse must be activated.

Of the advantages - small size and weight. Some models can be installed outdoors.

Hydraulic Waste Paper Press

The installation has become more widespread, despite the fact that it is more overall than mechanical. The equipment includes a pumping unit, an ejection mechanism and a control system. The working part is sliders and hydraulic cylinders. The working fluid is distilled from the lower cavity of the cylinder to the upper one.

Pressing is performed with a force of 2.5–3 atmospheres according to the pressure gauge.

Hydraulic presses are:

with manual control;
semi-automatic;
automatic.

The devices consist of a hydraulic cylinder and a lever mechanism. They are distinguished by the fact that at the end of the movement of the plate, the speed decreases, and the press force increases many times, as well as economical energy consumption.

The automatic press has a horizontal layout. The unit pushes the finished bag out of the working area and creates a knot for bandaging.

Volumes of processed raw materials

The simplest presses, compacting only light materials such as paper and cardboard, create a pressure force of 4 to 10 tons.

Presses with an average pressure of 10 to 15 tons can process thermoplastic products.

Presses with a high pressure force of up to 30 tons compact even sheet metal products. Their cost is high, so you need an economic justification when buying such a unit.

Equipment dimensions

The size of the presses directly depends on how much waste paper or other waste needs to be processed. According to the dimensions, the equipment is divided into the following formats:

mini;
standard;
professional.

Mini. Such presses do not require attachment to the surface, they are easy to move and easy to manage. The volume of waste paper in such a unit is reduced by only 3 times, its productivity is low. For home use by individuals, small offices, trade market pavilions, it is quite suitable.

Standard. Intended for:

warehouses;
points accepting waste paper;
shops;
companies dealing with large volumes of securities.

These units need a strong attachment to a horizontal surface. The pressure created by them allows to reduce the volume of waste paper by five times.

Professional. Designed for printing companies, complexes of large warehouses with a huge flow of paper and cardboard waste. These wastes after pressing are reduced in volume by 10 or more times. The applied force is 30 tons. Installation of such an industrial press and its maintenance is carried out only by qualified personnel. Installation requires a room with certain dimensions, spacious and high.

Classification of equipment according to the method of loading raw materials

Waste loading methods differ for different types of presses and can be:

vertical;
horizontal;
corner.

Mini and Standard equipment mainly consists of vertical presses.

Professional hydraulic presses for horizontal waste are included. They can compress not only paper waste, but also compress recyclables: solid household waste, plastic bottles, and more.

Waste paper press control

The waste pressing process is controlled by a special lever. The lever drives the pressing sliders. They can be stopped at any time by blocking. Pressure is controlled according to indications of manometers.

Management is carried out by one person and does not require special knowledge and skills.

Parts of the unit need constant lubrication, especially with frequent work.

How to choose a press

When choosing a waste paper press, you need to keep in mind that its price directly depends on its performance, pressure and other technical characteristics.

First of all, you need to focus on the volume of required processing. Based on this, select the required performance, the capacity of the working chamber.

Equally important are the power consumption and dimensions of the installation.

For small needs, compact models are preferred. They can be installed in a small room and even in a waste paper machine.

Some installations can bale textile and plastic products: disposable tableware, bottles. Such equipment will help to dispose and remove waste much faster and easier.

The most popular equipment models

A large assortment of hydraulic presses for waste paper is produced at the Arzamas plant "Gidropress".

The proposed models are equipped with systems for automatic unloading of finished compressed bales. Individual elements of these systems were developed in Italy, while precision automation elements are manufactured in France.

This equipment works reliably in any conditions, even in the absence of heating in the room in which it is installed, and at sub-zero temperatures.

On vertical presses, bales are obtained with a mass of:

up to 200 kg on small presses;
up to 350 kg on medium presses;
up to 600 kg on large presses.

This suggests that any consumer can make a choice for himself.

Hydraulic presses in horizontal design have significantly higher productivity. In addition to paper waste, they are used for pressing municipal solid waste, plastic, aluminum cans. They are characterized by fast and efficient loading from above, there is no need to level the layer. The bale is formed after 5–6 loads and has a high density.

Horizontal hydraulic presses of the Mega series with a conveyor installation have the following characteristics:

weight of the pressed bale - 200–650 kg;
package size - from 1000x800 to 2100x800 mm;
working stroke of the traverse - from 1600 to 3300 mm.

Popular models are the following:

With vertical loading. Dimensions: 200x64x42 cm. The size of the finished briquettes is 50x40x35 cm, it processes up to 500 kg of raw materials per day, the applied force is 2 tons.

Barinel 1500LP6 with vertical loading. Dimensions: 160x56x67 cm. The size of the finished briquettes is 50x50x50 cm, the applied force is 6 tons, it produces up to 5 briquettes per hour, weighing up to 30 kg each.

Do-it-yourself waste paper press

The simplest equipment for making briquettes from paper waste can be made independently using the drawings of devices that are easy to find on the Internet. For the design, it is necessary to specify the dimensions of the installation, the desired travel of the traverse and the allowable pressure force.

Based on the dimensions of the chamber for pressing waste paper and the desired force of the press, a conventional hydraulic jack is selected, which will serve as a pressure device. The traverse will move in the direction depending on where the jack is installed. More convenient is the top layout of the jack, in which the traverse moves down.

Making a bed and a jack

For the construction of the frame, thick sheet material is used from high-quality construction steel 12 GS, manufactured in accordance with GOST 19282. The elements of the frame from such steel are better welded. The bed is a rectangular closed frame.

The capabilities of the jack determine the dimensions of the frame and traverse. The traverse must have free idling. This is necessary in order to be able to load the waste. After creating a waste paper package, the traverse should return to its original position. To do this, the design provides for two springs, which are arranged symmetrically.

Control system installation

At the last stage, the electric drive control system is mounted. Most often it is two buttons, as the simplest option.

In terms of the level of force developed (up to 120 kN), home-made presses for waste paper are not inferior to purchased ready-made models of such equipment.

Advantages of a Waste Paper Press

Novice entrepreneurs and businessmen need to think in a timely manner about what they will do with paper waste, which literally “eats up” the usable space of offices and warehouses.

A waste paper press will help solve the waste problem, because its main function is to compress waste paper into dense bales that are more convenient to store and transport.

It is not difficult to choose a suitable installation, the choice is very large. And if over time the unit turns out to be unnecessary for any reason, it can be rented out or sold at a profit.

When working in a car workshop, it is often necessary to do pressing work. This will require special equipment - a hydraulic press. You can buy it or make it yourself.

The relevance of the manufacture of hydraulic press

Most often, this equipment is necessary for installation and repair work. Some suspension or running gear components must be properly dismantled for refurbishment.

The main difficulty is the cost of the hydraulic press. Despite the fact that it uses the principle of an ordinary jack, the price of equipment can reach several hundred thousand rubles. Often it is this fact that determines the desire to make a manual press on your own.

The main advantages of operating a home-made structure made from a manual jack with your own hands are as follows:

the ability to adapt equipment for a specific type of work. This applies to both technical indicators and operational qualities;
low cost. The possibility of using improvised materials will significantly affect the final price. The main thing is to choose the right hydraulic jack, as it is the main component of the machine;
maintainability. This is reflected in the cost of operation. It is important to initially make a quality press and choose the right hydraulic jack model.

In addition to the traditional removal of bearings from a vehicle hub, equipment can perform a number of useful tasks. First of all, this concerns the process of controlled deformation of steel structures.

One of the advantages of a do-it-yourself model is its small size. The machine can be placed in any part of the car service. The main thing is to provide convenience for the installation of parts that need to be processed.

Hydraulic press design

When choosing an equipment scheme, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the technical papers of factory models. This will help to draw up the optimal drawing of the hydraulic machine. You can get the necessary information on the websites of manufacturers.

One of the main conditions is the stability of the structure and the ability to withstand heavy loads. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the frame of the press. It will contain the main components.

The simplest model for a car repair shop consists of the following elements:

carrier frame. It is made from channels and corners. The recommended steel thickness is from 2 to 5 mm.
hydraulic jack. For standard work, a model with a load capacity of 12 tons is suitable. It is best to use conventional bottle models;
base table. It will contain the part to be processed. It should consist of two channels with a distance between them. The jack rod will be lowered into it;
nozzle. It is installed on the working piston. Designed for pressing parts with different diameters.

This is a general scheme of do-it-yourself equipment. It is recommended to pre-calculate on paper the required load forces, it is possible to select a pump to increase the speed of operation.

It is important that the support legs of the press increase stability. Additionally, you can install adjusting bolts that calibrate the position of the equipment and the jack.

Making a hydraulic press with your own hands

First you need to pick up tools and consumables for making a hydraulic press with your own hands. This will require a welding machine. Argon welding is not recommended.

A diagram is drawn up in advance, which indicates all the dimensions of the press, its components. This can be done on paper or electronically. For manufacturing, you can use any improvised materials. But in order for a do-it-yourself press to serve for a long time, it is recommended to use the following components:

channel 8. A frame is made from it;
corner 50*50. Used as stiffeners. They also make a movable platform for the mechanical part of it so that it can change its position relative to the horizontal axis;
screws for fixing. In the upper part of the press, it is best to use two methods of fastening components - mechanical and by welding;
jack. The installation of the simplest bottle-type model is recommended. It is important that its carrying capacity corresponds to the design parameters;
springs. They are necessary to return the platform to its original state.

Making a press with your own hands begins with a frame. First, holes are drilled with a drill to install the mounting bolts. Then, according to the plan, the structure is welded and fixed.

The next stage of work is the installation of the jack. It is best to prepare a separate platform on which the hydraulic equipment will be mounted. The stem can be located both at the top and at the bottom. For convenience, you can make a movable platform mounted on the upper horizontal channel. It is important to install the jack in the correct way so that it does not jam when the air is bled.

The springs must be strong enough to raise the weight of the hydraulic platform to its original level. You don’t need to make them yourself - just buy furniture.

Very often, for those who like to make or repair something with their own hands, there is a need to process parts, assemblies by pressing or pressure. An indispensable assistant in this matter will be a hydraulic press, which you can design yourself.

Hydraulic press: principle of operation and purpose

A hydraulic press is a tool that is designed to process materials and various parts under pressure. Equipment powered by liquid under high pressure. The hydraulic press is based on Pascal's law.

The device has two cylinders or chambers. In one smaller one, the liquid is brought to a state of high pressure, and transferred through a special channel or pipeline to a large working chamber, in which the incoming liquid forms a force on the piston, and transfers it to the workpiece with the help of an actuating tool. important the condition for the operation of the press is the installation of a stop, which does not allow the movement of the workpiece or part under the action of the working piston. Various oils are used as a liquid.

As a rule, in modern industrial hydraulic presses the location of the working chamber is usually vertical, but it can also be horizontal. Taking into account its purpose and the type of materials being processed, this device develops forces from tens to thousands of tons of pressure. The press is often used in metalworking for forging, stamping, bending and straightening, extrusion of pipes and profiles, as well as in packaging, briquetting, pressing various materials, manufacturing wood-shaving, plastic, rubber products and in many other areas of activity.

Why is a press necessary in a home workshop?

At home, a low-power hydraulic press can be an indispensable tool during car repairs and other types of work. To press out a silent block or bearing and press a new one in its place, you do not need to seek help from a car service and pay a lot of money. With the help of a press, you can do straightening with your own hands, bend a metal blank, firmly glue two parts together under pressure, compress cans, plastic bottles, cardboard or paper, squeeze out moisture or oil.

The acquisition of a factory-made press will cost a considerable amount. But this tool can be made by hand, spending only on the required materials. Moreover, it is possible to make a device adapted and adapted to specific needs, taking into account the necessary tasks. Since a homemade hydraulic press will need a certain place in any case, in the absence of a workshop it can be installed in the garage.

Hydraulic press: drawings and designs

For home conditions, a press is enough, which creates forces of 15-25 tons or less - it depends on the required tasks. In addition to effort, this device has the following main criteria:

In the working cylinder, as a rule, a manual separate or built-in hydraulic pump is used to create pressure. This will depend on the choice of press assembly equipment. The simplest, easily manufactured version of the press is the design is based on a hydraulic bottle jack where the built-in hand pump is located.

Before you start assembling a hydraulic press with your own hands, you need to decide for what needs it will be used and, of course, what effort it needs. Then you need to choose and buy the necessary jack, in case it is used in the manufacture of the press.

The next, most important stage is the creation of a drawing of the assembled press. All drawings offered on the Internet for the manufacture of a hydraulic press are developed and made on the basis of hydraulic equipment and metal materials already available. Therefore, if you strictly follow other people's schemes, then making a press with your own hands can take forever and will consist in fitting and altering the scheme taken as the basis for the purchased hydraulic jack.

When making a drawing, you first need to choose a scheme for the operation of the equipment:

the jack is fixed on top of the frame and presses down;
the jack is located on the base of the bed and presses upward.

And do not forget that for manufactured jacks, the normal working position, which is provided by the factory, is vertical, with the output rod up. You can not turn the jack!

Most often, the second option is chosen. The first one is more convenient for certain types of work, for example, for pressing bearings out of some parts, bushings.

Press drawing design

Then they design a frame - a frame, where inside the jack will put pressure on the products. The frame must be strong and imply the force that the jack develops, with a margin, because the the press will start pressing up and down at the same time trying to break the frame. The base of the frame must provide sufficient stability to the press and, best of all, be in the form of a platform. The width of the opening of the frame will depend on the dimensions intended for pressing materials, but it must be no less than the sum of the widths of the elements of the press equipment.

The height is summed up from the dimensions of the jack, the required free movement of its rod, the height of the parts intended for pressing and the thickness of the mobile desktop. In the scheme of the second work, the jack is attached to the base, and the top of the frame serves as an emphasis for the products. The pressure from the rod is transferred to the workpiece by means of a movable worktable. It is installed on top of the jack on the bed, along which it must move freely up and down held by the guides on the sides.

Springs are fixed on both sides of the jack: with one eyelet to the base of the frame, and the second - to the movable table. Their purpose is to compress the jack to its original state, when the rod does not protrude (the size and stiffness of the springs are selected accordingly). You can also make an option when a mandrel-shaped device is put on the rod, where one eye is attached, and the other is attached to the base.

The first scheme of operation of the press implies that the base of the frame will be the emphasis for the products, and the jack is attached to a movable table suspended from the top of the bed on springs. Under the base of the jack rod in two schemes, a nest is made on the interface node. It can be a small piece of pipe of the appropriate diameter.

To regulate the free movement of the jack rod and, of course, the height of the workpieces, the following solutions are possible:

provide for the installation of replaceable inserts-linings from a hollow or solid metal profile;
make a removable stop in the form of a movable desktop, which can be fixed on the bed with bars or nuts and bolts. For this make holes in the frame with a distance in height less than the movement of the jack rod;
a screw drive with a steering wheel is installed on top of the frame. By tightening the screw with the plate at the end, you can reduce the clearance for products inside the frame;
combined use of the above options.

All dimensions in the project must be indicated taking into account the dimensions of the objects of pressing, the jack, as well as the dimensions of the intended rolled metal for use during the manufacture of the press with your own hands.

Press assembly tools and materials

You will need these tools:

angle grinder or hacksaw;
electrodes;
welding machine.

In the role of a power device - an acquired hydraulic press. Door springs from the front seats of the car or other suitable ones. When the jack is in the lower position, the bridge fungus can be selected as an element of the retracting device. It is put on the rod, the springs are fixed to it and the base of the bed.

Details that may be required:

a piece of metal sheet from 8 millimeters - if flooring is needed on the base or other parts of the structure to level the surface;
channel more than No. 8, square or rectangular profile pipe from 35x35 mm, corner from 45x45 mm - for the frame, its base, mobile desktop, removable stop;
a piece of pipe for the stem head (of the appropriate section, approximately 1 cm long);
metal strip 1 cm - for stiffeners that guide the frame (if necessary).

How to assemble a hydraulic press with your own hands?

After designing the drawing and preparing all the required components, materials and tools, it becomes clear how to make a hydraulic press. Whole first metal cut to size described in the drawing. Make all the necessary holes, if they are provided for by the project, on the specified parts.

After that, a frame is welded from segments of a square profile pipe, the seams on the joints are boiled from below and from above. From above, by welding, a metal plate of the required size is fixed. Also, with the help of a welding unit, they make a U-shaped structure with clearly right angles, it is securely attached to the base and the frame is ready.

Assemble a mobile work table. For what you can choose pipe or channel, cut to a size smaller than the intermediate distance of the frame posts. A piece of pipe is welded to the channel under the jack rod. In the role of table guides, parts of the strip with a length equal to the width of the frame are usually chosen. Having led the channel between the racks of the frame, strips are installed on the side and the entire structure is fastened with nuts and bolts. A removable adjustable stop is also assembled, but holes are made in the strips opposite the racks for mounting at the required height.

After, in the places provided, the springs are attached in a convenient way. Pulling the mobile desktop, they fix the jack - a do-it-yourself hydraulic press is ready. If it is not needed, then the jack can be easily removed and used for its intended purpose.

To perform work requiring the use of the pressing method, you will need a hydraulic press. For this, it is important for motorists to know how to make a garage press with their own hands. The best option is a pressure of 10-25 tons.

This value is sufficient to perform the main types of work. A hydraulic press is needed to work with bushings, crankshaft, sheet metal, fittings. We will analyze the principles of operation and options for using a garage press, and also learn how to make it yourself.

Garage press drawing.

A hydraulic press generates a force from several tens to several thousand tons, depending on the design and purpose. The use of such equipment is practical both in private garages and small workshops, and on an industrial scale.

The main functions of the press:

metalworking;
pressing;
briquetting;
production of steel profiles;
pipe processing;
production of rubber blanks.

You can get rid of expensive car services and make a garage press yourself. To do this, you will have to invest in component materials and arm yourself with knowledge. A hydraulic jack is taken as the basis, it is the main element of the device. Sometimes a screw or pneumatic hydraulic jack is used.

The physical principles of the device are based on Pascal's law. The press consists of two main cylinders and chambers. In a smaller container, the pressure of the liquid increases and it is transferred to a working container with a larger size.

Options for using a homemade press

A small press with a pressure force of 10-20 tons will greatly facilitate work in a garage or workshop. The range of application of such a device is wide and varied. The press is also used in repairs - for working with bushings, crankshafts, and in everyday life - pressing cylinders, metal debris.

Performing construction work with a press, you can bend reinforcement or bend metal sheets.

The amount of work that the press can perform depends on the power of the effort. To perform standard work, the average car owner will not have enough power of 5 tons, and it is not advisable to use more than 100 tons. The best option is a force of 10-20 tons.

The main advantage of a homemade press is that it is created for personal needs and when it is created, it is possible to independently control all processes.

Design features of a homemade press

Drawing and dimensions of the press for the garage.

As mentioned above, a press with a capacity of 10-20 tons will be enough, but the rest should be based on your needs.

The main and main element of a homemade garage press is a hydraulic jack. You can independently make a built-in pump with hydraulic cylinders. They will work on the principle of transferring oil pressure from a smaller chamber to a larger one.

Two cylinders are interconnected by channels through which special oil passes and presses on the piston. Thus, the force is transferred to the tool and the workpiece. The installation of the cylinder is carried out vertically, but for narrowly focused purposes it can be performed horizontally.

A pump pressurizes the larger cylinder. The lightest press based on a bottle jack. It is important to think in advance what work will be performed using the press.

You can adjust the stroke of the jacking rod and the height of the parts to be pressed.

There are several ways to do this:

installation at the top of the screw drive frame;
creation of a removable movable mobile table;
use of removable linings;
applying the above methods together.

All listed dimensions are entered in the drawing. It is important to consider the size of the jack, workpieces and rolled metal.

Press project preparation

Before assembling the device of the garage fixture, it is necessary to select the correct drawing, but it is better to make it yourself so that the future tool meets all the requirements. The most important structural element of a hydraulic press is the frame.

This is a frame along the rails of which a horizontal beam moves. The bed must be strong enough to withstand the forces of the jack, and also have a margin of safety.

If the calculation is incorrect, the design of the press may not withstand the load.

Garage press project.

The base is best done in the form of a platform. The width of the platform opening depends on the size of the materials to be processed further.

To calculate the width and height of the opening, add the following parameters:

thickness of the movable table and platform;
jack size;
stroke value;
workpiece dimensions.

width 800 mm;
height 1780 mm.

Important elements of the drawing are racks, stops, legs, spacer angles and spring locations. The design is supplemented with some elements to ensure the stroke of the stop.

What is the press made of?

A homemade press for a garage must be made reliable and with a good margin of safety, since all nodes are subjected to serious pressure and stress. Where to begin?

The process is divided into several stages:

First of all, a frame and a platform are created.
For this, channels with numerous stiffeners are used. A rectangular metal pipe is used as a blank. From this pipe, 4 pieces are cut according to the dimensions of the drawing and welded into one element. The rigidity of the mechanism increases if the seams go on the sides. From the same pipes make vertical racks and emphasis.
The frame consists of a platform, two racks and a bottom stop.
The main functions of the frame are: taking on the force, distributing it and ensuring the stability of the structure. The platform is supplemented with a latch made of a pipe 15-20 mm long.
To ensure the movement of the press and create force on the product, a removable stop is made.
The knot is made using steel strips, which should be slightly shorter than the distance between the posts. The thickness of the strips is 10-15 mm. The strips are fixed with holes.
At the final stage, the hydraulic bottle jack is placed in the frame.
During installation, the stops are pulled and fixed. Fastening is carried out by bolts or welding.

Press assembly tools

In the manufacture of fixtures, various tools are used that are in every garage. The first thing you need is a hydraulic bottle jack. To prevent the unit from falling apart under high pressure, you need a reliable foundation.

To assemble the garage press, you will need the following tools:

welding machine and electrodes;
grinder with a disk for metal;
screwdriver;
electric drill;
level;
roulette;
Sheet steel;
hacksaw for metal;
electrodes;
profile corner.
