The present invention is directed to a door facing blank having a first major surface with a design element formed therein, and an opposite second major surface. At least three longitudinally extending spaced stile receiving areas are disposed on the second major surface. Two of the stile receiving areas define a first width, and three of the stile receiving areas define a second width greater than the first width. The door facing blank may be trimmed to form a door facing having a selected width. A method of forming a door facing blank, and a mold press for forming a door facing blank are also disclosed.

A compacting system compacts particulate matter in open-top railroad gondola cars rolling on rails. The compacting system comprises a compacting station adjacent the rails and a scanning system that scans the gondola cars as they move along the rails toward the compacting station. The scanning system transmits data of the gondola car to an electronic control system. The compacting station has at least one compaction member, e.g., a plate structure or a roller, configured to contact an upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola cars. The electronic control system controls the compacting station so that the compaction member engages with and applies force to the upper surface of the particulate matter in the gondola car so as to compress the particulate matter in the gondola. A method for compacting particulate matter in a gondola car is also shown.

A press tool for a press assembly includes an additive manufactured body including a plurality of stacked layers of additive manufacturable material extending between an interior side and an exterior side. The interior side has a part forming surface including a surface profile for forming a part. The exterior side has a plurality of hollow cores defined by longitudinal walls and lateral walls meeting at joints. Press inserts are coupled to the longitudinal walls and the lateral walls at the exterior side. The press inserts are configured to be pressed inward by a pressing load during a pressing operation for forming the part. The press inserts distribute the pressing load along the longitudinal and lateral walls.

The present disclosure discloses a hydraulic machine including a support assembly and a main cylinder device connected with the support assembly. The main cylinder device includes at least two main cylinder assemblies and at least two piston rods respectively. The at least two piston rods are opposite to each other and move along opposite directions and on the same straight line. A support worktable device is disposed on the support assembly and spaced with the main cylinder device. At least two pressing mechanisms are formed between the support worktable device and the at least two main cylinder assemblies or between the support worktable device and the at least two piston rods. The at least two pressing mechanisms are configured for pressing work pieces simultaneously.

The invention relates to a press device (100) for a powder press (1) for producing pellets from a compressible material, wherein the powder press (1) comprises a press frame (2) that has an upper and a lower frame portion, an upper and/or lower punch arrangement (3) which each comprise a tool, and a die arrangement (4), which define a mold cavity into which the compressible material is introducible, and a drive unit (5) that is operatively connected to the punch arrangement (3) and/or the die arrangement (4), wherein, in order to form the pellet, the upper and/or lower punch arrangement (3) and the die arrangement (4) are movable relative to one another along a pressing axis (6) by means of the drive unit (5) and are able to be pressed against one another. The press device (100) has multiple tool planes (10) that are arranged above one another, which each comprise a carrying element (12) and a push-in element (50) that is able to be received on the carrying element (12) and arrested, on which at least one of the tools is receivable.

The present invention provides a laminator capable of improving evenness of a pressing force applied from pressure-bonding rolls to a substrate and a film. The laminator includes a first pressure-bonding roll, and a second pressure-bonding roll disposed above the first pressure-bonding roll and configured to be displaceable in a direction toward (a first direction) and a direction away from (a second direction) the first pressure-bonding roll. The laminator further includes a support roll configured to support the first pressure-bonding roll below the first pressure-bonding roll, and a pressure application roll disposed above the second pressure-bonding roll. The pressure application roll is configured to be displaceable in the first direction and the second direction, and is also configured to press the second pressure-bonding roll toward one side where the first pressure-bonding roll is located by being displaced in the first direction. The laminator further includes a driving mechanism configured to displace the pressure application roll in the first direction and the second direction.

The invention is a heating panel (10) for treating wood material (22), comprising two boundary members (12) arranged parallel to each other, and a heating wire (14) arranged between the boundary members (12).

The heating panel (10) is characterised in that the heating panel (10) further comprises a solidified wood treatment composition (16) arranged between the boundary members (12) and surrounding the heating wire (14), and the boundary members (12) are configured to allow the solidified wood treatment composition (16) to contact the wood material (22) to be treated.

The invention is furthermore a treatment apparatus (20), and a method for treating wood material (22).

The present disclosure discloses a hydraulic machine including a support assembly and a main cylinder device connected with the support assembly. The main cylinder device includes at least two main cylinder assemblies and at least two piston rods respectively. The at least two piston rods are opposite to each other and move along opposite directions and on the same straight line. A support worktable device is disposed on the support assembly and spaced with the main cylinder device. At least two pressing mechanisms are formed between the support worktable device and the at least two main cylinder assemblies or between the support worktable device and the at least two piston rods. The at least two pressing mechanisms are configured for pressing work pieces simultaneously.

A door pressing system for pressing interior passage doors, exterior entry doors, bi-fold doors, and/or closet doors features a multi-door pressing station including first and second presses, a loading device, and a discharging device. The pressing station is configured to alternatively move the first and second presses into operative alignment with the loading and discharging devices. The press in operative alignment delivers a pressed assembled door to the discharging device and receives an assembled door layup to be pressed from the loading device. The other press that is out of operatively alignment presses an assembled door received therein. Additional methods and systems are also provided.
