Heat Press Machines For Sale

Dental heat press machines

A dental heat press machine is modern equipment for hot-pressed injection molding which replaced the obsolete technology of manufacturing prostheses both from “hot” or “cold” plastic.

Though dental labs have started to use this kind of machines relatively recently, they have gained popularity among dental technicians at once. Heat press machines allow producing high-quality barely noticeable clamps for removable prostheses from basic polymers using no monomers.

Modern dental lab equipment for hot-pressed injection molding allows making both partially removable elastic clasps and complete acrylic dentures with a rigid base. Besides, the equipment is utilized for gum guards, bridges, clasp frames, and solid bridges production.

How a heat press machine works

The machine consists of a pressing unit, heating device, working piston and cuvette, into which a polymer dental blank is pressed. It is worth noting that heat press machines are not versatile but work only with a specific type of plastic. To make a finished product meet the generally accepted quality standards, it is necessary to use the material recommended by the equipment manufacturer.

There are two types of construction:

• vertical;

• horizontal.

Vertical equipment is more compact, more convenient to operate, and occupies little space.

The necessary pressure is created by an electromechanical or pneumatic drive. Mechanical devices are cheaper to maintain. Pneumatic ones provide more power but are more expensive. A separate compressor is needed to provide sufficient pressure in the system.

When choosing a dental heat dental press, pay attention to the maximum plastic melting temperature. The device equipped with a heating unit capable of providing a constant temperature of 380o C can be considered “versatile”.

Make sure you pay attention to the way the pressing process takes place. If the aluminum cartridge crumples during the process, you will have to regularly clean the cylinder from metal residue. If the cartridge does not crumple while the machine is working, the cylinder wear rate is significantly lower.

An automatic pressing process is an important feature as well.
