A Digital Press rebuild restores the strength of your existing machine while upgrading the hydraulics, controls, and critical components that determine optimum performance. The result is a more reliable, precise, and operator-friendly press—without the cost and lead time of purchasing new equipment.

Included in a Powder Compacting Press Rebuild

  • New Hydraulics: The only hydraulics saved are the cylinders and the main valves, all other hydraulics are removed.
  • New Electronics: We add the latest high-speed PLC.
  • CNC Closed-Loop on Lower Ram and Feeder (stop valves are removed): Proportional valves are added to better control weight. The use of the prop valve is to eliminate having to use a stop valve.
  • Linear Encoder on Upper Ram with Open-Loop Control: A linear encoder is added for programming the upper ram motions. This eliminates the upper ram cam rail. This helps with a more accurate part height.
  • New Feeder Cylinder: Closed-loop control with speed control. Better repeatability for more consistent fills.
  • New load-sensing Variable Displacement Pump(s): For upper & lower ram speed control.
  • New Motor: The old worn out motor is replaced with a new one.
  • External Oil Cooler: Added for easier maintenance and convenient access.
  • Touchscreen: Allows for quick, simple pre-programming of press controls.
  • Refurbished Die Plates: Die plates are resurfaced to restore parallelism. Guide pins and bushings are replaced.
  • Refurbished Upper and Lower Main Cylinders: Inspected and repaired as needed.
We specialize in rebuilding Bussmann, Mannesmann, Alpha, and, of course, Powder-Mate presses. If your machine is falling short of expectations and is not on this list, contact us with its manufacturer, the issues you are experiencing, and your performance goals. We would be happy to review your needs and work with you to determine the most practical solution.

Benefits of Rebuilding a Bussmann/Mannesmann/Alpha Powder Compacting Press Include:

  • Rebuilt presses are better than they were originally.
  • The accuracy and operations of the press are better than when it was brand new.
  • Powder Compacting Presses can be rebuilt to today’s standard for about half the cost of a new machine.

While we are confident of the innovative capabilities and performance of our entire line of new hydraulic powder compacting presses, however, we understand that an investment in a new machine is not always possible or timely. If you have a Bussmann, Mannesmann or Alpha press and are looking to extend its use, Contact Us today for a free consultation.
