MI-HP & MI-THP Series · Single & Double Station · 37T to 600T · Pillar, Frame & Window types · Precision-ground platens · PLC & HMI automation · GIDC Umbergaon, Gujarat.
A hydraulic press machine is an industrial machine that applies controlled hydraulic pressure to rubber or polymer compounds in a mould, compressing them at precisely controlled temperature and pressure for a defined cure time. The combination of heat and pressure causes the rubber compound to vulcanise — transforming it from a soft, unformed compound into a finished, dimensionally stable rubber product.
Modern Industries manufactures two hydraulic press series under the MODERN brand:
Both series are available in 13 standard models (platen 300×300 mm to 1200×1200 mm) with three structural configurations — Pillar Type, Frame Type, and Window Type — and three heating options: Electric, Steam, and Thermic Oil.

Every Modern Industries hydraulic press features a high-efficiency power pack designed for two distinct speed phases
A hydraulic press machine is an industrial machine that applies controlled hydraulic pressure to rubber or polymer compounds in a mould.
Compressing them at precisely controlled temperature and pressure for a defined cure time.
The combination of heat and pressure causes the rubber compound to vulcanise — transforming it from a soft, unformed compound into a finished, dimensionally stable rubber product.
The integrated PLC allows for multiple programmable degassing strokes — brief pressure releases during the cure cycle that allow trapped air to escape from the compound before final cure.
Use this quick reference to match your product type to the right press tonnage. Final selection should be confirmed with our engineering team against your mould dimensions and compound specification.
| Product / Application | Typical Tonnage | Recommended Model |
|---|---|---|
| Lab samples / small test moulding | 37 – 65 T | MI-HP-12 / MI-HP-14 |
| Small rubber seals, O-rings, gaskets | 65 – 150 T | MI-HP-14 / MI-HP-18 |
| Footwear soles (slipper, sandal) | 100 – 200 T | MI-HP-16 / MI-HP-20 |
| Automotive seals, rubber components | 150 – 300 T | MI-HP-18 / MI-HP-28 |
| Industrial rubber mats (medium format) | 250 – 400 T | MI-HP-24 / MI-HP-32 |
| Safety footwear, thick rubber products | 300 – 500 T | MI-HP-28 / MI-HP-36 |
| Large rubber mats, industrial mouldings | 500 – 600 T | MI-HP-36 / MI-HP-40 |
| Conveyor belt, solid tyres, large format | 500 – 600 T | MI-HP-40 / MI-HP-48 |
The most widely used hydraulic press configuration for rubber moulding. Four heavy-duty steel pillars guide the moving platen with precision, ensuring parallel closure across the full platen face. High rigidity, excellent force distribution, and easy mould access from front and sides. Standard on all 13 MI-HP and MI-THP models.
A rigid steel frame construction (C-frame or H-frame) provides enhanced structural integrity for high-tonnage applications. The enclosed frame design reduces deflection under load, making it suitable for moulding products with tight dimensional tolerances — automotive rubber seals, gaskets, and precision industrial components.
The window type press allows access from all four sides — ideal for large mould changes and for inserting and removing fabric or metal inserts before moulding. Commonly used in conveyor belt manufacturing, solid tyre production, and large industrial rubber component moulding.
High-efficiency two-speed power pack — rapid closing + slow pressing eliminates air entrapment, prevents moulding defects without slowing cycle time.
Precision-ground platens — high-grade steel ground to fine tolerances. Uniform heat transfer across the full platen surface. Zero hot spots, zero flash.
Programmable degassing strokes via PLC — critical for high-density rubber products. Multiple degassing cycles per cure programmed into the HMI recipe.
Fully Automatic IN–OUT mould handling — reduces inter-cycle time and operator exposure to hot moulds.
Three structural types (Pillar, Frame, Window) and three heating options (Electric, Steam, Thermic Oil) — one supplier covers every configuration requirement.
Complete safety package — laser curtains, emergency stops, hydraulic interlocks — meets industrial safety standards for 3-shift production.

What is a hydraulic press machine used for in rubber manufacturing?
A hydraulic press machine applies controlled pressure and heat to rubber compound in a mould, vulcanising it into a finished rubber product. Common applications include automotive seals, footwear soles, industrial rubber mats, gaskets, O-rings, conveyor belt sections, and solid tyres. The MI-HP and MI-THP series from Modern Industries cover the full application range from 37T to 600T.
What is the price of a hydraulic press machine in India?
A hydraulic press machine applies controlled pressure and heat to rubber compound in a mould, vulcanising it into a finished rubber product. Common applications include automotive seals, footwear soles, industrial rubber mats, gaskets, O-rings, conveyor belt sections, and solid tyres. The MI-HP and MI-THP series from Modern Industries cover the full application range from 37T to 600T.
What is the difference between a single station and double station hydraulic press?
A single station press (MI-HP series) has one heating station — the mould is loaded, pressed, and unloaded from a single position. A double station press (MI-THP series) has two heating stations — while one station is in the press cycle, the second station can be loading/unloading a mould. This reduces inter-cycle dead time on high-volume production lines and increases overall output.
What is a degassing stroke in hydraulic press moulding?
A degassing stroke is a brief pressure release during the cure cycle — the press opens slightly, then re-closes. This allows trapped air and volatile gases to escape from the rubber compound. The integrated PLC on Modern Industries presses allows multiple programmable degassing strokes per cure cycle. This is critical for thick-section and high-density rubber products where air entrapment causes voids, blisters, or dimensional defects.
What heating options are available on Modern Industries hydraulic presses?
Modern Industries hydraulic presses are available with three heating options: Electric (standard — cartridge heaters embedded in platen, accurate temperature control), Steam (for high-volume production environments with existing steam supply), and Thermic Oil (for large platens and thick rubber products requiring uniform temperature across a wide surface area). All three options use precisely ground high-grade steel platens.
What press types (configurations) are available?
Modern Industries hydraulic presses are available in three structural configurations: Pillar Type (standard — four-pillar guided platen, suitable for most rubber moulding applications), Frame Type (C-frame or H-frame for high-tonnage, tight-tolerance moulding of automotive and industrial components), and Window Type (four-side access for large mould changes and insert moulding — conveyor belt, solid tyre applications).
What is the working pressure of Modern Industries hydraulic presses?
Working pressure is standardised at 210 Kg/cm² across all MI-HP and MI-THP series models. This ensures consistent hydraulic performance and simplifies hydraulic system maintenance. The standard daylight gap is 300 mm (customisable) and the standard ram stroke is 400 mm (150 mm on the smallest MI-HP-12 model).
What safety features are standard on Modern Industries hydraulic presses?
All Modern Industries hydraulic presses include: laser curtains (area sensing stops press if operator enters the working zone), emergency stop buttons at multiple positions, hydraulic safety interlocks (prevents press closure unless safety conditions are met), pressure relief valves, and mould-in protection. These comply with standard industrial press safety requirements for 3-shift operations.
What is the delivery time for a hydraulic press machine?
Standard MI-HP and MI-THP models (MI-HP-12 to MI-HP-28) typically ship within 8–12 weeks from order confirmation and advance payment. Larger models (MI-HP-30 to MI-HP-48) and custom configurations require 12–16 weeks. Export orders include additional time for documentation, seaworthy packing, and freight. Timelines are confirmed in writing at order acceptance.
Do you export hydraulic press machines from India?
Yes. Modern Industries exports MI-HP and MI-THP hydraulic presses to 19+ countries including UAE, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Sri Lanka. Full export documentation, seaworthy wooden crating, and shipment via Hazira, JNPT, or Mundra ports are handled by our team. CIF and FOB terms available.
