Contact heating press with heated platens up to 250°C — max bed size 3m × 2.2m, double decker configuration for double production in the same floor space. For automobile interior parts, thinsulate, felt lamination, curing, and bonding.
The SOKIM contact heating press is the heating stage of the carpet moulding line. A flat carpet or felt sheet enters straight, is heated evenly by direct platen contact, and comes out ready to take the exact shape of the floor mould.
Needle-punched carpet, felt, thinsulate or nonwoven sheet is placed on the heated platen — up to 3m × 2.2m bed size.
Both platens heat the sheet by direct contact for uniform core temperature — no scorching, no cold spots. PLC-controlled time and temperature per recipe.
The softened sheet moves to your forming press, where it takes the full floor-pan shape — tunnel, footwells and all — in one shot.
Two heating levels in one frame heat the next sheet while the first is forming. Double production in the same floor space.
If your plant thermoforms nonwovens for vehicle interiors, this press is the heating stage of your line.
Moulded main floor carpets and trunk carpets — LDPE-backed, thermoplastic felt and needle-punched constructions.
Acoustic insulation packs, hoodliners, dash insulators and wheel-arch liners heated for forming or bonded in-press.
Substrate activation and skin lamination for roof liners and woodstock/PP parcel shelves.
Resin felt curing, adhesive activation and flat lamination of multi-layer NVH packs under controlled pressure and heat.
SOKIM contact heating presses run in production today with leading interior and sealing component manufacturers — in India and abroad.
Multi-daylight heating presses of this class are typically imported from Europe. SOKIM builds the same capability in Chakan, Pune — with local service you can actually reach.
