The Difference of Multi-Opening Hot Press And Continuous Press
Now for Particle board /OSB /MDF /HDF board production, in the market, there are Two popular Hot press types, one is Multi-daylights hot press, another one is Continuous Press.
So How to choose the Hot press? which type is better and more suitable?
Now let us see their difference between Multi-opening hot press and Continuous press
Multi-opening Hot press
Continuous Press
Core principle comparison

Product spec
Advantage of Multi-opening hot press
Advantage of Continuous press
More thicker panel (>40mm)
More mature (Distance between plates can be designed)
Be customized
Special OSB
Flexible change mould
Homogeneous panel
Small capacity different types
Fast change capacity (1-2h)
Higher loss
Therefore we can see and get result that
✔️ small and medium-sized production capacity; multi-variety production; budget is limited, you can choose Multi-opening hot press
✔️ large-scale single category; high precision requirements; long-term cost reduction needs, you can choose Continuous press
