Used Accudyne 500-Ton Heated Platen Hydraulic Shuttle Press – 36" x 36" Platens, 400°F, Rebuilt 2021

Manufacturer Information
Accudyne
Accudyne industrial press equipment is used in applications requiring controlled hydraulic force, heated platens, and programmable processing cycles. This heavy-duty 500-ton hydraulic press combines heated 36" x 36" platens with a powered shuttle table to support efficient material loading and unloading between press cycles.
Description
Available for sale is a used Accudyne 500-Ton Heated Platen Hydraulic Shuttle Press, Serial Number 21004, rebuilt in 2021.
The press features 36" x 36" heated platens, a 500-ton pressing capacity, an up-acting hydraulic cylinder, and a powered shuttle table. The shuttle configuration allows tooling or workpieces to be moved between the loading position and pressing area, potentially improving operator access and production workflow.
The machine provides a 20" main cylinder stroke and 20" daylight opening, with a stated maximum operating temperature of 400°F. A separate programmable control panel with HMI provides operator interface and process control.
Hydraulic power is supplied by a 20 HP, 1,800 RPM, 3-phase motor. Electrical nameplate information indicates 208V, 60 Hz, 3-phase, 166 total amps, maximum power consumption of 35 kVA, and a 5 kA SCCR.
With an approximate machine weight of 27,000 lb., this is a substantial industrial press requiring appropriate rigging, foundation/floor capacity, electrical service, and freight planning.
