Crocodile Press Type JPR

Wide Belt Press with Vacuum Bars for Joining Operation

The roller press type JPR is designed to press the joints of cloth and paper wide belts. Even though ideal to process wide belts, this machine can also press narrow belts. Joining is made directly on the pressing beam. A vacuum system helps the operator to join the belts. The JPR machine is indicated for converters with medium productions.
