Guide to Membrane Presses
from Black Bros. If you're looking
to purchase a Membrane Press, (or vacuum press) the process can
be a bit overwhelming! NEW Membrane presses typically start at $150,000
and can go up to as much as $400,000 depending on the features.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the difference between a
membrane press and a
vacuum press as you try to make your
decision. But for now, we've tried to provide a few steps that we think
you'll appreciate.

Steps to buying
a membrane press |
|
1. Know what PRESS you
need |
-
 How
many pieces do you
laminate per day? (cabinet doors, furniture, store fixtures)
- The right press for you depends a
lot on two variables:
1. your volume
2. the definition required for your laminated pieces.
- Many small businesses are
surprised to discover that a vacuum press is sufficient for thier
needs!
- Do you already have a laminating
press?
- Do you need a new press or will an
upgrade be sufficient?
- Black Bros. offers several upgrades that
will retrofit onto other presses and increase your
production!

2. Don't compromise on
quality or service |

the industry. We
can refer you to several clients who gladly recommend the Black Bros.
