Membrane Press Cover and Sealing: The Detail That Determines Efficiency

The membrane press cover is the component that ensures the vacuum and sealing of the pressing area. When the gasket surface deteriorates, vacuum escapes; this shows up in the pressing as edge lifting, bubbles, and loss of efficiency.

Why is sealing critical?

Vacuum is essential for the membrane to wrap the part completely. A leaking cover lowers pressing quality and leads to energy loss, no matter how good a pin/plate you use.

Signs of deterioration

• Difficulty reaching the target vacuum value
• Wear, crushing, or hardening on the gasket surface
• Recurring edge lifting / bubbles

Solution

We manufacture worn covers from durable material compatible with the original, restoring the gasket surface and sealing. We produce covers for Bürkle, Wemhöner, and Orma presses.
