WIRE WINDING

The main components of high-pressure presses are exposed to extreme forces. AVURE has developed a pre-stressing technology based on a steel wire-winding technique that combines extremely high strength with a light, compact structure. The savings in weight amount to 50 % compared with conventional presses. The QUINTUS ^® frames and pressure vessels are wound with steel wire that is pre-stressed so that only compressive stresses occurs in the components even when they are subjected to maximum loading. As a consequence, the resistance to fatigue is very high and risk of critical crack propagation is eliminated.
