Australian premium brake pressing
RPG Australia has a portfolio of brake pressing machines ranging from 400 tonne to 2700 tonne. Our state-of-the-art pressing machines enable us to confidently work with BIS 80, 400, 450 and 500; Xlerplate 250 and 350 grade; Strenx 700, Hardox 450 and 500, and also all grades of aluminium and stainless steel.
We can press both mild and quenched & tempered steel plate to form special section requirements, enabling clients to customise designs that fit with contemporary industrial architecture.
We have the capacity to press materials up to 12.2 metres in length, with knife blade and radius tooling to cover almost any requirement.
Heavy-duty bending, 2000T force
RPG Australia’s strategic investment in a 2000-tonne LVD press reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the market. Over the years, we’ve seen mining bucket floors increase in thickness — from 25mm to now 50mm in 450 Grade Quench and Tempered Plate.
This evolution requires enormous pressing capacity and higher tonnage per lineal metre, making the 1,250 tonnes of force per metre a critical capability.
Delivering precise bends
Our latest addition, the LVD 2,000-tonne, 6,650mm brake press, offers a pressing capacity of 1,250 tonnes per metre — the highest per-metre tonnage LVD has ever manufactured. Simply put, while the press has a total capacity of 2,000 tonnes, it can apply this full force over 1.6 metres. The machine’s 1,200mm-wide table supports larger female bending dies, reducing the tonnage required per metre while enabling precise, heavy-duty bending.
To further support increasing design demands, we’ve also invested in a fully adjustable bottom die, capable of expanding from 180mm to 840mm in a short time. This provides us with the flexibility to quickly adapt and respond to our customers’
requirements.
