Three Press Mouth Pad Types

PBO-100%
🌡 600°C · Maximum Protection
Composition: PBO + PBO (100% PBO both layers)
Ultimate heat resistance. Both layers are 100% PBO — the highest performance option for the most demanding press mouth conditions.
Pad-PKK
🌡 600°C · High Performance
Composition: PBO + Kevlar
Brown + yellow. PBO outer layer with Kevlar backing — balanced performance combining PBO heat resistance with Kevlar's tensile strength.
Pad-PK
🌡 600°C · Standard
Composition: PBO + Kevlar (PBO outer)
Standard press mouth pad. PBO outer surface with Kevlar support layer. Widely used across aluminium extrusion press lines.

Applications

Where Press Mouth Pads Are Used

🔴

Press Mouth Zone

Directly at the press exit — the hottest and most demanding point on the extrusion line where profiles first emerge.

🛡️

Surface Protection

Prevents die lines, graphite marks and surface damage on aluminium profiles as they exit the press at extreme temperatures.

📐

Custom Press Sizes

Composite thickness options allow precise fit for different press configurations from small to large-tonnage machines.

🏭

All Press Tonnages

Suitable for all sizes of aluminium extrusion presses. Custom widths and lengths available to order.

Key Features

Why Press Mouth Pads Matter

🔥
All Variants at 600°C

Every press mouth pad type is rated for 600°C — no compromise at the hottest zone of your line.

📐
Composite Thickness Options

Choose from 10mm single or 7+3, 6+4, 5+5, 4+6, 3+7 composite builds for precise press mouth clearance.

📏
Lengths up to 20,000mm

Continuous length production minimises joins and ensures consistent protection across the full press mouth width.

🧪
Resin-Hardened Hard Type

Hard type treated with resin for presses requiring a stiffer pad that maintains its shape under compression.
