Presses

For primary water removal before your product enters the dryer section, Horne Machine Co. offers a variety of press arraignments to meet your needs. Using a Horne press, moisture can be squeezed out to increase dryness by up to 3% - 10%; depending on arraignment. We can design your press to be either pneumatic or hydraulically loaded and accept either seamless or pinned type felts.
