How to choose a membrane for a WILKING vacuum press
WILKING presses are most often used for classic vacuum processes such as veneering, plywood pressing, and laminating. Therefore, membrane selection should be based on the technology rather than the press brand itself.
- For veneering and plywood pressing — rubber membranes with high elasticity and tear strength.
- For laminating and higher temperature processes — silicone membranes resistant to thermal cycles.
- By size — the membrane should always be slightly larger than the working area for easier replacement.
Which membranes are used in WILKING presses
Rubber membranes
The most common option for WILKING vacuum presses. Rubber membranes provide soft and uniform pressure, work well in standard temperature ranges, and are optimal for serial veneering of furniture components.
Silicone membranes
Used when the technology requires increased heat resistance and stable properties during repeated heating cycles. Silicone is suitable for film laminating and more universal applications where rubber membranes lose service life faster.
Membrane sizes for WILKING vacuum presses
The membrane size for a WILKING vacuum press is selected individually and depends on the press design, clamping system, and type of operation. In practice, the membrane always includes an allowance around the perimeter relative to the working field.
We supply membranes:
- in standard sizes for WILKING vacuum presses;
- custom-made to customer dimensions — for a specific press model and configuration.
Why the membrane is critical for stable WILKING operation
Even a fully functional WILKING vacuum press cannot deliver stable results with a worn membrane. The membrane directly affects surface quality, shape accuracy, and overall production yield.
- uniform pressure distribution;
- quality of veneering and laminating;
- reduction of scrap rate;
- stability of serial production.
