A plant press is a set of equipment used by botanists to flatten and dry field samples so that they can be easily stored. A professional plant press is made to the standard maximum size for biological specimens to be filed in a particular herbarium .
The Wyman-Gordon 50,000-ton forging press. The Heavy Press Program was a Cold War-era program of the United States Air Force to build the largest forging presses and extrusion presses in the world. These machines greatly enhanced the US defense industry's capacity to forge large complex components out of light alloys, such as magnesium and ...
Alcoa ran the plant from the time of its construction, and purchased it outright in 1982. In 2008, cracks were discovered in the press, which had to be shut down for safety reasons. [3] Repairs, originally estimated at a cost of $68 million (equivalent to $96.57 million in 2023), cost a total of $100 million, and were completed in early 2012. [4]

In the mid 1970s, Minister opened a 75,000 square foot facility, just north of Minster's main plant. Growth continued into the 1980s, and Minster opened a 40,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Beaufort, South Carolina for the production of material handling equipment. Minster also introduced its ultra high speed Pulsar press line in 1980 ...
The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drive to move and compress the seed material. The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow seed fiber solids to pass. Afterward, the seeds are formed into a hardened press cake, which is removed from the machine. Pressure involved in expeller pressing creates heat in the ...
People have used olive presses since Greeks first began pressing olives over 5,000 years ago. [citation needed] Roman olive presses survive to the present time, with a notable collection present at Volubilis in Morocco. [2] An olive press works by applying pressure to olive paste to separate the liquid oil and vegetation water from the solid ...
