Overview
The press is the third stage of the production line. It joins the formed steel edge to the prepared plywood panel under controlled hydraulic pressure. The GA 2.5 m build is quoted at a 30 t nominal press force, 3 kW and 1.5 t machine weight; the company brochure states the series is built from 40 to 100 tons with custom platen sizes.
Key advantages
Large pressing area
Uniform force improves panel consistency.
Line integration
Signal interfaces support coordinated production.
Safety systems
Light curtains, emergency stops and overload protection.
Custom configuration
Press size adapts to box dimensions and accuracy needs.

Guides that answer what this page cannot
Each of these was written for a question that arrives before a specification does. The articles are ordered by how specifically they address this machine, then by date.
Double hole steel strip machine or single strip: what the second row changes
Buyers use one phrase for two machines, then compare quotations that were never for the same thing. What a double hole steel strip machine is, what it is not, and when the second row is worth paying for.
Galvanized steel profiles for plywood boxes: what the coating changes
The steel edge on a plywood box is usually discussed as a single material. Coating is a separate decision from gauge, and it is the one that decides what the edge looks like after six weeks at sea.
Steel strap box or steel edge box: two ways to hold a plywood box closed
One is a closure applied after the box is built. The other is part of the box. Confusing them changes what you have to buy, and it changes where the box fails.
Stacking strength: how much vertical load a plywood crate really carries
Stacking strength is a time-dependent number, not a single figure. The load a plywood crate carries in a warehouse test and the load it carries across a six-week voyage are separated by creep, moisture and the joint.
Equipment questions
We do not publish prices, because the configuration changes with your box sizes, panel thickness and destination. The line is supplied as three matched machines — the DA-8000 buckle machine, the GA-8000 steel-edge forming machine and the Steel-Edge Hydraulic Press — and every figure in a quotation is listed line by line. Send your box sizes and target output and you will get a written quotation against them.
A manufacturer. The company is Zhucheng Zhiwei Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd. of Zhucheng, Shandong, China, founded in March 2023, operating a 5,000 m2 production base, holding more than 30 technical patents and CE / ISO certified for its systems.
Yes. Each of the three core machines is quoted with its own technical specification sheet, so you can buy only the production stage you are missing.
Yes. The dies, the press working width and the platen size are matched to your box dimensions, and the recommended floor space for each machine is set out before shipment.
Three things: the box sizes you build, the plywood thickness you use, and the production stages you need. Add your target output and the destination port if you have them, and we will come back with the machine configuration and a line-by-line quotation.
Both. The line is supplied as three matched machines — DA-8000 buckle machine, GA-8000 steel-edge forming machine and Steel-Edge Hydraulic Press — and each machine also carries its own technical specification sheet if you only need one stage.
Under normal operating conditions, electrical control components are covered for 3 years.
The DA-8000 nailless plywood box buckle machine is specified for plywood from 5 mm to 12 mm. Tell us the panel thickness and box sizes you build so we can confirm the configuration.
The DA-8000 fastens at 30 to 60 fasteners per minute. Achievable line output depends on box size, panel handling and how many operators you run — send us your box dimensions and target output and we will set out what the configuration can achieve.
Recommended floor space is 3 × 3 m for the DA-8000, 5 × 2 m for the GA-8000 and 3 × 3 m for the quoted 2.5 m press configuration. Machine dimensions for every unit are listed in its specification table.
Rated power is 6 kW for the DA-8000 and the GA-8000. The GA 2.5 m press build is quoted at 3 kW; the brochure states the press series at 12–15 kW. Voltage and phase are confirmed against your site before order.
Send us the box you need to build
Box sizes, panel thickness and the production stages you need are enough for us to come back with a configuration and a written quotation.
