TF-2000 Ski and Snowboard Press

TF-2000 Ski and Snowboard Press

The TF-2000 is our entry level heated ski and snowboard laminating press.

It is suitable for both the medium volume production user and advanced hobby/enthusiast DIY ski and snowboard builders. The TF-2000 is a heated press design based on our more advanced press designs, but featuring a smaller lighter frame and slightly lower power heating for use in smaller locations where higher amperage power may not be available.

The daily capacity is dependent on the operating temperature, and and cure time of the resin system used. Typically this is approximately 2 boards per hour or 2  pair of skis per hour (assuming a 2 at a time ski press design, we also make single ski presses).  Press efficiency especially when laying skis can be increased with 2 people, as it takes longer for an operator to lay up 2 skis than 1 snowboard.

This machine features our unique triple "Tube Frame" design (hence the name TF) that enables us to build a stiff but relatively small and lightweight frame so the press can be used in small workshops and workspaces. The TF-2000 can even be used in your basement or garage provided you have adequate electricity (see specs below).

The TF-2000 ski and snowboard press features an all pneumatic "air bladder/caterpillar track" top form assembly for unlimited ski or board thickness profiles, adjustable length, various camber and rocker profiles and more (1 rocker/camber profile included, others can be ordered).
