AUTOMATIC MACHINE mod. T160c2/4
Designated for the hot production of disc brake pads, with or without under-layer. The mould can have 2 or 4 cavities: with the 2-cavities configuration, brake pads for commercial vehicles are produced, while the 4-cavities configuration provides high productivity for passenger vehicles brake pads. The standard layout includes 12 presses and 8 weighing systems arranged across 4 production lines. This model has been on the market since 2006.

Formula to calculate the hourly productivity based on the number of presses, the curing time and the number of mould cavities:
PN: number of presses
CT: curing time (s)
CN: number of cavities
Example: production with 12 presses, 2 minutes curing time and 4-cavities mould
12*(3600/(120+70))*4 = 908 pads/hour
