How does the heat press work?

All material should be clean, dry and granulated in the shredder before use in the heat press.

The shredded plastic granules are loaded into the holder. Two hotplates heat the holder. The upper hotplate is fixed in place. The lower hotplate can be raised and lowered using a hand pump. The heat and pressure causes the granules to soften and fuse into a 3mm thick sheet of plastic.
