Hydraulic Valve Guide Press P-15 Chinelatto 15 Tons

A valve guide press is used to remove and install valve seats, guides and bushings during cylinder head rebuilds. It's essential equipment for replacing worn components that affect valve sealing. The P-15 Press works with 15-ton hydraulic force, ensuring precision removal without damaging the cylinder head. The 47-inch (1200mm) floating table supports cylinder heads up to 300 lb (136kg), allowing work on various engine sizes.

The P-15 Chinelatto hydraulic press has maximum capacity of 15 tons of force. The floating table supports cylinder heads up to 300 lb (136kg) with maximum dimensions of 43 x 15 inches (1100 x 370mm). The piston has 8-inch (200mm) stroke and 31 IPM (780mm/min) speed, ensuring productivity. Column to piston center distance is 9 inches (220mm). 1hp electric motor works on 220/380V three-phase. Machine dimensions when assembled are 83 x 36 x 69 inches (2100 x 923 x 1760mm), fitting professional shop spaces.

The 15-ton press accepts cylinder heads up to 300 lb (136kg) and maximum dimensions of 43 x 15 inches (1100 x 370mm). This includes cylinder heads from compact cars, mid-size vehicles, pick-ups, SUVs and some light trucks. The floating table with 87 PSI (6 bar) air cushion facilitates positioning even the heaviest cylinder heads. The 9-inch (220mm) column-to-center distance allows working at different head points. Ideal for 4, 6 and 8-cylinder engines from most domestic and imported vehicles.

Hydraulic press offers constant, controlled 15-ton force, while manual depends on physical effort with limited force. In hydraulic, piston works at 31 IPM (780mm/min) with precision, reducing risk of cylinder head damage. Floating table facilitates positioning, unlike manual that requires more adjustments. Hydraulic allows working cylinder heads up to 300 lb (136kg) easily, while manual makes heavy parts difficult to handle. Productivity is much higher in hydraulic for high-volume shops.

The machine works with hydraulic system that moves piston with 15-ton force. Cylinder head is secured on floating table, which has 87 PSI (6 bar) air cushion to facilitate positioning. To remove, position extractor over guide and activate piston. To install, use proper installer and controlled force. The 8-inch (200mm) piston stroke allows working guides of different heights. The 31 IPM (780mm/min) speed ensures agility without compromising work precision.

The P-15 press needs regular preventive maintenance on hydraulic system, checking oil level and quality. Change filters per recommendation and maintain air cushion pressure at 87 PSI (6 bar). Lubricate linear guides and check electrical connections of 1hp motor. Clean floating table and check piston alignment periodically. Keep tooling (extractors and installers) clean and organized. With proper maintenance, machine has extended service life and maintains precision. Chinelatto offers technical support and original replacement parts.
