Porta Press Maintenance

The Porta Press is a low-maintenance solution engineered for optimal efficiency in metal stamping. It features a unique design with no mechanical parts, clutches, or brake assemblies, eliminating the need for alignment and preventing jamming at the bottom of the stroke.

Equipped with a FRL System (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator).

What is An FRL? - Filter Regulator Lubricator

To maintain the Porta Press, we just need to focus on the FLR system:

1. Monitor and change the filter if it's dirty.
2. Clean, lubricated air will keep the cylinder running smoothly for a long time.
3. Dirt and water can damage the cylinder seal over time, so make sure to keep the air clean.

Maintaining the die set is straightforward: just grease the bushings and sharpen the punch die as needed. This minimal maintenance ensures that the Porta Press remains a reliable and efficient pneumatic shop press.
