Machines specially designed for hot pressing films on wood, MDF and plastic materials. These machines perform the hot transferring of finishing paper-foils onto the wood or plastic surface without the use of any glue, making this process smooth and clean. The various models are all made of a machine bed plus one or more independent gilding heads. The use of independent head units and the possibility of moving each unit at a wide working angle make it easy to work on very different kind of finishing projects and to overcome several technical machining problems.
