hydraulic press
Liquid-pressure compactor machine
A hydraulic press is a machine that uses fluid pressure to generate compressive force.
A small force applied to a piston in a narrow cylinder creates enormous pressure in a larger cylinder—allowing the press to crush, shape, or form materials.
Industrial presses stamp metal parts, compress waste, and mold plastics.
We watched the hydraulic press flatten a bowling ball.
