We get things into shape.
Heating and cooling platens are versatile temperature control systems that allow you to precisely supply or dissipate heat. Whether it’s rapid heating for veneer presses, precise cooling in aerospace component manufacturing, or uniform temperature control while processing solid surface materials – our platens operate reliably, energy-efficiently and exactly to your specifications. As a specialist in innovative heating, cooling and vacuum technologies, ELKOM has been developing custom solutions for decades that integrate seamlessly into your production processes while meeting the highest quality standards.
Combined electrical heating platen
The market-leading standard heat platen system for all makes of veneer press
- Exceptionally pressure-resistant construction, compatible with all makes of veneer press
- Highly cost-effective thanks to excellent value for money
- Easy to operate and quick to reach operating temperature
- Ideal for retrofitting older presses with the Combined Heating Platen
Electro-short cycle heating platen
Boosts veneer output on standard and through-feed presses
- Specialised electronic control for industrial-level performance even on standard presses
- Veneer output increased by up to 100%
- Short-cycle pressing at 130°C
- Double the pressing capacity with only slightly higher energy consumption
- Maximum operational safety with robust platen construction
Electrical system profile heating platen
Enhanced pressure stability
- Extremely pressure-resistant surface heating for presses and systems (such as for solid wood lamination, panel bonding, heated and casting tables, etc.)
- Extremely pressure-resistant and torsion-free unit
- Improved temperature stability thanks to increased heat storage capacity
Dual-system heating platen
For energy cost savings when using heating water simultaneously.
- Ideal for water and oil filling: The fluid medium system is based on the patented ELKOM ÖKOTHERM® platen system. It is maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant.
- Precise temperatures: For high-temperature applications or in heavily loaded presses, a thermal oil filling system with an additional pump can be connected to achieve very accurate temperatures.
- This is ideal for membrane presses, vacuum presses, moulding presses and punching presses.
- Applications for precision heating platens in the tooling and plastics industries
ÖKOTHERM® Fluid medium heating platen
The leading platen system for consistent temperature distribution
- Outstanding temperature stability via a continuously circulating medium
- Corrosion- and wear-resistant thanks to non-ferrous metals
- Repairable in the event of mechanical damage
- Simpler handling with improved pressing results, no need for dummy panels
- Conversion possible: The Ökotherm system can be adapted for both heating and cooling processes

Of course, we provide custom temperature control systems for ELKOM electric heating platens specifically designed for your requirements. Our temperature control systems ensure the precise, reliable regulation of the heating platens to deliver excellent performance and efficiency. These systems are engineered to accurately monitor and adjust the temperature, guaranteeing even heat distribution and the safety of your processes. Our experts are happy to advise you on selecting the right temperature control solution for your specific needs.
We do not offer pure steel heating platens. However, we have developed innovative methods to bond aluminium heating platens with steel. This combination allows us to combine the wear resistance of steel with the advantages of aluminium, without causing warping. This way, you get the best of both worlds: a wear-resistant surface and the excellent thermal properties of aluminium. Our experts will be happy to assist you in finding the best solution for your specific requirements.
