Beijing (Apr. 10, 2012) – Yiyang Rubber & Plastics Machinery Group Co., Ltd. is reportedly building a flat curing press which is 2.7m wide and 16.4m long. This is one of six large-size flat curing presses sold between January and March 2012. Such presses are typically used to make conveyor belts.

The company has reportedly bought a Ssangyong 22m-long numerically-controlled boring machine – the first such machine in China – to make the presses.

On the path to making a 2.7m wide unit, Yiyang has built a press 16.6m long by 1.8m wide.
