12 HIGHLY SATISFYING HYDRAULIC PRESS VIDEOS OF STUFF GETTING SQUISHED
The hydraulic press has been around since 1795 (invented by the same guy who later created the flush toilet). This miracle machinery facilitates a clean, repeatable look for a product line. It's one of man's great industrial creations.
Man also likes to destroy, though. One of the internet's more amusing trends of the last few years has been hydraulic press videos. Press operators are posting hilarious clips online of food and other consumer products being slowly crushed to death by a hydraulic press.
You'll find it's just as amusing as it sounds. Keep scrolling for the proof.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A HYDRAULIC PRESS?
For the uninitiated: A hydraulic press is a machine that has a bed or plate on which the operator places your metal of choice. The press uses a cylinder to generate the compressive force needed to crush, mold, or straighten that metal.
Common uses for hydraulic presses include:
Metal forming
Moulding
Punching (not your brother)
Deep drawing
Much more
Oh, and demolishing household objects in spectacular fashion.

BENEFITS OF A HYDRAULIC PRESS (BESIDES BEING COOL)
Got serious work to do with a press? In many cases using a hydraulic press (like our brand-new, 75-ton Beckwood) will improve your project’s exactness and cost efficiency compared with use of a mechanical press.
Unlike their mechanical counterparts, hydraulic presses can compress any material to a full extent. Many newer hydraulic presses do more work per stroke, crunching the amount of time you pay for your product to be on the line. Best of all, the less-aggressive hydraulic press (it instead specializes in slow, impending doom) wears down your tool set more slowly.
These contraptions are used in a variety of industries. A few examples of the hydraulic press’s handiness:
Destroying hard stuff: Sometimes large, metallic objects (i.e. old cars) need compacted to maximize waste space.
Flattening metal for roll formed parts: The press can handle stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, etc. and help you mold a component for your engineering application (i.e. solar panel mounting)
Processing food ingredients: Food makers use presses to squeeze valuable liquid elements out of edible items (i.e. chocolate liquor from cocoa beans, which is then processed into fat-free cocoa powder)
