Synonyms for pressing machines
Sanitary pressing machines are known by various names depending on application and region.
Some of the most common terms include:
- Radial press
- Composite pipe press
- Press
- Stainless steel press
- Fitting press
- Copper press
- Pipe press
- Press tool
- Battery-powered press
- Cordless pressing machine
Power supply
Pressing machines come in two main variants: corded or battery‑powered.
Corded machines are often more affordable and are well suited for stationary use.
Battery‑powered presses, however, offer maximum flexibility on construction sites.
Some models, such as the

can even be used as hybrid machines with an additional 230 V power supply to provide even greater versatility.
Pressing force
The pressing force of a machine determines which pipe dimensions can be processed.
Most commonly used are devices with a pressing force of 32 kN,
as they are compatible with a wide range of press jaws and offer proven technology.
There are also compact models with 19 kN, 22 kN, or 24 kN,
specially designed for smaller pipe diameters.
On the other hand, high‑performance presses with more than 32 kN are available,
developed for large stainless‑steel pipes up to 108 mm.
Important: Due to the enormous forces generated during pressing,
you should only use high‑quality press jaws.

Pressing process and return stroke
The pressing process differs depending on the model:
Fully automatic with automatic return stroke
Here, the machine performs the entire pressing process independently.
After starting, the cycle runs automatically until completed.
Advantage: Maximum safety and comfort, as operating errors are almost impossible.
Example:
/134859/rothenberger-akku-pressmaschine-romax-4000-akku-ladegeraet-und-rocase-kofferROTHENBERGER ROMAX 4000.
Semi‑automatic with automatic return stroke
The operator holds the start button until the machine detects that maximum pressing force has been reached.
After that, the return stroke begins automatically.
Advantage: High processing safety while maintaining full control.
Examples:
/195640/rothenberger-romax-ac-eco-presswerkzeug-presszange-mit-autom.-ruecklauf#977f/brand-categories/m=and&q=ROTHENBERGER+ROMAX+AC+ECOROTHENBERGER ROMAX AC ECO,
/196633/rems-power-press-acc-basis-packREMS Power Press ACC.
Manual with manual return stroke
For these machines, both the pressing process and the return stroke must be controlled manually.
Disadvantages:
The operator must monitor the entire cycle.
In noisy environments, acoustic signals may be misinterpreted.
Example:
/196421/rems-power-press-se-radialpresse-fittingpresse-koffer#977f/brand-categories/m=and&q=REMS+Power+Press+SEREMS Power Press SE.
Housing types of pressing machines
Pressing machines come in different designs, each suitable for different areas of application:
Pistol shape
The classic design, similar to power tools such as cordless screwdrivers.
These machines fit well in the hand but can become top‑heavy in powerful 32 kN models.
Example:
/196441/rems-mini-press-acc-li-ion-basis-packRems Mini Press ACC Li‑Ion Basis Pack.
Inline shape
This design was developed to make working in narrow shafts or holes easier.
Advantage: Compact design allowing access to hard‑to‑reach areas.
Example:
/134859/rothenberger-akku-pressmaschine-romax-4000-akku-ladegeraet-und-rocase-kofferROTHENBERGER ROMAX 4000.
Hybrid shape
A combination of pistol and inline design, combining the advantages of both.
Example:
/195640/rothenberger-romax-ac-eco-presswerkzeug-presszange-mit-autom.-ruecklauf#977f/brand-categories/m=and&q=ROTHENBERGER+ROMAX+AC+ECOROTHENBERGER ROMAX AC ECO.
