Who uses the HCP 100 and for what
The Bernardo HCP 100 is the intermediate single-column hydraulic press in the HCP family, sized for industrial applications between the 60 tons of the HCP 60 and the 150 of the HCP 150. With a 600×1,100 mm table, Ø 120 mm through-hole, and 260 mm throat, it offers front access for stamping, punching, and shrinking medium-to-large components. The working speed of 5.5 mm/sec is the natural balance between the available 100 tons and cycle times: faster than the HCP 150 (3.5 mm/sec) but slower than the HCP 60 (8.5 mm/sec). The 300-liter oil tank (vs 200 of the HCP 60) better manages heat during prolonged cycles, making the machine sized for continuous industrial use. In Krollit's customers' workshops, it is chosen by industrial mechanical workshops, medium-heavy stamping, mold makers, industrial mechanical component maintenance, and precision workshops for medium-sized parts.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The HCP 100 occupies the upper-intermediate segment of the HCP family. Below: HCP 30, HCP 60. Above: HCP 150 (top of the range). The 600×1,100 mm table and the Ø 120 mm through-hole are the same as the HCP 150: the difference is in tonnage and cycle times. For applications using medium-sized molds (typical 450×900 mm) but not requiring 150 tons, the HCP 100 is correctly sized with faster cycles. For applications regularly requiring 130-150 tons, the HCP 150 is the logical choice. The price difference between HCP 100 and HCP 150 is significant: for workshops operating predominantly below 100 tons, the HCP 100 avoids oversizing. For mixed applications with occasional peaks above 100 tons, evaluate whether it is preferable to oversize with HCP 150 or limit applications to the HCP 100 capacity.

Customer support available in Italian.
Who is the HCP 100 for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Not recommended | Industrial machine with a weight of 5,400 kg and 100 tons. 400V three-phase line required. Exclusively professional application. |
| Industrial mechanical workshop | Recommended | 100 tons with a large table (600×1,100 mm) cover most standard industrial applications. 300-liter tank sized for continuous use. |
| Mold maker / industrial production | Recommended | Suitable for medium-sized molds and series production. Ø 120 mm through-hole allows through-punching and operations with scrap. |
Not suitable for: applications requiring over 100 tons (consider HCP 150); long parts with pressures at different points (DKS portal range); workshops without an industrial 400V three-phase line; automated series production with CNC positioning.

Frequently asked questions
Is the HCP 100 or HCP 150 better?
It depends on the maximum tonnage required. Up to 90 tons, the HCP 100 is correctly sized. For applications that regularly exceed 90-100 tons, the HCP 150 is the logical choice.
The HCP 100 and HCP 150 share the same table (600×1,100 mm) and through-hole (Ø 120 mm): identical geometry. The only difference is in tonnage and speeds. Constantly working at 90-100% of nominal capacity increases wear and energy consumption. Oversizing the press allows for optimal operation, but costs more. For general workshops with mixed applications around 80-100 tons, the HCP 100 is the correct sizing.
Can I use it for deep drawing?
For medium-deep drawing, yes (sheets up to 3-4 mm on standard shapes). The 300 mm piston stroke is adequate for most standard industrial drawing applications.
Deep drawing requires force, adequate stroke, and correct mold geometry. The HCP 100 with 300 mm stroke and 100 tons handles most medium drawing. For extreme drawing on thick sheet metal (over 4 mm), consider HCP 150 or portal presses. For series production on specific drawing, consider dedicated presses with servo controls.
Is the 7.5 kW motor sufficient for continuous use?
Yes. The 300-liter oil tank is sized to manage the heat generated during prolonged cycles. The HCP 100 is designed for standard continuous industrial use.
Hydraulic oil heats up due to friction during operation; the 300-liter tank (50% larger than the HCP 60) provides sufficient thermal mass for prolonged daily cycles without exceeding operating temperatures. For intensive use in a hot environment or for extreme duty cycles, installing an optional heat exchanger may be advisable.
Can I use different sized molds?
Yes. The 600×1,100 mm table accommodates molds of various sizes; the Ø 120 mm through-hole allows for scrap ejection and through-operations. Molds larger than 600×1,100 mm cannot be installed.
Most standard industrial molds fit within the table dimensions. For larger molds, it is recommended to plan ahead: the HCP 100 has a fixed, non-expandable geometry. For production of components significantly larger than the table, consider the DKS portal range, where the movable frame and 2,550 mm between uprights handle larger parts.
How much does it consume in standard production?
The 7.5 kW motor, at full load, typically consumes 7.5-8.5 kWh per hour of actual operation. In standard production with a 60-70% duty cycle, the average consumption is 5-6 kWh per hour.
For workshops with significant electricity costs, it is recommended to organize cycles to minimize standby times with the motor running. Switching off between spaced cycles reduces average consumption. For continuous use, consumption is close to the nominal maximum. Optional energy recovery systems are available on advanced industrial versions.
