Comparison between OCEM's Hermetic Presses for Cement tiles:
Mod. OPA 540 vs OPA 1480/6
In the field of technology for the production of cement tiles and slabs, OCEM is the global leader and benchmark for innovation and quality. The company offers a wide range of hermetic presses that respond to different needs, from small productions to large quantities or large formats required by the most ambitious projects.
In this article, we will compare the two models at the extremes of the OCEM range: the OPA 540, the smallest press in the OCEM catalog, and the OPA 1480/6, the largest and most powerful rotary hermetic press in the world.
Clearly, this comparison between the smallest (and less equipped) press and the largest and most powerful one, equipped with the industry’s most advanced technology and solutions, might seem “strange” and unfair to the OPA 540, which remains a highly appreciated press by many customers for its compact size, ease of use, and excellent quality of the tiles produced.
Soon, we will also include the OPA 740/6 in the comparison, a medium/large-sized machine and the worldwide best-seller in hermetic presses.

Dimensions and Production Capacity
OPA 540
The OPA 540 is designed for small productions. Its compact size makes it ideal for factories with limited space or for specific productions of smaller-sized products. The production capacity of this machine is sufficient to meet the needs of small and medium producers, while still offering high-quality in the finished product.
OPA 1480/6
On the other hand, the OPA 1480/6 represents the ultimate in hermetic cement presses. With considerable dimensions and extraordinary production capacity, this machine is designed for large industrial plants. Its power allows it to handle enormous production volumes, ensuring excellent quality and uniform compaction even on the largest surfaces.
Performance and Efficiency
OPA 540
The OPA 540 is optimized for energy efficiency and ease of use. Its compact design and intuitive control system make it an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable press without the need for excessive power. It is equipped with automation systems that minimize human intervention, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
OPA 1480/6
The OPA 1480/6 is a machine with unparalleled performance. It features advanced automation and control systems that allow production to be managed with extreme precision. Its energy efficiency is impressive considering its power, and the integrated technologies ensure rapid cycle times, reducing operating costs and increasing production yield.
Applications and Target Market
OPA 540
The OPA 540 is ideal for manufacturers of cement products operating on a smaller scale or needing a versatile machine that can be easily integrated into existing facilities. It is suitable for specialized and high-quality productions, such as decorative elements or small/medium-sized tiles in limited batches.
OPA 1480/6
The OPA 1480/6 is intended for large industrial plants that require high production capacity. It is perfect for producing large tiles or concrete slabs. Its performance makes it suitable for large-scale infrastructure projects and markets where the demand for cement tiles/slabs is very high.
Conclusions
The choice between the OPA 540 and the OPA 1480/6 primarily depends on the production needs and the size of the project.
The OPA 540 is perfect for those seeking a compact and versatile solution without sacrificing quality and innovation.
The OPA 1480/6, on the other hand, is the ideal solution for those needing to manage large production volumes with maximum efficiency and precision. Both models represent OCEM’s excellence in the field of hermetic presses for cement, ensuring high performance and long-term reliability.
