Abstract: Disclosed is an electric press having a substantially airtight casing containing therein a drive device for reciprocatingly moving a ram relative to a work positioned on a base to press the work, and a device for exhausting the dusts produced within the casing from a room where the electric press is located to the outside into open air through a pipe connected to the casing, the electric press comprising dust exhausting means including at least two openings provided at the casing thereof, one of the openings being of a relatively small diameter to be used in connection with an exhauster of a normal level of exhausting ability and the other of the openings being of a relatively large diameter to be used in connection with an exhauster of a relatively low level of exhausting ability. Further the casing is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion, and the upper portion is detachably mounted to said lower portion.

Abstract: An electric press with dust generation preventing device, especially used in a clean spaced room, is disclosed, wherein the electric press has the essential elements including a pressing ram, an electric drive motor and a transmission provided between the drive motor and the pressing ram and transmitting the driving force of the drive motor to the pressing ram to reciprocatingly move the ram relative to a work to be pressingly processed, the electric press substantially comprises a casing structured airtight for covering the essential elements, an pipe elongated and having one end thereof being located within the casing and the opposite end being located in an open air outside of the clean spaced room and an air absorbing means provided in connection with said pipe and operated to cause the air in the casing to flow through said pipe out into the open air outside of the clean spaced room.
