Hydraulic Dishing Press BSP: Precision Crowning for Tank Heads and Dished Ends
Every pressurized tank, boiler and vessel needs a head that can carry the load, and that head begins as a flat circular plate. The SBFM Hydraulic Dishing Press BSP turns that plate into a smooth, accurately crowned dome. Built around a rigid portal frame and a powerful hydraulic system, it gives tank head manufacturers controlled force, repeatable shapes and the reliability to run shift after shift.

What Is a Dishing Press?
Dishing, also called crowning, is the first stage of making a dished end. A flat plate is pressed between dies so that its central area takes a curved, domed shape while the outer edge begins to roll upward. The result is a head that distributes internal pressure evenly and can be made with thinner walls than a flat cover would need. Dished heads are used to close pressurized and unpressurized containers, thin or thick walled, across industry.
After dishing, the edge is usually completed in a flanging machine, which forms the knuckle and the straight flange so the head can be welded to the shell. Where required, edge crimping and flanging can also be carried out to reach a smoother, more precise surface.
How the BSP Hydraulic Dishing Press Works
The plate is positioned under the pressing tool and the hydraulic cylinder applies force through a set of dies with the required radius. Dishing is typically done in several pressing steps. The operator rotates or repositions the plate between strokes, gradually forming the dome and letting the material flow without cracking or wrinkling. Controlled pressure and adjustable speed let the same press handle different thicknesses, diameters and materials.
Key Features and Benefits
- Rigid portal frame that resists deflection and keeps the dies aligned under heavy loads
- Generous open working area for loading large plates and positioning them accurately
- Powerful hydraulic system with the motor and oil tank mounted on top to save floor space
- Controlled pressure and speed for smooth, repeatable forming cycles
- Hazard-marked tooling area and protective details that support safer operation
- Access platform and handrail for convenient and safe maintenance of the power unit
- Suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel and other plate materials according to model capacity
Applications of the BSP Dishing Press
The BSP is a core machine for any workshop that manufactures pressure vessels and tanks. Typical products include:
- Tank heads for LPG, LNG and fuel storage tanks
- Boiler and pressure vessel ends
- Heads for food, beverage and dairy processing equipment
- Silo and water tank bottoms
- Covers for cylindrical metal containers
- Heads for chemical, petrochemical and energy equipment
Build a Complete Head-Making Line
A dishing press delivers the best results as part of a coordinated line. Pair the BSP with SBFM flanging machines to complete the knuckle and flange, and add polishing machines for a clean surface finish on carbon or stainless steel heads. For the tank shells, SBFM roll bending machines complete the picture. One supplier, one engineering team and machines designed to work together simplify purchasing, installation and service.
Why Choose SBFM Machinery?
SBFM Machinery has produced sheet metal forming machines in Konya since 1998. Our range covers dishing presses, flanging machines, roll bending machines, polishing machines, profile and pipe bending machines and special solutions such as corrugated and grooved rolls. Machines are designed, cut, welded, machined, assembled and tested in our own facilities, and our quality policy rests on customer satisfaction. We believe we grow together with our customers.
How to Choose the Right Dishing Press
- Largest plate diameter, or the developed diameter of the head you plan to form
- Plate thickness and material, including stainless steel
- Head types and radii required, with the matching die set
- Production volume and the level of handling or automation you need
- Safety requirements, power supply and available floor space
Maintenance for Long Service Life
Regular checks of hydraulic oil level and cleanliness, filters, seals, hoses and die surfaces keep the press accurate and reliable. Because the power unit is mounted on the top of the frame, it is easy to inspect from the access platform. A simple preventive maintenance routine from the first day avoids unplanned stops and protects every head you produce. Ask our engineers about spare parts, commissioning and technical support when you request your quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dishing press do? It presses flat circular plates into domed shapes, creating the crown of tank heads and dished ends.
Do I also need a flanging machine? Usually yes. After dishing, the flanging machine forms the knuckle and straight flange so the head can be welded.
Can the press be configured for my heads? Yes. Capacity, plate diameter and die sets can be matched to your products. Send us your plate diameter, thickness and material for a recommendation.

Hydraulic Dishing Press, pressurized or unpressurized, thin or thick walled, cylindrical, used in industry to cover the floors and ceilings of metal containers used to dished the covers (to give a fluffy or dished shape) are machines used.
In the cambered sheet forming process, the edges of the metal curl under the influence of the pressure applied to the metal sheet. This process allows the metal sheet to take a curved or dished shape. In the edge crimping process, pipe bender, flanging is also performed if necessary to obtain a smoother surface
