Dutch term or phrase: etagepers
I'm working on a book about the history of a Dutch/Danish manufacturer of melamine tableware. They use injection moulding, but in the 1960s and 70s, they used something called an 'etagepers'. Google image search suggests that it's called a multilayer press in English. Can anyone confirm that this would be used to make melamine plates and bowls?

neutral  Alexander Schleber (X): The term you are suggesting is both in Kluwer and gets mutiple hits on Google. But the term itself makes no technical sense, IMO. It is misleading. That is why I prefer the term "multilayer press".

multilayer press


Explanation:
Even though multi-daylight press is listed in the Kluwer dictionary, I find the term technically not sensible. If, instead, you look for "multilayer press" on Google, you immediately get a larfge number of sites, where this term is used producing polatics laminations and PCB products..

Reference information:
see this glossary of hydraulic press terms:

"Daylight - The vertical clearance from the top of the bolster to the underside of the ram in its maximum up position. This term sometimes is confused with the mechanical press term "shut height". Shut height is the clearance over the bed with the ram full down. "Daylight" describes the maximum vertical capacity of the press."

"Figure 3: Single-daylight hydraulic plate press

Another categorization of hydraulic plate presses is possible by the number of existing daylights. A daylight is the space between two press plates. A press with two pressplates has one opening where workpieces can be placed and is called a single-daylight press (Figure 3). If a press is equipped with a multiple number of pressplates it allows multiple workpieces to be processed during one presscycle. These presses are called multi-daylight presses (Figure 4). Today presses with more than 40 daylights are common in the industry.
