520			_aIn this project, a detachable clamping mechanism for pressing composite materials is being developed to be incorporated with an existing hydraulic press machine. Compared to conventional single-board pressing techniques, which require 24-hour curing cycles per product, the prototype maximizes manufacturing efficiency by enabling up to five molds to be stacked and pressed concurrently. The manual pressing and Detachable Clamping Mechanism (DCM) prototype for composite boards are compared in the study. In contrast to the manually generated sample, which had a density of only 1 kg and a modulus of rupture of 10.36 N, according to the results, the DCM-produced samples had a significantly higher modulus of rupture (30.33–78.56 N) and a higher and more consistent density (0.83–1.17 kg). It validates the enhanced compression, bonding, and overall structural performance of the DCM prototype compared to the manual. Functionality, workability, durability, safety, and economy assessments were all part of the evaluation process. The ratings were as follows: 4.38 for functionality, 4.27 for workability, 4.37 for durability, 4.38 for safety, 4.37 for aesthetics, and 4.45 for economy. These findings demonstrate that the clamping mechanism enhances material density, load-bearing capacity, and production reliability, enabling the press machine to operate continuously and significantly increase productivity. This study presents a valuable approach to enhance productivity and expedite the production of composite boards. Keywords: composite board, detachable clamping mechanism, hydraulic press machine, pressing
