Improve and Scale Your Science: High-Capacity Lab Press

This Laboratory compression press is a versatile, safe, and powerful workhorse designed to bridge the gap between material research. With pilot-scale production, offering unparalleled control and flexibility for diverse applications, this press will make a great addition to all businesses.

Laboratory Compression Press Technical specifications:

Customisable Options:

  • Force Range: 10 Ton to 50 ton: Offers versatility to handle a wide variety of materials and testing requirements. From low-force material compaction to high-strength production-grade moulding.
  • Platen from 200mm x 200mm to 1000m x 1000mm: The range of platen sizes provides flexibility for different sample sizes and production scales. Smaller platens are ideal for material research, while larger platens suit pilot production or bigger component testing.
  • Temperature: up to 300°C: Enables a wide range of thermal processing, making it perfect for polymer curing, thermoset moulding, lamination, and other high-temperature material treatments.
  • Pressure control: Manual
  • Daylight: from 50mm to 340mm: Allows the operator full, intuitive control and provides a cost-effective and robust method of setting and maintaining the desired pressure for highly reproducible results.
  • Daylight: single or double daylight: Boosts productivity and allows for sequential or simultaneous pressing operations. A double-daylight configuration effectively doubles the throughput for production-focused tasks.
  • Footprint from 550mm x 950mm : Maximises laboratory space efficiency. There by making it easy to integrate into existing labs or production areas without requiring excessive room.

As Standard Options:

  • Guard: The machine is fully guarded with a raised pneumatic-operated front guard with A safe edge. Ensures operator safety by preventing access to the moving platens during the compression cycle. The pneumatic operation makes sample loading and unloading quick and effortless.
  • Cycle timer: Provides precise control over the pressing duration, ensuring consistent and repeatable process control critical for both material research and quality production.
  • Pump: 4kW: Delivers rapid and consistent pressure build-up and hold, maximising cycle efficiency and reducing downtime.
  • Slow close: Protects delicate moulds, tooling, and materials by ensuring the platens come together gently at the start of the cycle. Preventing impact damage, reducing fault opportunities and allowing precise alignment.
  • Easy to maintain: Minimises ownership costs and downtime. Simple maintenance procedures ensure the press remains operational and reliable for years of heavy use.
  • Suitable for production and material testing: A true dual-purpose machine, providing the accuracy required for R&D. Alongside the reliability/throughput needed for small-scale production or quality assurance testing.
