40 Ton Split Type Automatic Hot Press 400°C High Temperature 350x350mm Platens

Product Overview

This split-type automatic hot press is a high-performance system engineered for demanding thermal forming applications. With a robust 40-ton hydraulic capacity and a precision PID-controlled heating system reaching up to 400°C, it delivers exceptional consistency for processing advanced materials under rigorous conditions. The split architecture physically separates the press frame from the control cabin, effectively shielding sensitive electronics from heat and vibration, which extends equipment lifespan and ensures operator safety.

Primarily designed for research and pilot production, this unit excels in molding high-performance polymers such as PEEK, PI, PPS, and LCP, as well as advanced composite materials like carbon-fiber-reinforced prepregs. It is a critical tool in materials science labs, semiconductor packaging, flexible electronics manufacturing, and battery component prototyping. The generous 350×350 mm platen area accommodates mid-sized samples and multi-cavity tooling, boosting throughput in continuous operation.

Built on a heavily reinforced steel frame, the press maintains strict alignment even under maximum load, preventing the microscopic deflection that can compromise part quality. All load-bearing components are precision-machined, and the hydraulic system is equipped with a high-accuracy pressure transducer and servo-controlled relief valves. The equipment carries CE certification, confirming compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, giving procurement teams confidence in long-term reliability.

Key Features

• 400°C Ultra-High Temperature Capability: Advanced resistive heating elements and high-temperature insulation allow sustained operation at 400°C, enabling the processing of extreme-performance thermoplastics and composite matrices without thermal degradation or hot spots.
• 40-Ton Precision Force Control: A closed-loop PID pressure controller maintains set point within a tight tolerance across the entire 0–40 T range. Multi-step pressure profiling, automatic hold, and a regulated depressurization cycle are fully programmable for repeatable results.
• Split-Type Thermal Protection: The control console and pump unit are housed separately from the hot press frame. Ceramic and mica insulation block heat migration to the hydraulic cylinder, position sensors, and power electronics, preserving accuracy and service life even during prolonged 400°C runs.
• 7-Inch Industrial Touchscreen Interface: A high-resolution display provides real-time pressure and temperature trend curves. Operators can design complex multi-segment recipes—ramp, soak, pressurize, hold, cool, and vent—without manual intervention, enabling unattended overnight processing.
• Dual Independent Heating Zones: Each platen is powered by a dedicated 3,000 W heater, monitored by dual thermocouples. This design eliminates temperature lag between upper and lower surfaces, delivering isothermal conditions that are critical for laminate uniformity.
• Robust Water Cooling System: An integrated internal cooling circuit, paired with an optional external chiller, accelerates heat dissipation from the platens and hydraulic oil. This shortens cycle times and protects seals when transitioning from high-temperature runs.
• CE-Certified Safety Architecture: Safety features include an emergency stop button, over-temperature protection, pressure relief interlocks, and a guarded working zone. The system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of European and international lab safety protocols.
• Flexible Daylight Adjustment: With a maximum opening of 180 mm and a 50 mm piston stroke, the press accepts a wide range of tooling heights. For thin specimens, optional spacer blocks can be inserted to maintain optimal pressure distribution.
