40 Ton Split Type Hot Press with 400x400mm Platens for Polymer Lamination Composite Curing and Semiconductor Bonding

Product Overview

The 40-ton split-type hot press is an industrial-grade thermal pressing platform designed for demanding large-area applications. Its massive 400 mm × 400 mm heated platens and 40-ton hydraulic capacity deliver uniform temperature and pressure distribution essential for high-quality laminations and bonds.

A defining feature of this system is its split-type architecture, which separates the heavy press frame from the control console. This modular design enables easy integration into gloveboxes, fume hoods, or cleanrooms, protecting sensitive electronics from heat and chemical exposure while enhancing operator safety.

Built for continuous operation in research and production environments, the press combines robust mechanical construction with precise PID temperature control and programmable pressure cycles. Its CE compliance and multiple configuration options ensure reliable performance across a wide range of industrial processes.

Key Features

• Split-Type Modular Architecture: The press frame is physically isolated from the control console, allowing the heavy mechanism to be placed inside controlled environments while the operator manages processes externally. This layout protects sensitive control electronics from thermal stress and chemical vapours.
• Large-Area Heated Platens: The 400 mm × 400 mm platens feature high-density symmetrical heating elements, providing uniform temperature from room temperature up to 300 °C across the entire surface. This ensures consistent results even with full-size samples.
• Advanced Touchscreen PID Control (Automatic Models): A 7-inch intuitive touchscreen allows programming of multi-step temperature ramps and pressure cycles, including automated pressurization, holding, and decompression. Stored profiles enable repeatable process control.
• Circulating Water Cooling: Integrated water channels within the platens actively cool the hydraulic seals during prolonged high-temperature runs, extending seal life and enabling rapid post-process cooling for faster cycle times.
• Air-Freight-Optimized Configuration: A special variant reduces shipping costs for international buyers by minimizing crate dimensions, achieving a compact opening height of 150 mm and piston stroke of 50 mm while retaining the full 40-ton force.
• Versatile Configurations: Available in Standard Automatic, Air-Freight Automatic, and Heavy-Duty Manual editions, catering to diverse operational, facility, and budget requirements. The manual version offers a cost-effective solution with a hand-pump hydraulic system.

Applications

Technical Specifications

Pressure and Area Engineering Note: The maximum mechanical capacity is 40 Tons (400 kN). However, the applied contact pressure depends on the sample or die size. For a full 400 × 400 mm sample, the maximum contact pressure is 2.5 MPa (362 psi), ideal for polymer and composite sheets. For concentrated pressing, using a smaller die yields higher pressure. For example, a 40-ton load on a Ø100 mm die produces 50.9 MPa (7,382 psi). Always ensure tooling is rated for the applied force.

Installation & Facility Requirements

• Heavy-Duty Workbench: The press weighs 480–550 kg and must be installed on a structurally reinforced bench or steel floor stand. Use appropriate hoisting equipment.
• Electrical: Automatic models require AC 220V/50Hz single-phase power with a dedicated 40A circuit breaker. The manual model requires AC 380V/50Hz three-phase power.
• Water Cooling: Connect the built-in water channels to a laboratory water supply or an external recirculating chiller for effective platen cooling.
