500°C Ultra-High Temperature Automatic Benchtop Hot Press 5 Ton 180x180mm Platens

Product Overview

This benchtop automatic hot press is engineered for laboratories requiring extreme temperature capabilities up to 500°C. With a 5-ton clamping force and 180×180mm heated platens, it delivers precise, repeatable thermal compression in a remarkably compact design. The fully automatic hydraulic system minimizes manual intervention, ensuring consistent process conditions across every cycle.

It serves research institutions and industrial R&D departments working on high-performance polymers, advanced ceramics, composite materials, and next-generation battery technologies. From polyimide and PEEK molding to solid-state battery interface engineering, the system provides the controlled heat and pressure essential for cutting-edge material development.

Built with premium components and equipped with integrated water cooling, this unit maintains reliable performance even during prolonged high-temperature cycles. Its robust construction and stable footprint make it a trusted asset in demanding lab environments, delivering repeatable outcomes that meet rigorous quality standards.

Key Features

• 500°C Extreme Temperature Capability: The system’s heating elements and advanced PID controller enable stable operation from ambient to 500°C, with precise adjustment. This ultra-high temperature range supports processing of materials that require near-melting-point conditions, such as polyimide, PEEK, and specialty fluoropolymers, enabling breakthrough research without additional equipment.
• Ultra-Compact Benchtop Footprint: Measuring just 290×290×420 mm, this press occupies minimal bench space—ideal for crowded labs where space is at a premium. Despite its compact size, it delivers full 5-ton force and 180×180mm platens, making it an efficient choice for facilities that need high performance in a small area.
• Plug-and-Play Electrical Integration: With a 1500W heating system operating on standard 220V single-phase power, the unit draws only approximately 6.8A. There is no need for costly electrical upgrades or dedicated circuits, allowing seamless installation in any standard laboratory.
• Built-in Circulating Water Cooling: Integrated water channels with external chiller connectivity rapidly cool the platens post-process and protect the hydraulic assembly from heat damage. This feature is mandatory above 150°C and ensures operator safety and long component life, even during frequent high-temperature runs.
• Programmable Full-Automatic Hydraulics: A closed-loop, software-driven hydraulic system automates pressurization and heating cycles. Parameters can be programmed and saved, ensuring repeatable, hands-free operation. This reduces human error and improves data comparability across multiple experiments.
• Uniform Dual-Zone Heating: The 180×180mm platens incorporate independent heating zones that maintain exceptional temperature uniformity across the entire pressing surface. This eliminates hot spots and ensures every sample receives identical thermal treatment, critical for consistent material properties.
• High-Precision Pressure Control: The hydraulic system achieves pressure resolution within 0.1 MPa, enabling delicate sample processing without over-compression. This fine control is essential for sensitive films and thin-layer laminations.
• Long-Life Heating Elements: Robust heating cartridges are designed for millions of cycles at high temperature, reducing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership. Their durable construction ensures consistent heating output over the equipment’s lifespan.
• Safety Interlocks: Pressure and temperature interlocks prevent operation outside safe parameters, protecting both the user and the instrument. This built-in safety architecture is ideal for multi-user research facilities.
• Durable Heavy-Duty Construction: Weighing 90 kg, the press provides exceptional stability, dampening vibrations that could affect precision lamination. The rigid frame and high-quality materials withstand continuous use in demanding lab environments.
