Applications
The KinTek XRF Pellet Press is an indispensable tool for laboratories performing:
- X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometry: Prepare consistent, homogeneous pellets for highly accurate elemental analysis of diverse materials.
- Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy: Create suitable pellets for IR analysis, ensuring optimal sample interaction with the infrared beam.
Highlighted Advantages
Beyond core functionality, the KinTek press offers thoughtful design elements for enhanced usability and longevity:
- Space-Efficient Design: The upper plate utilizes electroplated countersunk head hexagonal screws, contributing to a sleek appearance and saving valuable lab space.
- Durability & Low Maintenance: Features a chrome-plated cylinder for a smooth, rust-resistant surface and excellent sealing, preventing oil leakage. The one-piece mainboard structure (oil pool, mainboard, oil cylinder integrated) eliminates unnecessary seal connections, further enhancing reliability.
- Reliable Demoulding: An extended pulling spring ensures a good rebound effect and prevents deformation, achieving up to 30mm cylinder return without issues.
- Long-Lasting Molds: Molds are crafted from Japanese high-speed steel, known for its excellent material properties, high hardness, resistance to deformation, and extended service life.
- Precise Pressure Control: The digital display pressure gauge offers more accurate pressure control, with a display accuracy of 0.01MPa.
- Easy Maintenance: The oil pool is located outside the host for convenient oil replacement, and the oil circuit includes a hydraulic oil filtration device to protect the system.
- Glove Box Compatibility: Its compact size, light weight, and no-oil-leakage design make it perfectly suitable for use within glove boxes.
