Integrated Manual Heated Plate Hydraulic Press for Laboratory

Product Overview

This system is a fully integrated laboratory press that combines a manual hydraulic system with precisely heated platens into a single, compact enclosure. Its core value lies in delivering simultaneous heat and pressure for sample preparation, curing, and consolidation, eliminating the need for separate components and ensuring consistent, repeatable results.

Primary use cases span advanced material research, including polymer film production, solid-state electrolyte layer consolidation for batteries, and composite lamination. Target industries include materials science laboratories, battery R&D facilities, and quality control departments in polymer and ceramics manufacturing. The unit's versatility makes it suitable for both research and small-scale production.

Built for demanding laboratory environments, this equipment features a rugged, chemically-resistant powder-coated steel cabinet that protects internal components from dust and corrosive fumes. Precision-ground tool steel platens maintain high parallelism under full 40-ton load, ensuring uniform pressure and thermal distribution, which is critical for reliable sample quality.

Key Features

• All-in-One Enclosed Design: The hydraulic pump, heating controller, and platens are housed within a single powder-coated steel cabinet, shielding sensitive electronics from dust, powder, and corrosive fumes commonly found in labs.
• High-Platen Parallelism: Precision-ground tool steel platens maintain exceptional flatness and parallelism even at the maximum 40-ton load, providing uniform pressure and heat across the entire 200 × 200 mm work area.
• Symmetrical Dual-Zone Heating: Two sets of embedded heating elements (1800 W total) with closed-loop PID control deliver smooth, overshoot-free temperature ramping and ±1°C stability, minimizing edge gradients.
• Integrated Water Cooling: Built-in labyrinth cooling channels and rear Φ8 mm quick-connect ports enable rapid, controlled thermal dissipation. Ideal for quenching or cooling samples under pressure, it significantly shortens cycle times when paired with an external chiller or water line.
• 7-Inch HMI Touchscreen: A bright, intuitive interface displays real-time Temperature-Pressure-Time curves, supports recipe-driven operation, and provides diagnostic alerts, moving beyond basic push-button controllers.
• Precision Pressure Control: Continuously adjustable from 0 to 40 tons (0–400 kN) with a pressure gauge accuracy of ±1% full scale, enabling fine-tuned application across soft polymers and hard ceramic powders.
• Safety Diagnostics: Built-in over-temperature alarms and pressure overload protection automatically trigger depressurization and heater shutdown, safeguarding both the operator and the sample.
• Hardened, Anti-Stick Platens: The platen surfaces receive a specialized treatment to prevent material adhesion, facilitating easy sample removal and reducing cross-contamination.
