Intelligent Desktop Manual Thermal Press with Dual Heating Real Time MPa and Water Cooling for Glovebox

This benchtop manual hot press is an advanced, space-saving solution designed for operation within gloveboxes and other confined laboratory environments. Integrating a 5-ton manual hydraulic cylinder, a dual-zone heating system with ±1 °C PID control, and real-time pressure sensing into a footprint roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper, it delivers reliable performance even under severe space constraints.

Engineered specifically for solid-state battery manufacturing, FTIR pellet preparation, and polymer lamination, this system ensures repeatable temperature and pressure profiles. An intelligent Human-Machine Interface (HMI) allows direct input of the die diameter and displays the actual sample contact stress in real-time (MPa), enabling precise, quantitative process development.

Equipped with airtight, low-volatility hydraulic seals and an optional water-cooled thermal barrier, the unit protects both the glovebox internal atmosphere and its own sealing components. This CE-certified system is backed by global service support and designed to withstand years of demanding research.

Key Features

• Glovebox-Optimized Footprint: The compact 250 × 230 mm base easily passes through standard antechambers of ≥360 mm, eliminating collision risks and maximizing workspace in tight environments.

• Sealed Hydraulic Circuit: Degassed, low-volatility oil prevents vapor contamination in high-purity Ar/N₂ atmospheres, protecting sensitive samples and glovebox media.

• Real-Time MPa Stress Display: Upon entering the actual die diameter on the 7-inch HMI, the system immediately calculates the true contact pressure, converting raw tonnage into actionable surface stress data.

• Dual Independent PID Heating: Symmetrical heating elements in both platens, controlled with ±1 °C accuracy, guarantee uniform sample temperature distribution for consistent thermal processing.

• Water-Cooled Thermal Barrier: An internal cooling chamber beneath the lower platen isolates the hydraulic seals from extreme heat, enabling safe, prolonged dwells at 300 °C and accelerating post-process cooling.

• Zero-Offset Calibration: A one-touch tare function eliminates preloads caused by tooling weight and thermal expansion, ensuring pure processing force readings from a true baseline.

• Ergonomic Manual Operation: A manual lever with a pressure-holding valve maintains the set pressure; a quick manual pumping action restores pressure during long dwell times without interrupting the experiment.

• Flexible Heating Profiles: Configure identical or independent setpoints for the upper and lower platens to accommodate asymmetric samples or specific temperature gradients.

• Custom Die Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of high-hardness steel dies for producing pellets, batteries, and FTIR samples—custom sizes are available upon request.

• CE Safety Compliance: Operates on a standard 220 V/50 Hz single-phase power supply (with optional 110 V/60 Hz configuration) and complies with international safety standards.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product

• Designed for Glovebox Integration: The ultra-compact footprint, degassed hydraulic circuit, and rear-mounted cooling connections are purpose-built for confined, inert-atmosphere environments, rather than being retrofitted.

• Simplified Quantitative Process Control: Direct MPa conversion eliminates guesswork. Researchers can set and monitor actual sample stress, enhancing experimental repeatability and data reliability.

• Long-Term Thermal Reliability: Water-cooled cylinder isolation protects seals from thermal damage, extending the unit's lifespan even during continuous cycles at 300 °C, while dual PID heating ensures uniform sample temperatures.

• CE-Certified Quality and Global Support: Built to international safety standards, with region-specific voltage options and responsive technical support for installation and customization.

• Fast ROI for Research Labs: By minimizing manual calculations and maximizing uptime through robust thermal protection, this press accelerates experimental cycles to help improve overall laboratory productivity.
