Product Overview
This automatic hydraulic hot press is engineered to streamline laboratory pressing workflows by combining high-force capacity, precise thermal regulation, and user-friendly automation. With 15 tons of hydraulic pressure and a large 400x400mm pressing area, it delivers uniform force across samples, while independently heated platens ensure consistent temperature profiles from ambient to 200°C. The result is a system that reduces manual intervention, increases throughput, and guarantees reproducible results even during continuous operation.
Designed for versatile applications, this press excels in XRF pellet preparation, polymer film fabrication, hot embossing, laminating, and battery research. Its programmable controls and data logging capabilities make it an ideal tool for both R&D and quality control environments, where traceability and repeatability are paramount. The automatic operation allows technicians to load a program and walk away, significantly improving productivity in busy labs.
Constructed from heavy-duty structural components and certified to CE standards, this unit is built to withstand years of demanding daily use. Precision-machined platens, robust hydraulics, and a reinforced frame minimize flex and drift, while advanced safety interlocks protect operators. Whether used for routine sample preparation or cutting-edge material development, this press offers the reliability and performance needed for critical results.
Key Features
- Independent Dual Heated Platens: Each 400x400mm platen is equipped with its own heating element and sensor, allowing independent temperature settings up to 200°C. This design enables asymmetric heating profiles or identical dual-zone uniformity, critical for materials with specific thermal requirements and for achieving consistent film thicknesses.
- Programmable Touchscreen Control: The 7-inch PID touchscreen provides an intuitive English-language interface for creating, storing, and executing multi-step pressing programs. Advanced data logging records temperature and pressure profiles in real time, while USB export facilitates quality documentation and process optimization. The controller’s closed-loop feedback ensures deviations stay within ±1°C.
- High-Force Hydraulic System: Capable of delivering up to 15 tons with a smooth, controlled ramp, the hydraulic system ensures even pressure distribution across the platen area. The 0–15 ton range accommodates delicate sample prep as well as high-compaction needs, and the system maintains setpoint with minimal pressure drop.
- Rapid Cooling Circuit: Integrated water channels in the platens connect to an external circulating chiller (optional or included) to enable rapid cool-down from 200°C to safe handling temperatures in minutes. This feature not only accelerates cycle times but also improves film morphology by quenching, benefiting applications like polymer film creation.
- Safety Interlock Mechanism: A door sensor immediately cuts power to both the heating and pressure systems when the access door is opened, preventing accidental contact with hot surfaces or moving platens. This interlock is designed to fail-safe, ensuring compliance with laboratory safety protocols.
- Robust Frame Construction: Welded steel frame and thick platens resist deflection under full load, maintaining parallelism and surface flatness after thousands of cycles. This rigidity is essential for producing samples with uniform thickness and density, and it extends the life of consumable tooling.
- CE Certified Compliance: The entire system has been tested and certified to applicable European health, safety, and environmental protection standards, providing assurance of dependable performance and legal conformity for international labs.
- Flexible Configuration Options: The press is available in two primary configurations: XP88-1 includes a dedicated chiller and operates on single-phase power, while XP88-2 is a standalone unit requiring three-phase power and supports an optional chiller. This flexibility lets labs choose the optimal setup for their infrastructure and throughput needs.
