Laboratory Benchtop Hydraulic Hot Press for Solid State Battery Research

Introduction

The MY12 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is a compact, benchtop thermal compression system designed for high-precision material processing. Developed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of academic and industrial research, this system enables precise, simultaneous application of heat and pressure. It serves as an essential tool for solid-state electrolyte pellet preparation, polymer membrane fabrication, and laminate composite development, ensuring reliable and repeatable experimental results.

Key Features

• Dual-Platen Heating Control: Features independent temperature programming for both the upper and lower platens, allowing users to configure custom ramp rates and dwell times to suit diverse materials.
• Automated Pressure Management: Equipped with an automated hydraulic system capable of executing multi-step pressure profiles, complete with automatic pressure holding and continuous replenishment to offset material relaxation.
• Integrated Water Cooling: Utilizes a built-in circulating water-cooling channel within the platens to facilitate fast, controlled cooling cycles, safeguarding sample integrity and accelerating process throughput.
• Glovebox-Compatible Design: Offers a space-efficient footprint and structured layout, making select configurations suitable for integration into inert gas glovebox environments.

Technical Specifications

Primary Application Areas

• Solid-State Electrolyte Preparation: Compacting ceramic, polymer, or composite electrolyte powders into dense, uniform pellets with high structural homogeneity.
• Membrane Electrode Assemblies (MEA): Hot pressing of proton exchange membranes, gas diffusion layers, and catalyst-coated membranes for fuel cells.
• Polymer and Composite Synthesis: Consolidating thermoplastics, thermosets, and advanced fiber-reinforced laminates under specific temperature and pressure profiles.
• Pharmaceutical and Biochemical Engineering: Preparing thin-film medical patches or compact matrices under uniform heat and compaction.

Customization Services

To accommodate highly specialized research workflows, both the hardware and software of the MY12 platform can be customized:

• Hardware Customization: Options include modifying the platen dimensions, extending the daylight opening, integrating vacuum chambers to prevent sample oxidation, and adapting the physical frame for glovebox mounting.
• Software and Interface Tailoring: The control software can be modified to support customized data-logging formats, specialized pressure-temperature-time profiles, and communication protocols for Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).

Safety and Compliance Standards

• CE Certification: Designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
• Over-Temperature Protection: Features hardware-level thermal cutoffs and software alarms that automatically terminate heating if temperatures exceed pre-set safety thresholds.
• Over-Pressure Relief: Equipped with mechanical safety valves and digital limit-stops to prevent hydraulic over-pressurization beyond the rated 40-ton capacity.
• Emergency Stop: Includes an easily accessible, front-panel mounted emergency stop button to instantly cut power to all heating elements and hydraulic pumps in the event of an anomaly.
