Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press for Solid-State Battery Electrolytes and Polymer Composites

Introduction

The MY21 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is designed for thermal pressing applications in academic research and advanced materials development, particularly for solid-state battery electrolytes, membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), and polymer matrix composites. This system combines programmable dual-platen PID temperature control with automated hydraulic force management, offering researchers a practical tool for sample preparation under controlled thermal and mechanical conditions.

Key Features

• Dual-Platen Heating Control: Independent PID programmable temperature control for the top and bottom platens up to 300°C, featuring adjustable ramp rate control to manage thermal cycles.
• Automated Pressure Management: Programmable pressure profiles with an automatic pressure holding and replenishment (force compensation) system to maintain a stable load during sample shrinkage or thermal expansion.
• User Interface: An integrated 7-inch color touchscreen controller simplifies setting parameters, monitoring real-time temperature and pressure curves, and storing process profiles.
• Thermal Distribution: Designed to maintain stable thermal distribution within a designated 250 × 250 mm central zone to minimize experimental variations.
• Optional Cooling System Integration: Supports connection to an optional external industrial water chiller for rapid platen cooling to optimize process cycle times.

• Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) Fabrication: Hot pressing of catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) and gas diffusion layers (GDLs) for fuel cell research.
• Polymer Matrix Composites: Curing and consolidating fiber-reinforced thermoplastic or thermoset composite laminates.
• Pharmaceutical and Biomaterial Synthesis: Compacting powder formulations, polymeric drug delivery matrices, or bio-compatible implants under regulated thermal conditions.

Customization Services

To accommodate specific research requirements, both hardware and software configurations for the MY21 hot press can be customized:

• Hardware Modifications: Custom platen dimensions, alternative platen materials (such as stainless steel or specialized alloys), modified daylight gaps, vacuum chamber integrations, or custom piston strokes.
• Software and Control Customization: Custom data logging outputs, specialized communication protocols (such as Modbus or Ethernet), multi-step programming expansions, and user access management tiers.

Safety and Compliance Standards

The MY21 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is built to meet international industrial and laboratory safety standards. It carries the CE mark, indicating compliance with European safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Integrated safety measures include:

• Emergency stop button for immediate power-off.
• Over-temperature protection circuits that automatically cut off heating elements when safe limits are exceeded.
• Protective physical shielding around the compression zone to mitigate hazards during high-pressure cycles.
