Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine for Solid-State Battery Research

Introduction

The ZY11 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is designed for high-precision thermal pressing applications in advanced materials research, particularly in the fabrication and characterization of solid-state battery components. By combining controlled hydraulic pressure with heated platens, the system assists researchers in compacting solid-state electrolyte materials, preparing polymer membranes, and studying composite laminates under precise thermomechanical conditions. Its benchtop footprint makes it suitable for integration into university research laboratories and pharmaceutical R&D facilities.

Key Features and Advantages

• Dual-Zone Thermal Management: Equipped with independently heated upper and lower platens (1800W each), maintaining uniform thermal distribution up to 300°C.
• Integrated Rapid Cooling: Features a circulating water cooling system to facilitate controlled cooling rates and reduce cycle times between experiments.
• Automated Pressure Control: Supports automatic pressure holding and real-time pressure compensation, which maintains a stable force profile during material thermal expansion or contraction.
• High-Resolution Monitoring: An optional digital pressure sensor with 0.2% Full Scale (FS) accuracy allows for precise tracking and logging of applied force.
