Laboratory Manual Hot Press for Battery Research and Material Science

Product Overview

This manual hot press provides exceptional thermal and mechanical processing capabilities for laboratory-scale material research and small-lot production. Engineered with a robust 30-ton hydraulic system and heated platens reaching 300°C, it is purpose-built for compression molding, hot embossing, powder compaction, and lamination tasks. The integrated water-cooling circuit enables rapid temperature cycling, boosting productivity while safeguarding heat-sensitive molds. Designed for versatility, this system accommodates a wide array of sample types and mold configurations, making it an indispensable tool in advanced material development.

The equipment’s heavy-duty steel frame and precision-ground platens ensure consistent pressure distribution and platen parallelism, even at full load. These qualities are critical for producing uniform samples with minimal thickness variation, which is essential for reliable experimental data and high-quality end products. The manually operated hydraulic pump offers intuitive, step-free pressure control, allowing operators to fine-tune force application during delicate processes such as thin-film lamination or brittle material densification.

From academic research laboratories to industrial R&D facilities, this reliable press supports demanding workflows where repeatability and precision are non-negotiable. Its straightforward design and durable components translate to low maintenance requirements and a long service life, providing a cost-effective solution for institutions seeking high-performance hot pressing without complex automation.

Key Features

• 30-Ton Hydraulic Force: A high-capacity, manually operated hydraulic cylinder delivers up to 30 tons (approximately 300 kN) of pressing force. This substantial pressure allows for effective compaction of even hard-to-press materials and supports large-area samples or multi-cavity molds.
• Rapid Heating with 3500W Power: The integrated 3500-watt heating element ensures fast heat-up from ambient to the maximum temperature of 300°C. This reduces waiting time between experiments and improves overall lab throughput.
• Precision Temperature Control: Advanced thermal regulation maintains stable plate temperatures with minimal overshoot, ensuring consistent material properties across the entire batch. Uniform heat distribution across the 300×300 mm platen area minimizes temperature gradients.
• Circulating Water Cooling: Built-in water channels in the platens allow quick cooling after the heating cycle. This not only accelerates the process but also protects the hydraulic seals and platens from prolonged exposure to heat, extending component life.
• Large Platen Area: With a platen size of 300 × 300 mm, this press can handle larger samples or multiple small specimens in a single pressing cycle, increasing productivity in sample preparation.
• Adjustable Daylight (150 mm): The piston stroke of 150 mm and adjustable platen gap accommodate molds and samples of varying heights, from thin films to thicker composite sheets, offering flexibility in experimental setups.
• Rigid Steel Construction: The frame is fabricated from high-grade steel, precision welded and stress-relieved to eliminate flexing under load. This ensures excellent platen alignment and long-term dimensional stability.
• User-Friendly Manual Controls: Simple, hand-operated hydraulic valves and an analog pressure gauge provide direct, real-time feedback, enabling precise force adjustment without electronic complexity—ideal for educational and research settings.
• Global Power Compatibility: Available in both 220 V / 50 Hz and 220 V / 60 Hz configurations to match local electrical standards, simplifying international procurement and installation.
• Safety Features: Includes a protective shield and overload valve to safeguard operators and the equipment during high-pressure operation.
