Manual 30-Ton Heated Laboratory Press with Water Cooling and 250x350mm Rectangular Platens for Material Compaction

Product Overview

This benchtop hydraulic hot press is engineered for high-tonnage thermal compaction of rectangular samples, combining 30-ton force with integrated 4800W heating and water cooling. It delivers precise digital control over temperature and pressure, enabling reproducible material research and industrial prototyping through closed-loop thermal management.

Ideal for polymer molding, composite fabrication, solid-state battery electrode pressing, and thermoplastic forming, the spacious 250 × 350 mm platens accommodate larger, non-square formats common in advanced materials. Designed for laboratories and R&D facilities in materials science, automotive, aerospace, and energy storage, this system meets demanding production and research requirements.

Built on a massive 230 kg reinforced dual-post gantry frame, this unit maintains parallelism and structural integrity under maximum eccentric loads. The high-power heating network ensures rapid, uniform temperature distribution, while integrated water cooling shortens cycle times. CE certified and backed by KINTEK's expertise in laboratory pressing, it is a premium investment in precision, safety, and long-term reliability.

Key Features

• Reinforced Dual-Post Gantry Frame: Delivers robust resistance to lateral torque, ensuring platen parallelism and long-term structural stability even when processing off-center samples.
• 30-Ton Dual-Stage Manual Hydraulic System: Features a high-efficiency dual-displacement pump that provides rapid approach at low pressure and effortless fine-pressure buildup to full 30-ton force, minimizing operator fatigue.
• 4800W Embedded Heating Network: Dual high-density heaters integrated into upper and lower platens deliver ultra-fast, uniform heating across the entire 250×350 mm workspace up to 300°C, eliminating cold spots.
• IntelliTouch™ 7-Inch Touchscreen Controller: The intuitive HMI allows programming of multi-segment temperature ramps, real-time digital pressure display, and storage of recipes for repeatable processes.
• Integrated Water Cooling Channels: Quick-release ports enable connection to an external water source or chiller for accelerated post-press cooling, reducing cycle times and preventing over-curing.
• 32A Electrical Infrastructure Requirement: This high-power unit draws 21.8A at 220V, requiring a dedicated industrial 32A circuit—it cannot be used with standard 10A/16A outlets, ensuring safe operation and compliance.
• Heavy-Duty Anchoring Requirement: At 230 kg, the press must be mounted on a reinforced steel workbench or concrete pedestal; typical laboratory desks are insufficient. Mechanical lifting equipment is needed during installation.
• Centered Sample Loading Guidance: To prevent off-center loading damage due to the rectangular platen geometry, samples must be positioned at the geometric center, preserving frame integrity and pressure uniformity.
