Solid-State Battery and Polymer Electrolyte Development Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine

Introduction

The ZY12 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is an instrument designed for high-precision thermal pressing applications in advanced materials research. It is engineered to assist researchers in fabricating solid-state battery electrolytes, composite membranes, polymer films, and electrode laminates. Equipped with dual-heating platens and an integrated water-cooling loop, the unit provides the stable temperature and pressure control required for repeatable experimental workflows in academic and industrial laboratories.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Precise Thermal Management: Features dual heated platens with independent temperature monitoring and control up to 300 °C.
• Active Cooling Loop: Integrated water circulation channels facilitate controlled cooling rates, reducing cycle times and assisting with temperature-sensitive samples.
• Automatic Pressure Compensation: Built-in hydraulic stabilization automatically maintains the pre-set force (up to 15 T) during sample compaction or thermal shrinkage, ensuring pressure consistency over extended dwell times.
• Compact Benchtop Footprint: The space-efficient physical layout allows integration into standard laboratory fume hoods or workbenches.

Technical Specifications

Target Application Areas

• Solid-State Battery Research: Compacting solid-state electrolyte powders (such as sulfides, oxides, or polymer-based composites) and laminating polymer electrolyte membranes onto electrode sheets.
• Advanced Polymer and Composite Development: Thermo-plastic curing, polymer film extrusion modeling, and fabricating lightweight composite sheets.
• Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC): Pressing catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) and gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) under regulated temperature and pressure.

Customization and Laboratory Integration

We offer optional modifications for both hardware and software configurations to meet specific laboratory protocols and specialized environments:

• Hardware Customization: Customized platen dimensions, extended daylight clearance, and alternative cooling/heating systems (such as rapid air-cooling or specialized thermal oils) are available upon request.
• Software and Controls: Support for custom PLC human-machine interfaces (HMI), multi-segment heating and pressure profiles, and serial communication protocols for remote data logging.

Safety Standards and Regulatory Compliance

The ZY12 hot press is engineered with multiple safety features to support integration into standard laboratory environments:

• CE Certification: The equipment conforms to standard European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
• Over-Temperature Protection: Automatic shutdown protocols activate if temperatures exceed designated limits, mitigating risks during extended experiments.
• Physical Protection: Optional safety enclosures and interlocks restrict physical access to the pressing zone during high-pressure cycles.
