Solid-State Battery Electrolyte and Polymer Composite Laboratory Hot Press Machine

Introduction

The MY17 Laboratory Hot Press Machine is a compact, high-precision thermal pressing system designed for academic research and advanced materials development. Driven by a precise electric servo motor system, this unit provides reliable pressure control up to 2 tons without the use of hydraulic oils, reducing contamination risks in cleanroom environments. It is engineered for research applications requiring meticulous temperature and pressure profiles, such as solid-state electrolyte pellet preparation, polymer membrane fabrication, and composite material curing.

Key Features and Advantages

• Oil-Free Servo Motor Drive: Eliminates the risk of hydraulic leaks, making the system suitable for dust-free laboratories and sensitive chemical environments.
• Dual Independent Programmable Heating: Both the upper and lower platens are equipped with individual heating controls and ramp-rate programming, allowing customized thermal gradients.
• Precise Pressure Control: Features automated programmable pressure holding and automatic pressure replenishment to compensate for material shrinkage or expansion during processing.
• Integrated Water Cooling: Built-in cooling channels in the platens facilitate rapid cooling phases, shortening experimental cycle times.
• Intuitive Control Interface: A 7-inch color touchscreen controller simplifies profile configuration, recipe saving, and real-time parameter tracking.

Target Applications

• Solid-State Battery Research: Compacting solid-state electrolyte powders and laminating electrode-electrolyte interfaces under defined thermal and physical loads.
• Polymer & Composite Synthesis: Hot pressing of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer matrices, copolymer blends, and thin-film membranes.
• Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA): Bonding proton exchange membranes, gas diffusion layers, and catalyst layers for hydrogen fuel cell studies.
• Specialized Pharmaceutical Formulations: Compressing bio-polymeric patches, drug delivery matrices, and biodegradable scaffolds under controlled temperatures.
