Solid-State Battery Research Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press

Introduction

The ZY14 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is engineered specifically for solid-state battery research, advanced polymer lamination, and precision membrane fabrication. Designed for university, corporate, and pharmaceutical laboratories, the ZY14 integrates dual-platen heating, stable hydraulic force, and a circulating cooling mechanism within a space-efficient benchtop footprint. The system provides researchers with a stable platform to compress, cure, and laminate composite specimens under controlled thermal and mechanical conditions.

Key Features and Advantages

• Dual-Zone Thermal Control: Equipped with independent heating elements for the upper and lower platens to ensure uniform temperature distribution up to 300°C.
• Integrated Cooling System: Employs a circulating water cooling design within the platens, enabling rapid thermal stabilization and reducing waiting times between test cycles.
• Digital Parameter Control: Features a 7-inch touchscreen interface for clear monitoring and configuration of target temperature, dwell time, and pressure parameters.
• Rigid Structural Frame: Constructed with high-strength materials to minimize mechanical deflection and maintain parallel alignment of the platens under load.

Technical Specifications

Target Application Areas

• Solid-State Electrolyte Compaction: Facilitates the densification of ceramic, polymer, and composite solid-state electrolyte pellets to minimize interfacial resistance.
• Electrode Laminating: Enables the thermal bonding of cathode and anode active materials onto metallic current collectors under controlled pressure.
• Polymer and Composite Synthesis: Used for curing thermoplastic and thermosetting matrix resins, producing uniform test specimens for tensile and thermal analysis.
• Pharmaceutical Powder Processing: Assists in evaluating the compactability and binder activation of active ingredients and excipients under varying thermal stresses.

Advanced Pressure Maintenance and Control

The ZY14 incorporates an active hydraulic monitoring module designed to address material relaxation during hot-pressing. When fabricating delicate thin films or solid-state cell layers, the polymer or binder phase often undergoes thermal softening, which can cause a drop in compression force. The ZY14 system automatically detects these minute pressure drops and activates its micro-compensation mechanism, maintaining the target pressure within ±0.1 Ton throughout the entire dwell phase. This ensures mechanical consistency and density across all prepared specimens.

Hardware and Software Customization Services

To support specific research methodologies and non-standard testing protocols, the ZY14 platform supports modular hardware and software customization:

• Hardware Modifications: Custom platen dimensions, extended daylight spacing, integrated load cells for higher-resolution feedback, and specialized corrosion-resistant platen coatings for aggressive chemical environments.
• Custom Die Sets: Tailored gap-adjustment molds and pellet dies designed to produce specimens of specific shapes, aspect ratios, or fixed thicknesses.
• Software Adaptations: Custom programming options via the PLC controller, including multi-stage temperature/pressure ramp profiles, and data acquisition ports for exporting real-time test data to laboratory networks.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

The ZY14 is manufactured to align with safety protocols required in academic and industrial laboratory settings:

• CE Certification: The equipment complies with relevant European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
• Thermal Runaway Protection: Features integrated hardware cut-offs and software alarms that automatically terminate power to the heating elements if temperatures exceed the designated operating range.
• Mechanical Overload Protection: Equipped with a hydraulic pressure relief valve to prevent physical over-pressurization beyond the rated 10-ton limit, preserving structural integrity and operator safety.
