Solid State Battery Research Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine

Introduction

The Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine MY11 is a benchtop pressing system designed for materials science research, particularly in solid-state battery electrolytes, membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), and advanced composite laminates. Featuring dual-platen independent programmable heating up to 500°C and a robust 40-ton hydraulic press, the MY11 provides researchers in university and industrial laboratories with a stable platform for thermal compression molding, polymer curing, and electrode lamination.

Key Features and Advantages

• Independent Dual-Platen Heating: Features separate PID programmable controllers for the upper and lower platens, allowing precise thermal profile management up to 500°C.
• Closed-Loop Pressure Control: Utilizes a programmable hydraulic control system with integrated pressure-holding and automatic compensation to prevent pressure drop during material deformation or thermal contraction.
• Intuitive Touchscreen Operation: Equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen interface that supports real-time monitoring of temperature-pressure-time curves and multi-segment recipe storage.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with high-rigidity structural steel and precision-ground platens to ensure uniform pressure distribution and minimal deflection under high loads.

Technical Specifications

The core specifications of the MY11 hot press are detailed in the table below:

Application Areas

The MY11 is tailored to support a wide range of preparation and processing techniques in academic and clinical research environments:

• Solid-State Electrolyte Fabrication: Hot-pressing of polymer, ceramic-plastic composite, and sulfide-based solid-state electrolyte sheets.
• Fuel Cell Electrode Assembly: Thermal lamination of proton exchange membranes, gas diffusion layers, and catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs).
• Polymer Composite Development: Compression molding of high-temperature thermoplastics, fiber-reinforced resins, and elastomer curing.
• Biomedical Material Synthesis: Thermal shaping of biocompatible polymer scaffolds and degradable implant materials under controlled pressure.

Customization Options

To accommodate specific experimental protocols, the MY11 offers modular hardware and software customization:

• Hardware Modularity: Optional water-cooling or air-cooling circuits can be integrated into the platens to enable rapid cooling cycles. Customized platen dimensions, vacuum chambers for oxygen-sensitive materials, and specialized mold fixtures are available upon request.
• Software Integration: The control system can be customized to include secondary data logging protocols, USB/Ethernet data export functions, and compatibility with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for digital record keeping.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

The MY11 is engineered with multi-layered safety mechanisms to meet stringent institutional laboratory safety audits:

• Physical Protective Enclosure: Equipped with a high-strength transparent safety shield to isolate the compression zone during operation.
• Thermal Protection: Dual-channel hardware thermal cut-outs prevent runaway heating, protecting both the operator and the heating elements.
• Overpressure Interlock: Integrated digital pressure relief valves automatically halt the hydraulic pump if the system detects pressure exceeding the maximum safety threshold.
• Emergency Stop: A prominently positioned physical E-stop button instantly cuts power to both the heating elements and the hydraulic drive.
• Standards Compliance: Designed in accordance with international machinery safety directives, low-voltage directives, and electromagnetic compatibility standards, ensuring a safe operation path for academic and public research institutions.
