Solid-State Battery Research Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine

Introduction

The MY15 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is engineered to assist researchers in advanced materials science, specifically in the development of solid-state battery electrolytes, composite electrodes, and laminated functional materials. Utilizing a compact benchtop footprint, this system integrates dual-platen independent heating, programmable hydraulic force application, and active water cooling. The instrument is designed to provide stable, repeatable temperature and pressure profiles, helping academic and industrial researchers achieve consistent material density and interface contact during specimen preparation.

Key Features and Advantages

• Dual-Platen Heating System: Features a 5000W heating capacity split between the upper and lower platens, allowing independent temperature profiles up to 300°C with controlled ramp and soak cycles.
• Programmable Pressure & Dwell Control: Supports multi-segment pressure profiles, enabling gradual force loading, designated dwell times, and controlled pressure release to prevent fracturing in brittle ceramic or composite samples.
• Automatic Pressure Compensation: Outfitted with an active hydraulic monitoring loop that automatically detects pressure decay and replenishes hydraulic force to maintain the target setpoint during long-term dwell cycles.
• Integrated Water Cooling: Features internal cooling channels within the platens to accelerate sample cooling post-pressing, allowing faster sample retrieval and protecting temperature-sensitive microstructures.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

The MY15 is configured to meet the sample preparation needs of university laboratories, research institutes, and materials testing facilities:

• Solid-State Battery R&D: Compacting sulfide, oxide, or polymer-based solid electrolyte membranes and laminating them with electrode materials to reduce interfacial resistance.
• Polymer and Resin Matrix Composites: Curing and consolidating thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer sheets under precise temperature and pressure profiles.
• Fuel Cell Components: Hot-pressing membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and bonding catalyst-coated membranes to gas diffusion layers.
• Biomedical Material Synthesis: Compressing biocompatible polymers and scaffolds under regulated thermal conditions to maintain structural integrity.

Customization Options

To support diverse experimental setups and highly specific research methodologies, the MY15 platform offers modular hardware and software customization:

• Hardware Tailoring: Options for alternative platen dimensions, extended daylight openings for thicker molds, vacuum chamber enclosures for oxygen-sensitive materials, and high-precision load cells for lower-force applications.
• Software and Connectivity: Customizable PLC touchscreen interfaces, specialized data logging packages (such as CSV/Excel export via USB or Ethernet), and remote monitoring capabilities to log real-time pressure-temperature-time curves.
• Electrical Adaptability: Factory configuration for global power supply standards, including single-phase or three-phase electrical connections suited to specific laboratory utility constraints.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Standards

Laboratory safety is a core priority for high-pressure and thermal processing equipment. The MY15 is manufactured to comply with rigorous safety guidelines:

• CE Conformity: Constructed in accordance with European Union safety directives, including the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU.
• Operational Safeguards: Equipped with an easily accessible physical emergency stop button, automatic over-pressure relief valves, and digital over-temperature alarms to halt operation if limits are exceeded.
• Physical Protection: Designed with structural shielding around the high-temperature platens to minimize thermal radiation and reduce the risk of accidental contact during high-temperature cycles.
