Laboratory press designed for pressing or helping to form samples between two platens.
Two digital temperature controllers enable the platens to be heated or cooled and even set process times for heating and cooling.
A digital panel meter is used to display the compression force (kgf) enabling fast and accurate operation.
Applications
Moulding plastic
Moulding rubber
Moulding composites

Dimensions and weight may vary according to particular model chosen
Connections
Electrical: 415 VAC @ 50 Hz, 3 phase, or as per client
Hydraulic Pump
The HLP as standard is fitted with a hydraulic hand pump that provides a low cost efficient means for manually developing or increasing the pressure.
The pump is supplied with an internal pressure relief valve.
An optional electric pump is also available to raise and lower the platen if ordered.
Controls
The control panel is fitted with a digital display that specifies in kgf to give you an indication of how much force you are applying.
Two temperature controllers for the upper and lower platens are also fitted and display the set point and the actual temperature when running.
When the water-cooling option is ordered a timer is also supplied for turning on the water to cool the platens to ambient after a pre-set heating time.
Tonnage Options
This press comes in different tonnages: 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 tons
