Automatic Hydraulic Press
Precision-Engineered Pellet Press for IR/FTIR/XRF Sample Preparation
Athena Instruments introduces the Automatic Hydraulic Press, a robust and precision-driven pellet press specifically designed for the automated compaction of solid samples used in IR, FTIR, and XRF analysis. Built with industrial-grade materials and advanced hydraulic control, this compact press delivers uniform pressure, enhanced safety, and consistent pellet quality across pharmaceutical, petrochemical, environmental, and research laboratories.
Available in multiple tonnage capacities (15T, 25T, and 40T), the press is engineered for stability, automation, and ease of use. All models are thoroughly tested for pressure stability and certified to meet global quality and safety standards including CE, ISO 9001:2015, and FDA.
Key Features :
- High-Grade Construction : Built with a powder-coated metallic body and precision-machined hydraulic assembly for long-term durability and minimal maintenance.
- Fully Automatic Operation : Integrated with a digital timer and pressure control, the press ensures automatic pressing and ram retraction for reliable sample formation.
- Dual Mode Functionality : Supports both automatic and manual operation, allowing users to control ejection manually when required.
- Stable Pressure Delivery : Ensures consistent pressure hold (≤1 MPa / 5 min) to support accurate and uniform pellet formation.
- Enhanced Safety Design : Equipped with a transparent polycarbonate safety shield, emergency stop button, stroke limiter, and electronic interlocks for operator protection.
- Compact & Efficient : Designed for space-constrained labs with a modular layout, offering easy setup, safe operation, and smooth sample handling.
