Lab Precise Hydraulic Platen Press

The Lab Precise Hydraulic Platen Press is a high-performance research and production tool designed for rubber vulcanization, thermosetting material processing, and composite thermoforming. With its precision hydraulic system, PID-controlled heating, and automated pressure management, it enables reproducible sample preparation for R&D, quality control, and small-batch production. Ideal for laboratories and pilot plants, it supports material development, process optimization, and educational training.  

Applications of Precise Hydraulic Platen Press

1. Rubber & Elastomer Processing

– Vulcanization** of natural rubber (NR), SBR, NBR, EPDM, and silicone  

– Curing studies** for tire treads, seals, gaskets, and industrial rubber products  

– Rubber formula optimization** (filler effects, cross-linking efficiency)  

2. Thermoset & Composite Manufacturing 

– Compression molding** of phenolic, epoxy, and BMC materials  

– Prepreg curing** for lightweight composites (carbon fiber, fiberglass)  

– Thermoforming** of thermoplastic sheets (PP, PET, ABS)  

3. Research & Development  

– Vulcanization kinetics analysis (T90, scorch time)  

– Process parameter optimization (pressure, temperature, dwell time)  

– Prototyping** of O-rings, gaskets, and custom rubber/plastic parts  

Main Features & Advantages  

1. High-Precision Hydraulic System 

– Automatic pressure compensation** ensures consistent molding force (±1% accuracy).  

– Programmable pressure profiles for multi-stage curing processes.  

– Overload protection** with hydraulic relief valve for safe operation.  

2. Precision Temperature Control  

– PID-regulated electric heating(up to 300°C with ±2°C uniformity.  

– Fast heat-up (<15 min to 200°C) with dual-zone heating for platen consistency.  

– Digital temperature display with real-time monitoring and alarms.  

3. Robust Mechanical Design  

– High-wear-resistant guide posts for stable, wobble-free platen movement.  

– Hardened steel platens (mirror-polished option available) for smooth demolding.  

– Adjustable open height (0-150mm) for thick molds or multi-layer samples.  

4. Smart Automation 

– Programmable timer for auto pressure release after curing.  

– One-touch operation with manual/auto mode switching.  

– Safety interlock** to prevent operation when open.  

5. User-Friendly Design  

– Compact footprint for lab installations.  

– Low energy consumption (2.2kW motor).  

– Easy mold mounting with T-slots or bolt-fastening options.
