Overview
Key features
Engineered for pure pressure
- Two-column frame with a rigid, low-deflection structure
- Manual analogue pressure intensity display
- Integral leak-reducing design — no sealing connections
- Compatible with circular, square, splitable and heatable die sets
A compact, high-strength laboratory press engineered for producing high-quality pellets for FTIR, XRF, IR spectroscopy, materials analysis, and general powder compaction. Designed for durability and precision, this press delivers reliable, repeatable pressure ideal for both research and industrial laboratory environments. Built with a rigid multi-column structure and a stable hydraulic system, it provides excellent pressure uniformity, making it suitable for KBr pellets, XRF sample pellets, ceramic powders, geological materials, catalysts, battery powders, pharmaceuticals, and more. CE compliant. Works with all Imperial die sets — circular, splitable, heated (up to 300–500 °C), and square.

Die sets that work with this press
Every model in the range accepts circular, square, splitable and heatable Imperial die sets.

Evacuable Pellet Die Set
Standard (circular)
Designed for producing high-quality pressed pellets for laboratory analysis, including FTIR (such as KBr pellets) and XRF applications. With precision-engineered components and mirror-polished pressing surfaces, they ensure smooth, uniform pellets and reliable analytical results. Available in diameters from 2 mm to 150 mm.

Heatable Pellet Die Set
300 °C – 500 °C, with temperature controller
Designed for pellet preparation under controlled heating conditions, where temperature plays a critical role in pellet quality. Supplied with an integrated temperature controller, they enable precise heating during pressing to enhance pellet uniformity and bonding.

Splitable & Square Die Sets
Fast demoulding and non-circular geometries
Splitable die sets give fast, easy demoulding for complex or delicate pellets. Square die sets support non-circular sample geometries required in specialised testing.

XRF Pressing Die Set
40 mm, with steel ring
Ring die sets provide precise and uniform pellet formation for FTIR and XRF sample preparation, holding the sample in a defined steel ring during compaction.
