15T Hydraulic Press for Powder Compacting / R&D Lab

This 15T Hydraulic Press is primarily used for research and production in laboratories, particularly in stages requiring powder compaction, such as in battery materials, ceramics, and metallurgy.

Core Features and Design

Core Principle: Operates based on the mechanical lever principle, with adjustable pressure ranging from 0 to 15 tons (0-30 MPa).

Core Structure: The main unit is made of 304 stainless steel with an environmentally friendly painted exterior, featuring a four-pillar design that minimizes sealed connections and reduces the risk of oil leakage.

Direct Display: The pressure gauge can directly display the pressure value and intensity, allowing operators to monitor in real time.

Portable dimensions: The unit weighs approximately 40 kilograms, with external dimensions of 245 millimeters (length) x 175 millimeters (width) x 390 millimeters (height).

Pressure range (0-15T/0-30MPa): A high pressure strength of 30 megapascals means it can handle powder materials with high hardness or requiring high-density molding, such as certain metal ceramics and hard alloy raw materials. The laboratory can infinitely adjust the applied pressure as needed.

Workspace (80x130mm): This opening size determines the maximum flat size of the mold or sample that you can place. You need to ensure that your mold or sample box can fit into this space.

Pressure stability (≤ 1MPa/10min): This is a key performance indicator that indicates a slow natural decrease in pressure during the holding phase (such as maintaining pressure after compression). High stability helps to obtain compression molded samples with uniform density and consistent quality.

Four column structure&integral structure: The four column design ensures the parallelism and stability of the pressure plate during up and down movement, which is crucial for obtaining a uniformly thick billet. The design concept of "unsealed connection" aims to reduce the risk of hydraulic oil leakage and lower maintenance requirements.

Product Design Details and Operational Considerations

Operation method: As a manual hydraulic press, its core mechanism involves driving the hydraulic pump through a hand-operated lever to generate pressure. This means the operator's experience and sense of touch will influence the pressurization process, making it suitable for flexible laboratory use with small batches and diverse product types.

Display and Reading: The included pressure gauge simultaneously displays pressure (tons) and pressure (megapascals), allowing operators to read directly without additional conversion. Ensure the accuracy and range of the pressure gauge meet your experimental precision requirements when purchasing.

Material and Craftsmanship: The main body is made of 304 stainless steel, offering excellent rust and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in laboratory environments where exposure to chemical reagents may occur. The environmentally friendly painted exterior primarily serves protective and aesthetic functions.

Typical application scenario extension

This press is a typical laboratory level equipment, which is very suitable for sample preparation in the following fields:

Research and development of battery materials: used to press test pellets for battery positive and negative electrode materials (such as lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, graphite, etc.) for subsequent electrochemical performance testing.

Powder metallurgy: Preparation of green compacts of metal powders (such as iron-based and copper based) for sintering experiments.

Ceramic materials: the initial embryo of various ceramic powders (such as alumina and silicon nitride) pressed.

Chemical research: Preparation of KBr pellets for infrared spectroscopy analysis, or compression of other solid samples for X-ray diffraction (XRD) and other tests.

Teaching and Research: Used for student experiments and research projects in materials science, chemical engineering, and related majors in university or research laboratories.
