32 Ton fully Automated Lab  Heat Press

Precision Hydraulic Pressing for Advanced Materials Research and Development

The 32 Ton Automated Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press is a high-performance laboratory press designed for precision processing of polymers, composites, laminates, and advanced materials. Combining up to 300 kN of hydraulic pressing force with programmable temperature, pressure, heating, cooling, and degassing control, this system delivers the accuracy and repeatability required for modern research, development, and quality control environments.

 

Designed for universities, research institutes, material testing laboratories, and industrial R&D facilities, the press provides fully automated operation through an intuitive touchscreen control system. Users can create, store, and recall custom processing recipes, enabling consistent results across development, testing, and small-scale production applications.

A rigid precision-engineered frame, heated platens capable of reaching temperatures up to 300°C, integrated water-cooling channels, and advanced process control software make this press suitable for demanding applications where accurate temperature management and force control are critical.
