EQP-110 Semiautomatic Pellet Press






The EQP-110 Semiautomatic Pellet Press is a high-performance laboratory instrument specifically developed for the preparation of high-quality, homogeneous, and stable pellets used in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Designed for laboratories that require reliable and repeatable pellet preparation, the EQP-110 combines robust construction, advanced control features, and efficient operation to deliver consistent analytical sample preparation.
The press is engineered to produce 40 mm diameter pellets, the standard size widely used for XRF analysis in industrial and research laboratories. By applying precisely controlled hydraulic pressure, the EQP-110 compacts powdered samples into dense, stable pellets with excellent structural integrity. The resulting pellets ensure reliable analytical results by providing consistent surface quality and uniform density, which are essential for accurate elemental analysis.
One of the key advantages of the EQP-110 is its semiautomatic operation, which simplifies the pellet preparation process while maintaining high productivity. The system allows users to create pellets quickly and efficiently with minimal manual intervention. This improves laboratory workflow and reduces operator effort while ensuring consistent results across multiple samples.
The EQP-110 press is capable of applying pressing forces of up to 40 tons, enabling it to produce pellets with a high degree of cohesion and stability. This high pressure ensures that samples are compacted effectively, whether or not binding agents are used. In many analytical applications, binding agents such as wax may be added to improve pellet integrity, but the EQP-110 can also produce high-quality pellets directly from powdered samples when appropriate.
To enhance pellet quality and minimize potential defects, the press includes a double pressing cycle option. This advanced feature allows the system to perform two pressing stages within the same process. The double cycle helps remove occluded gases trapped within the sample powder, which are a common cause of irregularities, cracks, or structural weaknesses in pellets. By purging these gases during the pressing process, the EQP-110 produces pellets with improved density, stability, and surface finish.
Operation of the EQP-110 is controlled through a 7-inch full-color touchscreen interface, providing a modern and intuitive control system for laboratory personnel. The touchscreen allows users to configure pressing parameters quickly and accurately, ensuring consistent pellet preparation for different sample types. The press supports up to five programmable working programs, allowing laboratories to store optimized pressing settings for routine sample preparation tasks.
The system also allows operators to adjust cycle times and pressure parameters, providing flexibility to adapt the pressing process to specific sample requirements. Whether working with different materials or adjusting for varying sample compositions, the EQP-110 offers the flexibility required for precise pellet preparation.
The mechanical design of the press prioritizes safety and ease of use. Unlike traditional hydraulic presses, the EQP-110 does not require external safety doors because the pressing area is not accessible to the operator during the pellet preparation cycle. This enclosed design eliminates the risk of accidental contact with moving components while maintaining efficient and uninterrupted operation.
Built with robust and durable materials, the EQP-110 is designed for long-term use in demanding laboratory environments. Its powerful hydraulic system, capable of operating at up to 440 bar, ensures consistent performance and reliability even under intensive workloads. The system can produce up to 60 pellets per hour, making it suitable for laboratories with moderate to high sample preparation requirements.
The EQP-110 is widely used in analytical laboratories, industrial quality control laboratories, and research facilities, particularly in industries where XRF analysis is routinely performed. These include cement manufacturing, metallurgy, environmental testing, geology, ceramics production, and recycling industries.
Overall, the EQP-110 Semiautomatic Pellet Press provides laboratories with a safe, productive, and reliable solution for pellet preparation. Its combination of semiautomatic operation, high pressing force, programmable controls, and robust construction ensures consistent pellet quality while improving laboratory productivity and workflow efficiency.
