MultiEQP-100 Metallic Samples Processing Unit

The MultiEQP-100 Metallic Samples Processing Unit is a highly versatile hydraulic system designed for the treatment and preparation of metallic samples in analytical laboratories and industrial environments. Developed as a multipurpose equipment platform, the MultiEQP-100 can perform a wide range of sample preparation processes including cutting, crushing, punching, pressing, chopping, and conforming, making it an essential tool for laboratories handling metallic materials.

Sample preparation is a critical step in many metallurgical and analytical workflows. The MultiEQP-100 addresses this requirement by combining several processing capabilities into a single integrated system, allowing laboratories to perform multiple sample preparation operations efficiently and safely. This multifunctional approach significantly reduces the need for separate equipment while improving laboratory productivity and workflow efficiency.

One of the main advantages of the MultiEQP-100 is its high versatility and modular design. The system can combine up to three independent working stations, each capable of performing different processing tasks depending on the installed tool. These working units allow operators to perform multiple operations within the same equipment, such as pressing pellets, cutting metal samples, crushing materials, or punching test pins.

The system supports several specialized tools designed for different sample preparation methods. For example, the pressing tool can be used to produce pellets of various diameters that can later be analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The punching tool allows operators to produce up to three pins simultaneously, which can be used for analysis in elemental analyzers. The crushing and conforming tools enable the preparation of flat and uniform surfaces for analysis using spark spectrophotometry, ensuring accurate and reliable analytical results.

The MultiEQP-100 also includes a chopping tool, specifically designed for cutting metallic “lollipop” samples by removing the sample stick so that the remaining test piece can be easily processed in automated or robotic laboratory systems. This capability makes the equipment particularly useful in laboratories that use automated sample preparation or robotic analysis systems.

Another key feature of the MultiEQP-100 is its quick and secure tool exchange system, specially developed for EQUILAB presses. This system allows operators to rapidly change between different processing tools while maintaining safe operation and minimizing downtime. As a result, laboratories can easily switch between different sample preparation processes depending on their operational needs.

The equipment is powered by a high-performance hydraulic system capable of generating up to 50 tons of pressure, providing the force required to process metallic samples effectively. This high pressing capacity ensures reliable results when performing demanding operations such as metal pressing, crushing, or forming.

The MultiEQP-100 is also designed with operator safety and productivity in mind. The system includes a safety cabinet constructed from aluminium and polycarbonate, protecting the operator while allowing clear visibility of the processing area. An encoded open-door detection system ensures that the equipment cannot operate while the safety cabinet is open, providing an additional layer of safety during operation.

Control of the entire system is managed through a central control unit equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen display. The intuitive software interface allows operators to easily configure and monitor all processing operations, manage working stations, and store up to five programmable working programs. Each working unit can be operated either through the central control unit or directly from the working station itself, providing flexibility in laboratory workflows.

With its combination of multifunctional capability, powerful hydraulic performance, and advanced control system, the MultiEQP-100 provides laboratories with a highly efficient and productive solution for metallic sample preparation. Its ability to perform multiple processing tasks within a single system makes it a valuable instrument for metallurgical laboratories, industrial testing facilities, and research environments.
