EQP-30 Manual Hydraulic Press

The EQP-30 Manual Hydraulic Press is a reliable laboratory instrument specifically designed for the preparation of high-quality, homogeneous, and stable pellets used in analytical techniques such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Built with durability and precision in mind, the EQP-30 provides laboratories with a simple and effective solution for producing pellets with consistent density and cohesion, ensuring reliable analytical results.

Pellet preparation is a critical step in many analytical workflows, as the quality and uniformity of the pellet directly affect the accuracy of the measurement. The EQP-30 addresses this requirement by applying controlled hydraulic pressure to compact powdered samples into stable pellets. This manual press allows operators to carefully manage the pressing process, producing pellets with excellent structural integrity and repeatability.

One of the main advantages of the EQP-30 is its versatility in handling a wide range of pressing tools. The press is compatible with all EQUILAB pressing tools, enabling laboratories to prepare pellets of various diameters depending on the specific analytical requirements. The large pressing area allows the use of pressing tools ranging from 40 mm to 8 mm in diameter, offering flexibility for different types of samples and analytical methods.

The EQP-30 is commonly used to produce pellets for XRF analysis, often incorporating binding agents such as wax or boric acid to improve cohesion and surface quality. In addition, the press can also prepare potassium bromide (KBr) pellets for FTIR spectroscopy, which are widely used in chemical and material characterization laboratories. This capability makes the EQP-30 a versatile instrument suitable for multiple analytical workflows.

The press is capable of delivering pressing forces up to 30 tons, ensuring that samples are compacted with sufficient pressure to create dense and stable pellets. This high pressing force allows laboratories to achieve excellent pellet cohesion even when working with difficult or challenging materials. Whether binding agents are used or not, the EQP-30 ensures that the resulting pellets maintain structural stability during handling and analysis.

Designed for long-term laboratory use, the EQP-30 features a robust and durable mechanical structure capable of withstanding intensive daily operation. The solid construction ensures reliable performance while maintaining precise pressure control throughout the pressing process. Despite its powerful capabilities, the press remains simple to operate, allowing laboratory personnel to prepare pellets quickly and efficiently without complex procedures.

Operator safety is also an important aspect of the EQP-30 design. The press is equipped with two polycarbonate safety doors, which protect the operator during the pressing process while maintaining visibility of the working area. Additional safety components such as a pressure control valve, pressure release valve, and analog manometer ensure that the pressing operation can be carefully monitored and safely controlled at all times.

The analog manometer, calibrated up to 35 tons, provides clear visual feedback of the applied pressure, allowing operators to achieve the desired pressing force with accuracy. This precise pressure control helps ensure repeatable pellet preparation and consistent analytical results across multiple samples.

Thanks to its manual operation, robust construction, and reliable pressing performance, the EQP-30 Manual Hydraulic Press is widely used in laboratories across multiple industries. Its ability to produce high-quality pellets with excellent cohesion makes it an essential piece of equipment for analytical laboratories, research facilities, and industrial quality control environments.

Overall, the EQP-30 provides a practical combination of strength, reliability, safety, and ease of operation. With its capability to handle multiple pellet sizes and generate high pressing forces, it is a dependable solution for laboratories requiring precise and repeatable pellet preparation.
