EQP-110 Semiautomatic Pellet Press

Here’s the rewrite:

The EQP-110 is a semiautomatic pellet press developed for the preparation of high-quality, homogeneous, and stable pellets for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Designed for laboratories that require reliable and repeatable sample preparation, it combines robust construction, precise pressure control, and an intuitive interface to deliver consistent results across demanding daily workloads.

The press produces 40 mm diameter pellets, the standard size widely used for XRF analysis in industrial and research laboratories. Precisely controlled hydraulic pressure compacts powdered samples into dense, stable pellets with consistent surface quality and uniform density, both of which are essential for accurate elemental analysis. The system is capable of applying pressing forces of up to 40 tons and operates at hydraulic pressures of up to 440 bar, ensuring effective compaction across a wide range of sample types whether or not binding agents are used.

A double pressing cycle option is available to further improve pellet quality. This feature performs two pressing stages within the same process, helping to purge occluded gases trapped within the sample powder. Trapped gases are a common cause of cracks, surface irregularities, and structural weaknesses in finished pellets, and removing them during the pressing cycle results in improved density, stability, and surface finish. For laboratories where pellet quality directly affects the accuracy of downstream XRF analysis, this capability is a practical and valuable advantage.

The EQP-110 is controlled through a 7-inch full-colour touchscreen interface that allows operators to configure pressing parameters quickly and accurately. Up to five programmable working programs can be stored, allowing laboratories to save optimised settings for routine sample types and recall them without reconfiguring the system each time. Cycle times and pressure parameters are fully adjustable, providing the flexibility to adapt the pressing process to different materials and sample compositions as required.

The mechanical design of the press prioritises both safety and operational efficiency. The pressing area is not accessible to the operator during the pellet preparation cycle, eliminating the need for external safety doors while preventing accidental contact with moving components. This enclosed design allows the system to operate continuously and without interruption, contributing to a throughput of up to 60 pellets per hour, making it well suited to laboratories with moderate to high sample preparation demands.

The EQP-110 is used across a broad range of industries where XRF analysis is routinely performed, including cement manufacturing, metallurgy, environmental testing, geology, ceramics production, and recycling. Its combination of semiautomatic operation, high pressing force, programmable controls, and durable construction makes it a reliable long-term solution for any analytical laboratory where consistent pellet quality and workflow efficiency are ongoing priorities.

The EQP-110 is controlled through a modern digital system built around a 7-inch full-colour touchscreen interface. The software allows operators to store up to five programmable pressing programs, configure pressing pressure and cycle time, and select between single or double pressing cycles depending on the requirements of each sample type. Real-time monitoring of the pressing process gives operators visibility over each cycle as it runs, supporting consistent and repeatable pellet production across every batch.

The touchscreen interface is designed to be straightforward to navigate, reducing the time needed to set up and adjust the system between samples. For laboratories processing a variety of sample types on a routine basis, the ability to store, recall, and modify pressing programs quickly is a practical advantage that reduces operator effort and helps maintain the consistency that accurate XRF analysis depends on.
