BENCH MOUNTED ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC PRESS FOR PREPARING POWDER SAMPLES FOR X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS.

Designed with operator safety in mind. Downward movement of the hydraulic ram is initiated by two push buttons, one on each side of the press unit. These have to be actuated in unison thereby requiring both hands of the operator to be occupied out of the harms way.

XRF PRESS is a bench mounted, two piece, high pressure, electro-hydraulic actuated press for laboratory use in the preparation of the pressed powder samples for X-Ray fluorescence analysis. It is made up as a press unit and a separate 240 volt, single phase, electro-hydraulic powder pack. The press unit is designed for free standing on the customer's bench top with the separate power pack placed within a 3 meter hose length of the press unit. The most frequently used location for the power pack is in the bench area beneath the press unit. These have to be actuated in unison thereby requiring both hands of the operator to be occupied out of harms way. The unit moves in to "automatic" mode  once the press has closed, allowing the unit to run unattended to complete its cycle automatically. The automatic cycle assures each sample is subjected to the same pre-set pressure for the same time span...giving optimum repeatability, automatically.
