LabManualseries
The LabManual series are manually operated hydraulic laboratory presses. These highly acclaimed benchtop devices are used in many laboratories around the world to prepare samples for quality control and R&D purposes.
The LabManual series can – depending on the model 50 or 300 – handle pressing needs up to 50kN and 300kN at 200°C or 300°C, but also allows the use of low closing forces. Whichever settings you choose, the results will prove to be accurate and consistent over time.
Thanks to its modest footprint, the LabManual can easily get installed in any lab. Furthermore, the unit’s closed hydraulics operation prevents oil from leaking. The LabManual is designed with safety in mind, while its ergonomic design and straightforward operation make life easier for laboratory technicians.Fontijne Presses’ LabManual press is the right choice for applications that need accuracy and consistency, but where the number of samples to be processed is moderate, allowing manual operation.
LabEcon series
Fontijne Presses’ floorstanding LabEconseries – available with a press range of 300, 600 or 1000 kN – is an automated hydraulicl aboratory press, which in corporates many features and qualities of the top-of-the-line Lab Proseries.
The critically acclaimed Lab Econ series is known for his accurate and consistent pressing quality, and is there for widely chosen as sample preparation press forquality control and R&D.
Depending on the model – 300, 600, 1000 – the press range goes up to 300, 600 or 1000 kN at 300°C. Regardless of the model or settings used, the results will always be accurate and consistent.
The unit’s small footprint allows it to get installed easily in the lab, while its ergonomic design and straight forward touch screen interface area appreciated by lab technicians. Furthermore, the Lab Econ series in corporates many additional safety features, such as a fixed upperplaten, an emergency stop system and a safety shield.
The LabEcon series is recommended for all demanding quality control and R&D applications where accuracy and consistency are pre requisites.
The LabEcon press is delivered with our ProView control system which includes a 15” touch screen for temperature and closing for control. The large screen area of the Pro View system gives the user a very good view on the settings and progress of the LabEcon aswell as extra comfort to control the unit. It includes an automatic ventingsystem/degassing stroke that allows to vent the unit by automatically opening and closing – after a preset period of time – the press.
The LabEcon press comes with an exhaust or extraction hood thats its on top of the press and can be connected to an existing exhaust system, using the Jacob ø200 mm connection flange.
LabPro
Meet LabPro, a series of highly customizable state-of-the-art laboratory presses. LabPro presses are known for their exquisite and consistent pressing quality and are used in demanding laboratory environments and R&D facilities around the world.
Even though the closing force of the most powerful LabPro model can reach up to more than 5.000 kN, pressings that need much lower closing forces – 10 kN or less – will be handled with the same accuracy and consistency.
The LabPro press is largely automated and is equipped with a user-friendly touch screen control interface. Moreover, the integrated preset builder allows lab technicians to build and store up to 999 press recipes.
Our LabPro series are designed with the safety of the operator in mind. The CE-certified LabPro series therefore incorporates many safety features, such as a fixed upper platen, an emergency stop system and a safety shield.
An extensive range of options is available for the LabPro series, including a unique and very effective vacuum system which allows the use of high temperatures under vacuum conditions.
LabPro is the right choice for the most demanding quality control and R&D applications, as well as for the preparation of specific sample materials that need a custom approach.
The LabPro press is delivered with our ProView control system which includes a 15” touch screen for temperature and closing force control. The large screen area of the ProView system gives the user a very good view on the settings and progress of the LabPro as well as extra comfort to control the unit. It includes an automatic venting system/degassing stroke that allows to vent the unit by automatically opening and closing – after a preset period of time – the press.
