Heat press operating steps and precautions

1.Place the sample into the mold and tighten the screw.

2.When heating exceeds 300°C, the water cooler needs to be turned on to protect the tablet press.

3.Turn on the thermostat's power switch.

Press the (set) key to select the location where the temperature needs to be set.

5.Press the (+) key to increase the temperature value.

Press the (-) key to decrease the temperature value.

7.The mold starts to heat up until the temperature we set.

8.Tighten the oil drain valve stem.

9.Shake the handle to start applying pressure.

10.Press the pressure to the desired pressure and maintain pressure for a period of time.

11.Set the set temperature to 0 to stop heating.

12.Turn on the water cooler and cool down the heating plate.

13.Cool the hot plate to room temperature.

14.Loosen the oil drain valve stem.

15.Open the heated mold.

16.Remove the sample.

Problem 1: Cannot touch the column.

When heating, the mold cannot contact the column of the tablet press, otherwise the temperature will be transferred to the tablet press, causing the mold to fail to heat up normally.

Question 2: Water cooling insulation.

If the heating temperature exceeds 300°C, water-cooling insulation must be used to ensure that the operating temperature of the equipment does not exceed the design limit.

Question 3: Host temperature.

If the temperature of the main unit exceeds 100°C, stop heating immediately and lower the temperature of the main unit back to room temperature. Otherwise, the sealing rubber ring in the main unit will age after long-term operation.

Question 4: Be careful with high temperatures.

When pressurizing, the temperature of the mold accessories is very high. Please do not touch the mold with your hands to avoid burns. Please wear asbestos gloves if you need to touch the mold.

Question 5: Pressure and Temperature.

When the equipment is heated, the hydraulic oil expands due to the increase in the host temperature, and the system pressure will rise. Generally, the temperature of the equipment is constant before the pressure is pressed to the value we need.

Problem 6: The interface is leaking.

Because the temperature of the equipment is too high, the water-cooling interface may sometimes experience water leakage due to thermal deformation of the water-cooling pipe. It is necessary to observe frequently and tighten the water-cooling pipe hose clamp in time.
