FAQ

What is a lab press?

A lab press, also known as a laboratory press, is a machine used to create compressed pellets from powdered material for various applications such as pharmaceutical development, spectroscopy, and bomb calorimetry. The powders are placed into a die and are pressed into shape by hydraulic action. Lab presses can have a wide range of pressures, from 15 to 200 metric tons, and can accommodate a wide range of different-sized or customized dies. They are commonly used in industries such as pharmaceutical, laminating, rubber and plastic molding, and for R&D work, testing, short runs, limited production, cell manufacturing, and lean manufacturing.

What is the purpose of a hydraulic press in lab?

A hydraulic press in the laboratory is used to test the strength and durability of materials, investigate the effects of high pressure on different substances, and create pellets for sample analysis. It is a machine that uses fluid pressure to generate a force, which can be used to compress or mold materials. Laboratory hydraulic presses are smaller versions of industrial machines that offer more precision and control. They are commonly used to create KBr pellets for FTIR and general sample pellets for XRF in order to study the elemental composition of materials.

What is a press mold?

A press mold is a device used in material processing methods such as cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and metal mold pressing to create molded bodies from powder materials. In CIP, the mold containing the powder is immersed in a pressure medium, and isostatic pressure is applied to the outer surfaces of the mold to compress the powder into a shape. Metal mold pressing applies only uniaxial pressure to the powder material to create molded bodies. CIP can produce products with uniform density and homogeneity due to no frictions with a metal mold.

What are different type of lab presses?

Different types of laboratory presses include manual hydraulic presses, automated hydraulic presses. Manual hydraulic presses use hand-operated levers to apply pressure, while automated presses are equipped with programmable controls to press products more accurately and consistently. When selecting a hydraulic press, it is important to consider the amount of force needed for a specific sample, how much space is provided in the lab, and how much energy and strength is required to pump the press.

What is press Mould in ceramics?

Press moulding is a ceramic forming technique that involves the compaction of powders by applying either a rigid or flexible pressure. It can be either uniaxial or isostatic, depending on the shape required. Isostatic pressing is used for shapes that cannot be obtained by uniaxial pressing or for added value products that require high density and isotropic green bodies. The molds for axial-pressing are usually made of steel, while those for isostatic pressing are made of elastomers, silicone, and polyurethanes. This technology is applied in various fields like ceramics, MMC, CMC, and Silicon nitride for cutting tools, components of heavy-duty valves, wear parts for process technology, and more.

How do you prepare pressed pellets for XRF?

Pressed pellets for XRF analysis are prepared by grinding the sample to a fine particle size and mixing it with a binder or grinding aid. The mixture is then poured into a pressing die and compressed at a pressure of between 15 and 35T. The resulting pellet is ready for analysis. It is important to consider the particle size of the sample, choice of binder, sample dilution ratio, pressure used for pressing, and the thickness of the pellet when designing a sample preparation recipe. Consistency in the preparation procedure is key to ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

How are pellet molds used?

To use a pellet mold, the powdered or granular material is first loaded into the mold cavity. The material is then compacted by applying pressure using a laboratory press or hydraulic machine. The pressure causes the material to conform to the shape of the mold, resulting in a solid pellet or cylindrical sample. After the compaction process, the pellet is removed from the mold and can be further processed or analyzed as needed.

What pressure should XRF pellets be?

XRF pellets should be pressed at pressures between 15 and 40 tons for 1-2 minutes to ensure that the binder recrystallizes and that there are no void spaces present in the pellet. The pressure applied by the hydraulic press should be enough for the sample to be completely compressed. The thickness of the pellet is also crucial, as it must be infinitely thick to the X-rays. Working with small particle sizes (<50µm or <75µm) is also important for effective analysis. These factors impact how well the sample binds together under pressure, which affects the analytical results.

What types of materials can be pelletized using pellet molds?

Pellet molds can be used to pelletize a wide range of materials, including but not limited to powders, granules, metals, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. They are particularly useful for materials that require compaction or shaping before further analysis or processing. Pelletizing materials can improve their flow properties, density, and handling characteristics, making them suitable for applications such as tabletting, catalyst preparation, fuel pellet production, and sample preparation for spectroscopic or analytical techniques.

What is the advantage of XRF pressed pellet technique?

The advantage of XRF pressed pellet technique is that it produces high-quality results with a higher signal-to-noise ratio, allowing for the detection of even the lightest elements. Quantifying the elemental composition without pressed pellets can lead to significant discrepancies between expected and actual values. The grinding of the sample into fine particles and compressing it into a smooth and flat XRF pellet reduces background scattering and improves the detection of emissions. Pressed pellets are also relatively quick, low-cost, and lend themselves to simple and cost-effective automation for higher throughput laboratories.

How can one select the appropriate pellet mold for their specific application?

Pellet molds can be used to pelletize a wide range of materials, including but not limited to powders, granules, metals, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. They are particularly useful for materials that require compaction or shaping before further analysis or processing. Pelletizing materials can improve their flow properties, density, and handling characteristics, making them suitable for applications such as tabletting, catalyst preparation, fuel pellet production, and sample preparation for spectroscopic or analytical techniques.
