Across International Lab Heated Die Series w/ Digital Controller

Across International Heated Dies with Digital Controller

(Up to 76mm ID)

Precision Heated Pressing for Enhanced Sample Preparation

Across International heated die sets with programmable digital temperature controllers deliver advanced capabilities for creating cylinder-shaped pellets with simultaneous heat and pressure application. Available in four diameter configurations—13mm, 25mm, 50mm, and 76mm—these hardened steel dry pressing die sets accommodate maximum pressures from 20 tons to 300 tons, making them suitable for diverse sample preparation requirements from small research samples to larger production quantities. Each die set features integrated heating systems with programmable digital temperature control allowing precise heating up to 250°C in 1°C increments, with rapid temperature sampling three times per second and ±1% accuracy ensuring consistent thermal management throughout the pressing process. The combination of controlled heat and pressure enables superior sample consolidation, particularly beneficial for materials requiring elevated temperatures to achieve optimal binding or when preparing samples for spectroscopic analysis where heat treatment improves pellet quality and stability.

Hardened Steel Construction for Industrial Durability

Engineered from premium hardened carbon tool and mold steels, these die sets provide exceptional durability and dimensional precision for demanding laboratory and industrial applications. The 13mm and 25mm models feature W18Cr4V hardened carbon tool steel for core dies and push rods combined with Cr12 hardened carbon mold steel for sleeves, ejectors, and supports, while the 50mm and 76mm models utilize Cr12 hardened carbon mold steel throughout for robust performance. All models achieve Rockwell Hardness Rc 62, ensuring resistance to wear and deformation even under extreme pressure conditions, with pressing die tolerances maintained at an impressive 0.01-0.02mm (10-20 microns) for consistent, reproducible results. Operating on 220-240V 50/60Hz power with requirements ranging from 215 watts (13mm) to 800 watts (76mm), these heated dies function reliably in working environments from 0-50°C with humidity below 35% RH. The thermal plate design with diameters of 105mm (13mm and 25mm models) provides uniform heat distribution, while maximum load heights from 14mm to 30mm accommodate various sample volumes and thicknesses for versatile pellet preparation applications.
