Fontijne Presses is now introducing two new models to its series of laboratory platen presses – the LabTop 20 and the LabEcon 100 – both designed for precise control at low closing forces.
Fontijne Presses’ benchtop LabTop series – available with a press range of 20, 150 or 300kN – is an automated hydraulic laboratory press, which combines the modest footprint of our manually operated LabManual machines with the automated ProView control system that is used in our LabEcon and LabPro series.
The LabEcon 100 complements the existing models by offering an extended low-force range between 5 and 100 kN , making it particularly suitable for delicate research applications that require fine pressure control. The floor standing LabEcon series – available with a press range of 100, 300, 600 or 1000 kN – is an automated hydraulic laboratory press, which incorporates many features and qualities of the top-of-the-line LabPro series.
Fontijne Presses offers reliable, user-friendly laboratory compression moulding solutions for polymer, rubber, composite and laminate sample preparation, for R&D and educational environments. The range is divided into 5 product categories that cover all the needs of today’s testing lab.
- The manually operated LabManual series is designed to prepare samples for demanding applications and moderate use.
- The LabTop series is the benchtop hydraulic lab press designed for demanding applications and automated use.
- The LabEcon series is known for its accurate and consistent pressing quality, and is therefore chosen for automated sample preparation in quality control and R&D labs.
- The LabVac series can create a vacuum condition inside the press chamber, which prevents oxidation or contamination of the material by oxygen or other gases.
- The LabPro series is the right choice for the most demanding pressing applications and can be tailored to meet the customers’ specific needs and requests.
