Laboratory platen press LabManual 50

LabManual 50 is a manually operated hydraulic laboratory press for rubber and polymer materials, where the number of samples to be processed is moderate. It can be used for pressing needs up to 50 kN at +200 °C, but also allows the use of low closing forces.

Thanks to its modest footprint, the LabManual 50 can easily get installed on a workbench 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.
