Key Product Features

A pneumatic precision hot-press platform - high-pressure cylinder + load-cell closed loop - achieves separator-grade uniform pressing and stable reproduction on a 100×100 mm micro bed.

High-Pressure Pneumatic Drive

The high-pressure cylinder delivers max 2.5 t rated pressure in a compact, smooth-running package suited to separator and film precision hot pressing.

Load-Cell Closed Loop

A high-precision load cell feeds back load in real time with ±0.1 kgf micro-load precision, ensuring consistent batch pressure on thin separators.

Precision-Ground Platen

Mirror-ground platen surface, ±0.001 mm flatness; 4-axis high-strength special-steel frame with zero deformation under high temperature and pressure.

RT-250°C Precision Temp Control

Phase-controlled power regulation (TPR); platen continuously adjustable RT-250°C, stable and uniform temperature; natural cooling.

Integrated Safety Protection

Over-temp/leakage/over-pressure triple safety interlock with high-pressure release linked to the safety door, providing end-to-end safety for separator process development.

of separator hot-press formingLaboratory Benchmark Equipment

The QM940AS air-heated platen tester is driven by a high-pressure pneumatic cylinder with a high-precision load cell for ±0.1 kgf micro-load closed-loop control - the key step that takes separator heat-setting from lab to production.

The platen surface is mirror-ground to ±0.001 mm flatness; the 4-axis high-strength special-steel frame holds zero deformation at 250°C / 2.5 t, ensuring every separator is pressed to uniform thickness with batch consistency.

For Li-ion battery separators: Polyolefin separator heat setting, ceramic-coated separator lamination, separator micropore structure control, separator thermal-shrinkage post-treatment.

For solid-state and electrodes: Solid-state electrolyte powder pelletizing, small solid-state battery specimen forming, Li-ion electrode hot pressing, electrode-coat thermal curing.

For fuel cells: MEA electrode hot pressing, GDL gas-diffusion-layer bonding, catalyst-layer/proton-exchange-membrane lamination.

The TPR phase-controlled power system provides a stable field with over-temperature/leakage/over-pressure triple safety interlocks; a digital indicator and remote control are optional - one machine covering all separator hot-press needs from materials R&D to process validation.

Built for precision hot-press forming - coordinated temperature/pressure control ensures batch consistency.
