How To Operate a Manual Hydraulic Press
A manual hydraulic press is a mechanical device that uses hydraulic pressure to crush or compress various materials. These presses are commonly used in laboratories to prepare samples for analysis, such as KBr pellets for FTIR spectroscopy, or general sample pellets for XRF.
Manual hydraulic presses typically consist of a cylinder filled with hydraulic oil that supplies pressure to a moving piston. The pressure is applied using a hand-operated pump. The material to be compressed is placed on the piston which is then slowly raised to apply a force to the material. Powder materials are usually contained in a pellet die which causes the compressed powder to form a solid disc of material.
Manual hydraulic presses are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, so they can be used for both small-scale and large-scale testing.
Depending on the design features, a lot of different process possibilities are there, but the basic operating principle essentially remains as indicated above.

Products and Components
Mini Pellet Press
A mini pellet press is a compact, hand-operated press that allows you to compress powdered materials into pellet or tablet form. It is a cost-effective alternative to expensive tablet making machinery. The press produces uniform pellets in a polished die and ejects them smoothly into a receiver without contamination.
7mm Pellet Die Assembly
The pellet die assembly is a set of dies that are designed for use with the pellet press. These dies are made to high tolerances to ensure that the pellets are produced effectively and without any powder escaping. The assembly includes a die sleeve, plunger rod, spacers, base plate, and release ring with a viewing slot.
7mm Disc Holder for a standard 3" by 2" mount
The disc holder is used to hold the pellets in place during analysis. It is designed to fit a standard mount size of 3 inches by 2 inches. This allows for easy handling and compatibility with other equipment.
Pellet Ring Holders
Pellet ring holders are used to hold the pellets securely in place during analysis. They provide stability and prevent movement, ensuring accurate and reliable results. These holders are available in various sizes to accommodate different pellet diameters.
Pestle and Mortar
A pestle and mortar are essential tools for grinding and crushing materials. They are commonly used in sample preparation for analysis. Agate pestles and mortars are preferred due to their smooth surfaces, which prevent sample powder from being lost, and their low contamination properties.
KBr Powder (50g)
KBr powder is a common material used in sample preparation for Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It is used to dilute and mix with the sample to form a pellet. KBr is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. To prevent moisture absorption and ensure accurate measurements, it is recommended to perform grinding and pressing in a glovebox or with a vacuum die.
Pellet Press Die Sets
Machining and Material Selection for Our Pellet Press Dies
Our pellet press die sets are designed, machined, and precision ground to ensure simple, easy, and reliable powder pressing. The dies are made of carefully chosen steels that are heat treated for maximum hardness and strength. This allows for reliable and repeatable long-term performance. The dies can tolerate large stresses from the hydraulic press required to make quality pellets.
Design Considerations
When selecting a pellet press die set, there are several design considerations to keep in mind. The size of the die set should be chosen based on the desired pellet diameter. Different hole sizes are available, ranging from 2.5mm to 10mm, with 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm being the most popular. The choice of die material, such as hard chromium steel, tungsten carbide, agate, zirconium oxide, or hot pressed sintered corundum, depends on the elements or compounds present in the sample.
Pressed Pellets Preparation
Pressed pellets are prepared by pressing loose powders filled in a ring or cup using a set of dies and a press machine. There are two types of dies: flat disc and cylinder types. The type to be used depends on the characteristics of the powder sample. The ease of pelletization can be improved by sufficient pulverization or mixing the powder sample with a forming agent (binder). Rings and cups used for forming pressed pellets are available in various sizes and materials, such as aluminum or PVC.
Homemade Wood Pellet Machine
In addition to the pellet press and dies, there are also homemade wood pellet machines available. These machines allow you to produce wood pellets from various materials, such as sawdust, wood chips, and agricultural waste. They provide a cost-effective solution for individuals or small businesses looking to produce their own wood pellets for heating or other purposes.
Conclusion
Having the right products and components is essential for effective sample preparation in various industries. The mini pellet press, pellet die assembly, disc holder, pellet ring holders, pestle and mortar, and KBr powder are all important tools for achieving accurate and reliable results in analysis. Additionally, the selection of the right pellet press die set and the consideration of design factors are crucial for successful pellet production. With the right equipment and materials, you can ensure high-quality pellets and improve the efficiency of your sample preparation process.
