The "12T" indicates a maximum pressing force of 12 tons (ton-force). This is the machine's rated pressing capacity. If you need the equivalent in kN or MPa for a specific die or sample geometry, please contact the supplier with your sample dimensions so they can provide exact conversion and safe operating limits.
It is suitable for laboratory-scale cold isostatic pressing of powders and particulate materials such as ceramics, metal powders, composites, catalysts, and some polymer formulations. Use cases listed include material testing, R&D, quality control and small-scale component production.
Yes — Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) is a room-temperature pressing process. This bench-top model is intended for cold pressing; it does not include built-in heating elements unless a custom variant is requested.
The specification provides the weight (120 kg) but does not list exact footprint dimensions. It is described as a compact bench-top design. For precise footprint and clearance requirements, request the dimensional drawing from the supplier before installation.
Electrical requirements are not specified in the provided description. The machine includes a PLC for control and will require mains power. Contact the supplier for the exact voltage, phase and amperage requirements for your region.
Control is handled via an integrated PLC, which provides programmable and repeatable press cycles, timing and safety interlocks. Exact HMI layout and programmability options vary by model; ask the vendor for a software/control features sheet or demo.
The press includes a durable polycarbonate protection cover to shield the operator. Typical lab safety features also include emergency stop(s) and PLC-controlled interlocks. Confirm the full list of safety interlocks and certifications with the supplier and follow local lab safety practices when operating.
Common consumables for CIP include molds/dies, flexible bladders or bags, seals and a pressure-transmitting medium (often water or oil). Basic tooling may or may not be included—ask the vendor for a list of included accessories and recommended consumables for your application.
Yes. The product description states that a machinery test report is provided and a video of the outgoing inspection is available to confirm operational readiness prior to shipment.
The description does not specify training or installation services. Many suppliers offer installation support, user training and remote assistance. Confirm available services (on-site or remote), documentation and contact details for technical support with the vendor before purchase.
Routine maintenance typically includes keeping the press and protection cover clean, inspecting and replacing molds/bladders and seals as needed, checking hydraulic/pneumatic or pressure medium systems for leaks, and ensuring PLC backups/firmware are maintained. Ask the supplier for a recommended maintenance schedule and spare-parts list.
The listing mentions "die-cast components" as a possible small-scale application, but note that CIP is a cold pressing process and is not the same as hot die-casting (which requires melting and injection of metal). CIP can form compacted powder preforms that may be later sintered or processed; clarify your intended workflow with the supplier.
Customization (for specific tooling, pressure ranges or control options) and spare parts are commonly offered by suppliers. Request available customization options, lead times and a spare-parts price list from the manufacturer or distributor.
The product comes with a machinery test report and outgoing video inspection. For formal certifications (CE, ISO, RoHS, etc.) or calibration certificates, request the specific certificates from the supplier as they are not listed in the basic description.
The description does not include shipping method or lead time. Shipping specifics (packaging, freight class, export documentation) and lead times depend on order quantity and the supplier's production schedule. Ask the vendor for a pro forma quote including estimated lead time, shipping options and any export/import assistance.
