Fontijne Presses proudly introduces the LabEcon 100, the latest addition to the LabEcon series of laboratory compression moulding presses.
The LabEcon series is known for delivering reliable, user-friendly laboratory compression moulding solutions for polymer, rubber, composite and laminate sample preparation, as well as R&D and educational environments. The LabEcon 100 complements the existing models by offering an extended low-force range, making it particularly suitable for delicate research applications that require fine pressure control.
What truly distinguishes the LabEcon 100 is its extremely precise low-force capability.
The hydraulic system allows closing forces from 5 kN up to 100 kN, adjustable in precise 1 kN increments. For applications that require even more sensitivity, an integrated pneumatic system can be added. This system enables closing forces starting from as low as 0.2 kN, adjustable in increments of 0.1 kN.
This unmatched force control provides:
- Superior process accuracy
- Improved repeatability
- Enhanced operator safety
- Reduced risk of damaging delicate samples
