Why professionals choose our presses
Advanced framework
Our presses use an advanced 2-column press frame to make sure that all samples – regardless of temperature and pressure – have exactly the same thickness.
Accurate temperature
Thanks to the use of high quality and carefully tuned heating elements, our laboratory presses offer extremely accurate temperature distribution.
Precise force distribution
The rigid design of our presses allows precise force distribution over the full platen surface as well as highly controlled pressure build-up.
Safety first
Our presses are designed with the safety of the operator in mind and use safety facilities such as a safety shield, an emergency stop system and fixed upper platen.
User friendly
It’s important to us that our presses are easy to operate. This applies to both our LabManual and LabTop presses as well as to our LabEcon and LabPro models which are equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen operating system.
Compact design
Thanks to their compact design and limited weight, these presses can easily be accommodated in labs of all sizes.
