Great product
Application Area:Battery research
"Easy to use, smart design. We use the pellet die to make lithium ion batteries materials powder into pellet. By using the hydraulic press, the pellets form very good shape and strength, which can be operated later in other processes."

Overall robust and continues to work as new after 5 years
Application Area:Materials testing lab for nanotechnology engineering students
"Product is easy to use and provides reproducible results. We have not had any issues with it and still works as if brand new and we've had it for 5 years. The only problem we've had is some rust build up which is the results of a lab humidity issue."

Good, but no practical on a daily basis.
Application Area:Ceramics - Science Materials. Electrodes for Solid Oxide Fuell Cells
"Although this product has a graet value for money and an avereage after sales care, the main issue on the daily tasks whenever using this instrument is the front plastic cover. Whenever your making a tablet, its necesary to scroll the top screw up and down, but if the front plastic cover is up its impossible, you have to go to the side and its simply not practical because you're unable to see your sample. Maybe a redesign of the product would be very good."

Very happy that this press did not leak.
Application Area:Pressing polymer pellets for both FTIR and rheology
"Press worked fine for prepping samples for FTIR work. Liked the cool down with water feature. Press did not leak hydraulic fluid as some other presses from other suppliers have in the past. (We had to keep the other press in a shallow tub because of leaking!) We have since moved on to a larger press from another supplier as we need larger samples for some other testing"

Application Area:Pressing of ceramic powders for sintering studies, heated pressing of samples
"The Specac Atlas press is a great, compact pellet press. Easy to use, robust, and can achieve very high pressures for such a small press. Great for small pellets (7mm) up to reasonably large pellets (19mm). The service for maintaining the press was also excellent; at one point a component broke and we were able to easily get replacement components and instructions from Specac to get the press back into operation quickly. I've been quite pleased with the press and support!"

Easy to operate, excellent pellet production results for FTIR transmission analysis.
Application Area:Infrared spectroscopy analysis
"The quality of KBr pellets containing the analyte is essential for obtaining good results in the infrared spectroscopic analysis. The ATLAS-Specac manual hydraulic press is ideal for this type of situation due to the quality of the prepared pellet, and also because it is compact and very easy to operate. It is an indispensable equipment in our laboratory."

Very easy to use and good customer satisfaction. Very low maintenance.
Application Area:To prepare ferrite pallet for spectroscopy and to measure dielectric constant
"This product is very easy to use and can be set and maintained proper pressure through multiple attempt. The diecast of sample preparation can be easily attached with this machine. Installation and demonstration by company Engineer is up to the mark. Maintenance of this machine is very low cost and company support is provided for maintenance, service and repair. Most of the maintenance can we do ourselves without company support. Pressure gauge calibration is almost perfect within tolerance limit. Physical work on this machine is not hard at all; very reliable effort is required to handle without hard physical activity. Recommended by me and by our department to all researchers who is working in the field of solid state physics; they have to think about this brand before purchasing."

"We have been using this press in our lab for more than 20 years and it has performed flawlessly. Maintenance is limited to replacing the hydraulic fluid every few years. WE have prepared thousands of KBr pellets of samples for FTIR analysis in the time we have had the press. We get consistently high quality pellets, especially when used with the evacuable pellet die. This unit is a workhorse in our lab. We couldn't do without it."

Pros and Cons of hydraulic presses
Application Area:Compacting Alloy Granules
"The equipment is very user-friendly. Even someone using this for the first time could also use it hassle free. But the oil always seems to be a problem. It drained out very much quickly. Hope that Specac can invent new model of hydraulic pellet press with more features and low oil usage. Otherwise, this product is the core of my research. Thanks Specac for awesome job!"

Application Area:Microfabrication: bioengineering, micro-fluididic bonded chips.
"The Atlas press with heated plates worked flawlessly from day one. It was easy to setup and train other people to use it. There came a time when our process flow required less force with the press. We reached out to Specac and they offered an adapter kit that allowed us to use the press in two different modes of force. We were able to maintain the original setup and that was invaluable. The kit was easy to install and operate. Many microfluidic chips were made with this press in our microfabrication cleanroom. From this research, many articles and papers were published, as well as multiple PhD's issued. Thanks Specac for making reliable, rugged products and maintaining excellent customer service!"

Transmission IR spectroscopy would be rather impossible without this accessory.
Application Area:Preparation of pellets for IR spectroscopy
"It allows a very fast preparation of the samples for IR spectroscopy. The obtained pellets are of high quality. The manometer is very accurate, which allows for reproducible pressurizing of the pellets. The reproducibility of pellet technique of transmission IR spectroscopy is inherently low from a quantitative point of view. However, the obtained pellets are qualitatively highly reproducible."

Compact, efficient, and reliable
Application Area:Processing of polymeric membranes
"Hydraulic press works like a dream. I use the press in conjunction with the heating platens to melt press ion exchange materials together. In the past I had used a muffle furnace and a C-clamp to do this and I had to make 5-10 samples to get 1 good sample. With the press the prepared membranes work nearly every time with much greater control over the experimental conditions. The machine is very easy to use the one thing I would change it add an indicator for the maximum pressure release. It made my life as a graduate student so much easier, as it gave me a facile and repeatable method for processing my materials. I give tours to perspective students and I always say that the press is the only machine on campus that will work every time you use it."

Good results with fine ceramic powders, only if used with a die lubricant.
Application Area:Pressing ceramic powder samples
"For my purposes of pressing ceramic powders, it is important to know that a lubricant is more than likely required. The fine, hard ceramics I use have caused the pellet to be very difficult to remove from the die if no lubricant is used. The fine powders get wedged in between the cavity in the wall of the die and the pellet, and when significant force has to be used to remove the pellet, the powders can scratch the walls of the die. This produces uneven surface finish, and makes it difficult to reproducibly make pellets. However, if a lubricant like zinc stearate or similar is used, the process becomes much more pleasant, and can be fairly reproducible. Inevitably some samples will still come out cracked, but overall it is a robust process."

The Specac Manual Hydraulic Press is available in 15 and 25 ton load configurations for a wide variety of laboratory pressing applications. It is ideally suited to the manufacture of KBr pellets for FTIR spectroscopy as well as sample pellets and targets for other spectroscopic techniques such as XRF, Terahertz, and laser ablation spectroscopy. With additional equipment such as the Heated Platens and Constant Thickness Film Makers, it becomes suitable for analysis of polymers and thin films. In addition to all these, the sensitivity and accuracy of load application facilitates other laboratory tasks, including assembly and fabrication, powder synthesis, and tablet compaction for pharmaceutical tests.
