Where it fits · The PressPro press range
Choose the press by application and pellet size. The EPIM / EPIA Series is the versatile press for IR spectroscopy — Φ13 mm KBr pellets, from 12T manual to 10T fully automatic. For smaller KBr pellets in a glove-box-ready unit, see the mini infrared tablet press (EPIR / EPIM02TH); for XRF sample preparation at higher tonnages, see the X-ray fluorescence press machines (EPFM / EPFAX series).
Frequently asked questions
What is it used for?
Preparing Φ13 mm (Φ12.7 mm) KBr (potassium bromide) pellets for infrared (IR) spectrometers. With specific molds, it presses solid samples of various shapes and sizes for research, education, testing, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals.
What is the difference between the four models?
EPIM12BH and EPIM15TH are manual presses (12T / 15T) with a dual-scale pointer gauge. EPIA20TH (20T) is an electric press with automatic pressure compensation and manual pressure release, controlled from a 4.3-inch touch screen. EPIP10TH (10T) is fully automatic — pressurization, holding, supplementary pressurization, and depressurization — with a 7-inch touch screen, system safety configuration, and data management.
How is pressure applied on the manual models?
By manual pressurization / gradual pressurization, with manual pressure release. A pointer gauge with dual-scale display shows pressure and force (a digital gauge is optional). Do not exceed the maximum piston stroke of 30 mm.
What molds are included?
One set of Φ13 mm infrared molds is standard. IR die sets are available in two types: pellets demolded before testing, or pellets tested directly in the die without demolding. Molds can be customized for other sizes and shapes.
What is in the standard package?
1 tablet press machine, 1 set of Φ13 mm infrared molds, 1 set of agate mortar and pestle, 1 bottle of potassium bromide (spectroscopically pure), and 1 sample scoop. An infrared heating lamp is optional.
