What is a Pallet Press?

A Pallet Press (often referred to as a Pellet Press in laboratory settings) is a high-pressure machine designed to compact loose, powdered materials into solid, uniform pellets or "bricks."

Using a combination of hydraulic force and precision-engineered die sets, the press exerts thousands of pounds of pressure to bind particles together. This is essential when you need a sample to have a specific density, shape, or structural integrity for testing and analysis.

Key Features

• Uniform Pressure Distribution: Our presses ensure that force is applied equally across the entire surface area, preventing pellets from crumbling or having "weak spots."

• Precision Die Sets: Crafted from hardened, high-grade steel, our die sets are polished to a mirror finish to ensure easy pellet release and perfect dimensional accuracy.

• Adjustable Load Control: Features easy-to-read pressure gauges and adjustable valves, allowing you to dial in the exact tonnage required for different materials.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a reinforced steel frame to handle high-tonnage loads without flexing or losing alignment over time.

• Compact Footprint: Designed to fit comfortably on a standard laboratory bench while still delivering industrial-level power.

Applications

• Spectroscopic Analysis: Creating high-quality KBr (Potassium Bromide) pellets for FTIR spectroscopy or XRF samples.

• Material Science: Compacting ceramic or metallic powders for sintering and metallurgical research.

• Pharmaceuticals: Small-scale production of medicine tablets or testing the compressibility of new drug formulations.

• Energy Research: Preparing battery material samples or catalyst pellets for chemical reactors.

• Geology: Pressing soil or mineral samples into stable discs for elemental analysis.

Why choose Vacuum Lab Technologies?

• Custom Die Fabrication: We don’t just offer standard sizes. If your research requires a unique shape or specific diameter, our Bangalore facility can manufacture custom die sets to your exact specifications.

• Engineered for Durability: Our hydraulic systems are built to be leak-proof and low-maintenance, ensuring they remain a reliable workhorse in your lab for years.

• Local Technical Support: Because we manufacture locally in Bangalore, we provide rapid support, spare parts, and calibration services that international vendors simply can't match.

• Safety Integrated: Every press we build includes protective shielding and safety valves to ensure the operator is protected during high-pressure operations.
