Applications
A hydraulic pellet press is used to compress powdered samples into the solid pellets or discs required for FTIR and XRF analysis. Proper pellet formation is critical for accurate spectral transmission, elemental quantification, and repeatable analytical performance.

Reference
The Automatic Benchtop Hydraulic Pellet Press from Imperial Instruments is a precision-engineered laboratory press designed for reliable FTIR and XRF sample preparation. This versatile pellet press converts powdered materials into uniform, high-density pellets and discs, ensuring consistent, reproducible analytical results.
Available in force capacities ranging from 2 tons up to 150 tons, this pellet press series supports everything from routine FTIR KBr pellet preparation to high-pressure XRF pelletizing for mineral, cement, metal oxide, and geological samples. Its compact benchtop design combined with fully automatic hydraulic operation makes it ideal for research labs, analytical laboratories, universities, and industrial QA/QC facilities.
Design
Choose the ideal tonnage for your application — from low-pressure FTIR pellets to high-force XRF discs.
Automated pressure build-up, dwell, and release deliver consistent pellet quality with minimal operator effort.
Space-saving footprint without sacrificing performance, even at higher tonnage models.
Set pressing force, holding time, and release speed for repeatable FTIR and XRF sample preparation.
Heavy-duty frame and precision hydraulic system ensure long-term durability and stable operation.
Integrated safety features protect users during high-pressure pressing cycles.
