Precision Pneumatic Press

PHI's pneumatic presses incorporate PHI's specialized platen designs and advanced pneumatic/air over oil systems into a precision four post press. This press is intended for applications requiring accurate control of pressure, temperature and parallelism. PHI pneumatic presses are ideal as laboratory presses.

PHI Pneumatic Press -- Force

-Standard models with capacity rated from 2,000 lbs. to 60,000 lbs.

PHI Pneumatic Press -- Die Space

-Standard models with die space (or platen size) from 8" x 8" to 18" x 18"

PHI Pneumatic Press -- Temperature Control

PHI pneumatic presses are designed to operate with a variety of platens -- steam or electrically heated, with or without cooling -- depending on your application. As different applications call for different temperature ranges, heat rise, temperature uniformity and heating modes, we at PHI have designed a complete line of platens ranging from standard industrial platens to exotic, high temperature platens for laboratory applications. No matter what your application, PHI platens are the answer.

All PHI platens utilize special thermocouples (one for each platen) and time-proportioning temperature controllers. These controllers prevent over-shoot and provide uniform, predictable heating.

Options Available for PHI Pneumatic Presses

At PHI, we are aware that special applications require special press features -- features that go above and beyond what's offered in the standard precision press. For these special applications, we have developed features such as nickel alloy platens for temperatures up to 1,200 degrees, special heaters for heat rise up to 50-degree/min., 1/4 percent accuracy temperature controllers, controlled platen cooling and many other features.

In order to give you the most functional press options, we also solicit your special applications.
