Fontijne Presses · Netherlands

LabManual Series

Manually operated hydraulic laboratory presses. Benchtop units chosen worldwide for quality-control and R&D sample preparation. Depending on the model (50 / 300), presses up to 50 kN and 300 kN at 200 °C or 300 °C — accurate and repeatable results even at low clamping forces.

Thanks to its modest footprint, it installs easily in any laboratory; its closed hydraulic system prevents oil leaks. A safety-first, ergonomic design and simple operation make life easier for the technician. It is the right choice for applications that need accuracy and consistency, involve a moderate number of specimens, and suit manual operation.

  • Two models: LabManual 50 (50 kN / 200 °C) and LabManual 300 (300 kN / 300 °C)
  • Closed hydraulic system — prevents oil leaks
  • Precise clamping force control via hand pump
  • Modest footprint, 230 V — installs in any laboratory

Options

OptionDescription
Active water cooling (300 only)Rapidly cools the press plates for a fast transition to the next job requiring a lower temperature setting, with no lost time. Includes an air-blow system that clears the cooling channels with compressed air.
Chrome-plated support platesPrevents specimen material from sticking to the plates at high temperature settings.
Extended warranty & maintenanceThe standard warranty period can be extended on request; preventive maintenance and calibration service is offered.
