The hydraulic press has a pressing area of 1500 x
900 mm and an opening of 400 mm. The
maximum pressing force is 2700 kN (guaranteed
minimum pressure on maximum specimen size is
2 MPa). The two press platens can be heated up
to 250°C. The platens have a combined heating
power of 144 kW enabling the heating rate to be
1-15°C/min. The cooling capacity of the press is
1-10°C/min and is achieved in a closed circuit
through a condensation cooling tank.
