KBr (Potassium Bromide) Hydraulic Pellet Press, particularly the automatic kind, is primarily used in laboratories for creating solid samples for FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy. This process involves compressing a mixture of KBr powder and the sample substance into a small, translucent pellet. The pellet's transparency to infrared light allows researchers to analyze the sample's molecular structure. 1. Application in Spectroscopy:

• FTIR Analysis:FTIR spectroscopy is a technique that identifies the molecular structure of a substance by analyzing its infrared absorption spectrum. 
• Sample Preparation:KBr is ideal for this because it is transparent in the infrared region and can be easily compressed into a pellet with the sample. 

2. How it Works (General Principle):

• Hydraulic System:The press utilizes a hydraulic system to generate high pressure, often around 15 tons or more, to compact the KBr and sample. 
• Pascal's Law:The press works on Pascal's Law, where pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid, allowing for amplification of force. 
• Pellet Formation:The pressure is applied to a die containing the KBr and sample, compressing them into a solid, uniform pellet. 

3. Advantages of using a Kbr Hydraulic Pellet Press:

• High-Quality Pellets:The press ensures high-quality, reproducible pellets for accurate FTIR analysis.
• Uniformity and Density:The pressure applied by the press creates pellets with uniform thickness and density, minimizing variations in the spectra.
• Ease of Use:Automatic presses often offer features like programmable settings and automated pressure control, simplifying the pellet-making process. 

4. Specific Applications:

• Research and Development:Used in various research fields, including chemistry, materials science, and pharmaceuticals. 
• Quality Control:Ensures the consistency and quality of materials in manufacturing and production. 
• Analysis of Hygroscopic Materials:Can be used to analyze moisture-sensitive materials by incorporating them into the KBr pellet. 
• Solid Sampling:Provides a method for analyzing solid samples that cannot be easily analyzed in solution. 

The steel ring or aluminium cup is inserted in the pressing tool of the PP 40 and filled with the sample material via a hopper. The complete slide is then pushed beneath the pressure plate and the pressing is started.
During pressure build-up the density of the powder increases. The maximum pressure force must be held over a certain period of time to allow full development of the interparticulate adhesive forces thus guaranteeing maximum stability. Pressing in up to three steps with e.g. increasing pressure force results in stable pellets.

A0NE complete Laboratory KBR Manual Hydraulic Press producing a force about 15 tones use to make high quality 13 mm Pallet used for IR/FTIR/XRF Solid Sampling.

15-ton laboratory Hydraulic Pellet Press is a compact, elegant and robust machine, typically used by R&D & QC labs for various pelletizing applications for IR/XRF, etc.

The high pressure pumping unit supplies hydraulic fluid to the up-stroking ram of the cylinder. This causes the ram to rise steadily and positively in the upward direction. As a result, the pressure is applied to any object placed between the screw and piston top plate.

We offer a hydraulic press that produces a force of about 15 tons to make a high-quality 13 mm pallet used for IR/FTIR/XRF solid sampling. Our range of hydraulic press can be customized as per customer requirements. These are appreciated for precision functioning and durability.
