High temperature laboratory press for rubber, plastics & composites molding

presse lab 1

Pinette PEI. designs and manufactures a complete range of standard laboratory presses, the LAB series. Our expertise in this business allows us to offer our customers trustworthy presses for rubber, plastics and composites forming which can perform consolidation, stamping or Resin Transfer Molding (RTM).

The standard LAB series laboratory press range

To equip laboratories or really small production units, we launched a varied range of laboratory presses. This new range allows the customer to choose the required performance while limiting the required investment. Each press is equipped with heating and cooling platens that can heat up to 450°C. Depending on the selected range, this press works at 250, 350 or 450°C (482, 662 or 842°F).

These forming machines allow low force testing and a supervision system can be added (option). Therefore, this range meets most market needs for composite material development.

Even though the LAB range is standard, we are dedicated to customize our products, with adjustable strokes, to meet your needs. The press can also be customized with raw material transfer cylinder, IR preheating oven or force sensors.
