Cold Isostatic Presses
The CIP Process
Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP)
is a compaction process
that adds strength and
durability to a variety of
powder metal, ceramic, and
plastic parts. Containerized
powders are placed in a
pressure chamber filled
with a liquid medium, and
high pressure is applied
uniformly from all sides.
Avure offers a full line of
research-scale, mid-range
and pilot plant, and highvolume
production CIPs.
Each unit is pressure tested
to well in excess of its
maximum rating, and cycle
tested to ensure reliable
operation.
CIP systems for research and lower volume production
Research-scale CIPs. These compact, self-contained units are fast, convenient,
and inexpensive systems for basic research, feasibility, and prototyping studies of
cold isostatic pressing. More Avure CIPs are used in industrial, government, and
university laboratories than any other isostatic press. Many are also used in smallbatch
production operations.
Laboratory CIPs include pressure vessel with threadless pin closure, pressurization
system, fluid reservoir, all instrumentation and controls, and are delivered ready
for connection to air and electricity. Most units are equipped with a convenient
air-actuated cover lifting device.
The standard line includes six models with maximum operating pressures from
30,000 to 60,000 psi. Working chamber diameters range from 2” to 6”, with
lengths of 22” and 23”.
Pilot plant/mid-range production CIPs. For higher volume production applications,
Avure offers a full line of CIPs with totally automated vessel operation.
A touch of a button activates the entry and removal of the cover and basket,
threadless pin closure, water filling and draining, and controlled pressurization
and depressurization. This design provides the fastest available means for isostatic
processing of production components.
Standard models are available up to 60,000 psi
working pressure, with working chambers from
6” to 16” I.D. and lengths from 24” to 38”.
Other sizes are available on special order.
A variety of high-pressure pumps is available.
