Other applications Our laboratory presses are widely used for the preparation of polymer samples, such as PE, PP, PEEK and many more. In order to precisely determine the physical properties of polymers, samples that are pressed under accurately controlled conditions (following international standards) are needed. This way, properties like tensile, flexural and impact strength can be tested. Furthermore, compression moulded polymer samples are also used for colour testing, weathering and XRF analysis. Our presses enable ground-breaking and industry leading research into composite materials....

PRODUCTS & SERVICES We believe that high-quality machines need first-class service. This is why we have a number of experienced service engineers available who can quickly be deployed all over the world for preventive maintenance, repairs and calibration services. This way, machine downtime can be kept to an absolute minimum. To make sure your press continues to operate reliably and within specifications at all times, we have a full line of original spare parts available. And since our presses have an exceptionally long lifespan – often spanning several decades –, we provide a wide variety...

LabManual 50/300 The LabManual series are manually operated hydraulic laboratory presses. These highly acclaimed benchtop devices are used in many laboratories around the world to prepare samples for quality control and R&D purposes. The LabManual series can – depending on the model 50 or 300 – handle pressing needs up to 50kN and 300kN at 200°C or 300°C, but also allows the use of low closing forces. Whichever settings you choose, the results will prove to be accurate and consistent over time. Thanks to its modest footprint, the LabManual can easily get installed in any lab. Furthermore,...

LabTop 150/300 Fontijne Presses’ benchtop LabTop series – available with a press range of 150 or 300kN – is an automated hydraulic laboratory press, which combines the modest footprint of our manually operated LabManual machines with the automated ProView control system that is used in our LabEcon and LabPro series. The critically acclaimed LabTop series is known for its accurate and consistent pressing quality, and is therefore widely chosen as sample preparation press for quality control and R&D. Depending on the model – 150 or 300 – the press range goes up to 150 or 300 kN at 300°C....

LabEcon 300/600/1000 Fontijne Presses’ floor standing LabEcon series – available with a press range of 300, 600 or 1000 kN – is an automated hydraulic laboratory press, which incorporates many features and qualities of the top-of-the-line LabPro series. The critically acclaimed LabEcon series is known for his accurate and consistent pressing quality, and is therefore widely chosen as sample preparation press for quality control and R&D.Depending on the model– 300, 600, 1000 – the press range goes up to 300, 600 or 1000 kN at 300°C. Regardless of the model or settings used, the results will...

LabVac 50/200/400/600/1000 LabVac is a series of laboratory hot platen presses that can create a vacuum condition inside the press chamber, which can prevent oxidation or contamination of the material by oxygen or other gases. A vacuum condition can also enhance the bonding and curing of the material, resulting in higher quality specimens. Depending on the model – 50, 200, 400, 600, 1000 – the closing force range goes up to 50, 200, 400, 600 or 1000 kN at 300°C. Regardless of the model or settings used, the results will always be accurate and consistent. The LabVac’s support table has a...

LabPro Meet LabPro, a series of highly customizable state-of-the-art laboratory presses. LabPro presses are known for their exquisite and consistent pressing quality and are used in demanding laboratory environments and R&D facilities around the world. Even though the closing force of the most powerful LabPro model can reach up to more than 5.000 kN, pressings that need much lower closing forces – 10 kN or less – will be handled with the same accuracy and consistency. The LabPro press is largely automated and is equipped with a user-friendly touch screen control interface. Moreover, the...
