Laboratory Press

The 30 and 40 ton versions of the AIR-EZ add a pneumatic drive to the comparable size manual E-Z Press and feature the same lightweight, ergonomic design. The press is driven by compressed air, which is available in most labs or can be provided by an inexpensive air compressor. The instrument jacks up to its rated capacity of 30 or 40 tons in 5 seconds by depressing the start lever on the pneumatic drive with light finger pressure. The pneumatic drive is attached to the press with a flexible hydraulic hose and can be operated on the floor as a foot pedal to save bench space. The press is suitable for many lab applications, including XRF briquettes. For applications requiring more daylight between the platens, it is offered with the user's choice of an 8-1/4 in. or 5-1/2 in. daylight opening. The press has a small footprint and weighs less than 155 pounds.
