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.
The critically acclaimed LabEcon series is known for its accurate and consistent pressing quality, making it the preferred sample preparation press for quality control and R&D across the polymer, rubber and composite industries.
Available in four force ranges – 100, 300, 600 and 1000 kN – the press operates at up to 300C. Its small footprint allows easy installation in any lab, while the ergonomic design and straightforward 15″ ProView touchscreen interface are appreciated by lab technicians worldwide.
The LabEcon incorporates multiple safety features including a fixed upper platen, an emergency stop system and a protective safety shield. An integrated exhaust hood (Jacob ø200 mm) enables connection to existing extraction systems.
- Automated press cycle
- Fully programmable cycle with automatic venting/degassing stroke. Opens and closes at a pre-set interval without operator intervention.
- ProView control system
- The 15" touchscreen provides complete oversight of temperature and closing force, with real-time progress monitoring and extensive setting options.
- Built-in safety systems
- Fixed upper platen, emergency stop and full safety shield ensure safe operation in demanding laboratory environments.
- Extensively configurable
- Fast heating, active cooling, multiple daylights, roller bed, alternative platens - the LabEcon adapts to your specific workflow.
- Platen size: 320 × 320 mm
- Spec. pressure: 0.98 N/mm²
- Max. temp.: 400°C
- Amperage: 16 A
- Weight: 600 kg
- Fast heating system
- Accelerate heating to 20℃/min - reach 180℃ in just 8 minutes instead of 16, and 400℃ in 19 instead of 38.
- Heating up to 400°C
- Expand the standard 300°C heating capacity to 400°C, enabling use with a wider range of sample materials and polymer types.
- Active cooling system
- Automated water cooling of the platens via electric valves. Optionally ASTM D4703 compliant (15°C/min cooling ramp) upon request.
- Multiple daylights
- Add extra daylights between platens to process more samples per cycle. Each daylight can have individual heating and cooling settings.
- Roller bed
- Ball transfer units allow easier insertion and removal of heavy moulds - reducing handling effort and operator fatigue.
- Alternative platens
- Steel, aluminium or copper platens for specific temperature distribution profiles tailored to your material requirements.
- Light & sound signal
- A stacklight with audible alarm indicates the current status of the press cycle, improving operator awareness in busy lab environments.
- Extended guarantee & maintenance
- Extend the standard warranty and subscribe to a preventive maintenance and calibration service plan for long-term reliability.
- Custom configuration
