Fontijne Presses’ LabTop series combines the modest benchtop footprint of the LabManual with the full ProView automation of the LabEcon and LabPro — delivering accurate and consistent sample preparation in quality control and R&D labs where space is at a premium.
Depending on the model – 20, 150 or 300 – the press range goes up to 20, 150 or 300 kN at 300°C. Regardless of the model or settings used, the results will always be accurate and consistent. Thanks to its small footprint and its 230V connection, the LabTop can easily get installed in any lab. Its ergonomic design and straightforward touchscreen interface are highly appreciated by lab technicians.
Furthermore, the LabTop series incorporates many additional safety features, such as a fixed upper platen, an emergency stop system and a safety shield.
- ProView control system
- The 15" touchscreen provides complete oversight of temperature and closing force, with real-time progress monitoring and extensive setting options.
- Automated press cycle
- Fully programmable cycle with automatic venting/degassing stroke. Opens and closes at a pre-set interval without operator intervention.
- Built-in safety systems
- Fixed upper platen, emergency stop and full safety shield ensure safe operation in demanding laboratory environments.
- Compact & plug-and-play
- The benchtop form factor and standard 230V / 16A single-phase connection mean no special infrastructure — install it on any lab bench and get pressing immediately.
- Platen size: 250 × 250 mm
- Spec. pressure (full load): 4.8 N/mm²
- Spec. pressure (150×150 mm): 13.32 N/mm²
- Max. temp.; 300°C
- Mains voltage / amperage: 230 VAC 50 Hz / 16 A
- Dimensions (L × W × H): 930 × 490 × 840 mm
- Control; ProView 15" touchscreen
- Active water cooling
- The platens can be cooled swiftly using an active water-cooling circuit, allowing rapid turnaround for tasks requiring a lower temperature setpoint. Includes an air blow system to keep cooling channels clean and free of debris. (LabManual 300 only)
- Chromated backing platens
- At high temperature settings, sample material can adhere to the standard platens. A set of chromated backing platens easily prevents this, ensuring clean sample release and protecting the press platens from contamination.
- Extended guarantee & maintenance
- Extend the standard warranty period and subscribe to a preventive maintenance and calibration service plan — ensuring long-term reliability and consistent press performance over time.
