The Specac Mini-Pellet Press is an entry-level laboratory hydraulic press for the preparation of high-quality 7mm KBr pellets for transmission FTIR analysis. With a rugged and durable design, this press is intended for regular laboratory use with maintenance-free operation. Specac’s Mini-Pellet Press is designed to be used on a laboratory benchtop, but is small in size and light enough in weight to allow it to be moved to d…

Specac manufactures a wide range of high-quality Evacuable Pellet Dies suitable compacting powdered samples into discs or briquettes. These are particularly well suited for the preparation of solid KBr pellets for FTIR molecular spectroscopic analysis and XRF pellets for X-Ray Fluorescence atomic spectroscopic analysis (as required by a number of USLP and ASTM methods), but also find use in a broad range of other applications.…

The Specac Manual Hydraulic Press is available in 15 and 25 ton load configurations for a wide variety of laboratory pressing applications. It is ideally suited to the manufacture of KBr pellets for FTIR spectroscopy as well as sample pellets and targets for other spectroscopic techniques such as XRF, Terahertz, and laser ablation spectroscopy. With additional equipment such as the Heated Platens and Constant Thickness Film Ma…

Our flagship Autotouch press is designed for high volume laboratory sample preparation for XRF and other elemental analysis techniques, capable of pressing a single sample in under two minutes when augmented with the Apex automated die system. A complete range of pelletizing presses and accessories are available no matter the scale of analysis, from simple hand-pumped hydraulic presses up to the fully-programmable Autotouch. C…

The constant thickness film maker accessory is ideal for the preparation of reproducible thickness polymer films. The films produced are 29mm in diameter and can be varied in thickness by using a set spacing ring. The accessory is designed to be used with the Atlas Heated Platens which allows for a maximum temperature of 300°C, and is compatible with Specac's range of Atlas Manual, Power, and Automatic Presses.
