In conjunction with the Disintegrator and either of the Sheet Formers, the Automatic Sheet Press is intended for the pressing of laboratory handsheets to compact them and continue the de-watering process before drying. The press accepts handsheets up to 159 mm in diameter and after hand closing, presses them automatically for the selected time at the standard pressure. The procedure is repeated for the second pressing, the timers automatically resetting at the termination of each cycle.
The Labtech Sheet Press is designed for ease of operation and accuracy. It is fitted with a light weight aluminum top which is closed in position with four quick action nuts. The standard procedure is then followed with the press automatically raising and maintaining the correct pressure for the correct time. Provided suitable blotters are employed, this eliminates the source of most operator errors. The press is easy to operate and maintenance is minimal.
