Techni-Mold Laboratory Compression Press

TMP specializes in custom presses for laboratory testing of prototype and production rubber, silicone, laminate and composite materials. These laboratory press designs are part of our TECHNI-MOLD series of presses, mixers, and mills developed, designed, and manufactured by TMP for over 25 years.

Most of the applications for TECHNI-MOLD presses involve the molding actual production parts, although all laboratory presses are suitable as well for molding test samples. TMP laboratory presses are preferred for many reasons.

Precision alignment and parallelism
Repeatable movement and control
Heavy duty production-reliable design
Flexible controls for sophisticated compression profiling
Automated to the needs-level of the process
Customized to meet particular customer requirements

TMP offer two basic standard series of lab presses, either of which can be modified to meet specific needs:

TECHNI-MOLD L1 Series, designed principally for economics of purchase. With basic functional capabilities, these presses are suitable for a many lab applications. These laboratory presses feature:

4-Post Design
Commercially available main ram/cylinder assemblies
TMP BPS Controls with Microprocessor and LCD Panel View display, push buttons, and programmable bump cycles using two pressure settings
Electric Platens with 2-zone control and 500 F temperature range
Hydraulic system with positive displacement pump, filter, proportional valving

TECHNI-LAB L2 and L2V (Vacuum) Series, designed for full flexibility in compression profiling, precision alignment, and sophisticated compression profiling. These laboratory presses feature:

Slab-side design with temperature compensating guiding
TMP-designed heavy-duty rated to 2500 PSI with guiding and seals.
TMP CPS Controls with PLC and Color Screen Operator Interface, data highway connections, and added programming flexibility.
Electric Platens with multiple zone control
TMP Pre-fill hydraulics and side cylinders for fast open-close
Vacuum chamber with sliding front and hinged rear access doors (L2V model)
Customers can select for standard models below or customize to their particular requirements.
