Designed to the Standard
Did you know that 95% of presses in circulation cannot meet short or long-term requirements for optimal sample preparation? Aligned with ASTM D3182 & ISO 2393 MonTech presses outperform every competitor by meeting the platen parallelism, temperature uniformity, and PSI requirements.
- Temperature Accuracy: ± 0.5°C
- Platen Parallelism: Better than 0.1 mm/m
- Platen Surface PSI: 500 PSI
The Energy Efficient Lab Press
MonTech laboratory presses designs prioritize energy efficiency. Each platen is equipped with state-of-the art insulation and stainless-steel covers to mitigate temperature loss. All presses are installed with an IE4 high-efficiency hydraulic pump motor requiring less oil, offering more control, and no longer demand an inefficient heat exchanger.
