PIXIE HYDRAULIC PELLET PRESS

Portable, manual hydraulic pellet press. Applied force up to 2.5 tons.

Description

Pike Pixie

The PIKE Pixie is a portable hydraulic press for making high-quality KBr pellets. With the press’ ergonomic design, pellet making is easy and effortless. Pixie’s small footprint makes it ideal for limited bench-space environments and glove boxes, and for storability. KBr pellets for IR transmission measurements are required by a number of standardized procedures, including some USLP and ASTM methods. Advantages of pellet making are spectral reproducibility and the ability to deal with relatively difficult or limited-mass samples.

The pellet preparation involves loading of the powdered KBr/sample matrix into the die chamber and placing the assembled die onto the platform of the hydraulic press. Force up to 2.5 tons may be applied. The die collar containing the newly formed pellet is placed into the designated holder and is positioned in the spectrometer’s 2 x 3” slide mount holder for measurement.
