LabManual Series
The LabManual series are manually operated hydraulic laboratory presses.
These highly acclaimed benchtop devices are used in many laboratories around the world to prepare samples for quality control and R&D purposes.
Accurate, compact, manual
The LabManual series can – depending on the model 50 or 300 – handle pressing needs up to 50kN and 300kN at 200°C or 300°C, but also allows the use of low closing forces. Whichever settings you choose, the results will prove to be accurate and consistent over time.
Thanks to its modest footprint, the LabManual can easily get installed in any lab. Furthermore, the unit’s closed hydraulics operation prevents oil from leaking. The LabManual is designed with safety in mind, while its ergonomic design and straightforward operation make life easier for laboratory technicians.
Fontijne Presses’ LabManual press is the right choice for applications that need accuracy and consistency, but where the number of samples to be processed is moderate, allowing manual operation.
Precise pressure build-up
The manual hydraulic pump gives full tactile control over how pressure is applied — essential for fragile samples or materials that require a very gradual force build-up.
Accurate & consistent results
Regardless of model or settings, the LabManual series consistently delivers reliable, repeatable pressing quality — the foundation of sound quality control.
Ergonomic & simple to operate
Designed with ease of use in mind — the intuitive manual controls and compact layout are appreciated by lab technicians at any experience level.
Clean, safe design
The closed hydraulics system prevents oil leakage. Combined with a safety-first design philosophy, the LabManual ensures a tidy and safe laboratory environment.
Two force ranges with same consistent quality
Regardless of the model or settings used, results will always be accurate and consistent. Choose the force range that matches your sample preparation needs.
