Cell Lab Bidirectional Pressing Die Sets [Rectangular 18×80 mm & Square 12×12 mm]

Cell Lab Bidirectional Pressing Die Sets [Rectangular 18×80 mm & Square 12×12 mm]

Precision-engineered steel die sets for uniform rectangular and square pellet pressing

General Description

Cell Lab Bidirectional Pressing Die Sets are specialised tools for producing rectangular and square solid pellets from powder materials. Manufactured from Cr12MoV alloy tool steel with indenter hardness up to HRC60–62, these die sets provide superior durability and resistance under high pressure.

Available in 18×80 mm (rectangular) and 12×12 mm (square) formats, they are widely used in pharmaceuticals, materials science, powder metallurgy, and analytical chemistry where precise and uniform pellet formation is required. The bidirectional design ensures balanced pressure distribution for consistent compaction.

FAQ

Q1: What is the advantage of a bidirectional die?
It ensures balanced compression from both ends, producing uniform pellets with reduced internal stress.

Q2: Can these dies be used with different powders?
Yes. They are suitable for ceramics, metallic powders, and pharmaceutical materials.

Q3: How should the dies be maintained?
Clean and dry after each use; apply light oil to prevent rust during long-term storage.

Q4: Are these dies consumables?
Yes. They are considered consumables; warranty only covers manufacturing defects.

Q5: Is customisation available?
Yes. Larger rectangular or square cavities can be made to order.
