Port-A-Press™ is the most economical, full-scale, KBr
pellet press on the market, and it produces pellets that
are as transparent as those made with a 12 ton hydraulic
press. It uses a torque wrench to permit the user to apply
the same amount of pressure from pellet to pellet thereby
facilitating reproducibility of results. The square frame
of the Port-A-Press™ can either be inserted in a bench
mounted vise or in the channel shaped holder provided with
the press (shown in photo) which can be mounted to a work
bench. The press can also be operated by laying the frame
on the edge of a table and holding the frame with one hand
while the torque wrench is tightened with the other hand.
Pressure is applied to the die set as the threaded lead
screw and toggle pad assembly is screwed through the threaded
frame using the torque wrench. The torque wrench easily
generates 20 foot pounds of torque without the use of excessive
strength, which is sufficient to produce 16,000 lbs/in2
of pressure on the die set. This is the equivalent of 8
tons of pressure and forms a very clear pellet. The anvils
of the 7mm die sets are hardened with optically polished
faces and use the same aerospace grade of nickel based alloy
as the Quick Press with which they are interchangeable.
The dies are loaded in the same manner as the Quick Press
die sets.
