Notice Information

Notice Title

Hydraulic Press

Notice Description

Supply, installation and technical services in relation to a Hydraulic Press connected with a closed-loop chiller.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The supply, installation and technical services in relation to a Hydraulic Press connected with a closed-loop chiller to be based within the School of Engineering at the Sanderson Building. This hydraulic press connected with the closed loop chiller will be used to manufacture high temperature thermoplastic composites such as polyether ether ketone/carbon fibre (PEEK/CF) or polyaryl ether ketone/CF (PAEK/CF) composites in the temperature range 380oC to 450oC. A controlled cooling rate is essential for such thermoplastic processing, which will develop the desired level of crystallinity in the material to attain the optimum mechanical properties. Apart from such high temperature thermoplastic composites, this hydraulic press will also be used for thermoplastic composite processing in the temperature range 200oC-300oC.

Options: We would be interested in having the following desirable features if not already included in the base model: - An option for selecting degassing strokes in the programme. - An option of having variable closing speeds (10 - 40 mm/s). - An option of having 'crash' cooling rates of the order of 30-40oC/min on smaller specimens.

Renewal: This contract period is initially 12 months with the option to extend for 4 years to cover warranty
