6. Making the Pellet
Place the prepared Die assembly in its upright position (as seen as
Exploded Diagram and on front cover)
carefully and centrally
into a
hydraulic Press.
At this stage, the Die assembly may be connected to a vacuum
pumping system via the evacuation port (
6
) on the cylinder body (
4
).
Vacuum quality rubber tubing can be routed through to the pressing
area of any Specac Press to fit over the evacuation port (
6
) whilst the
Die is being compressed. A regime for evacuation time and application
may be devised for a specific sample or set of samples to be
compressed. If using a vacuum, apply evacuation to the Die assembly
prior to
compression in the Press.
Note:
Evacuation of the Die assembly can help in the production
quality of certain pellets depending on the dryness of a sample.
Follow the specific instructions for operation of your Press to apply a
load to the die assembly. The Atlas™ Lightweight Evacuable Pellet
Dies have a maximum load limit of 40 tons.
Warning:
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LOAD.
Keep the load applied to the Die assembly for however long it is
necessary to produce an acceptable sample pellet.
If using a vacuum pump system, evacuation should proceed during the
application of load and be maintained for a further minute after the load
has been released.
