The upper crimping die is installed over, and
locked to, the upper hermetic die.
2. Loosen only the setscrew in the upper
crimping die (if installed), raise the press
handle, and remove the die assembly (includ-
ing the crimping plunger).
3. Lower the press handle, and loosen the
thumbnut located on the side of the press
column.
4. Lay the Encapsulating Press on its side, and
screw in the lower die-holder/adjustment
screw (located on the bottom of the press)
until the lower die holder (either hermetic or
crimping) just meets the upper hermetic die.
5. Loosen the setscrew in the Encapsulating
Press upper die-holder assembly to unlock
the upper hermetic die.
The upper hermetic die is now held in position
by either the lower hermetic or crimping die.
6. Unscrew and remove the lower die-holder
adjustment screw. This allows removal of
the lower hermetic or crimping die and upper
hermetic die assembly (includes hermetic
plunger and spring).
As the lower die - holder adjustment screw is
being removed, spring tension on the hermetic
die plunger is relieved.
7. Set the press upright; it is now ready for
installation of the rheometer pellet press die.
