 3630 Automated X-Press
This unique programmable laboratory press performs the entire pressing cycle with the push
of a single button.
The 3630 X-Press is a 35-ton programmable hydraulic press intended for the repetitive
pressing of sample pellets for spectroscopy. Automation greatly improves sample
uniformity and frees the technician for other tasks, as this press will operate unattended.
In automatic mode, this press performs a complete pressing cycle. On starting, it goes to
a selected pressure, maintains the pressure for a set time, and drops the pressure to zero
over a programmed interval. On completion of the cycle, the press returns the platen
back to the base position and makes an audible signal indicating it is ready for the next
sample.
The 3630 accepts all SPEX SamplePrep pellet dies and can also be operated manually as
a simple motorized press whose functions are under direct user control.
Safety features include a transparent polycarbonate door with system interlock,
and a pump cutoff in case of system or operator error.
- Unique programmable laboratory press.
- 35-ton hydraulic press for repetitive pressing of sample pellets.
- Automation improves sample uniformity, consistency and throughput.
- Program allows the technician to enter final pressure desired, time to hold at the
final pressure, and interval to return back to zero pressure.
- Typical pressing cycle is less than two minutes.
- Accepts all SPEX SamplePrep die sets.
- A safety interlock and automatic pump shut-off safety valve ensure safe operation.
- A European CEE 7/7 two-prong plug is supplied with each 3630-230 system.

Replacement or spare steel pellets for die operation can be purchased separately. For routine pressing of abrasive materials, SPEX SamplePrep offers 31 mm, 35 mm and 40 mm tungsten carbide pellets which can be substituted for polished steel pellets. (Tungsten carbide pellets are much harder than steel, but more brittle, and are not guaranteed against breakage.) All replacement pellets are sold in pairs.
SPEX SamplePrep Spec-Caps are shallow, thin-walled aluminum cups which are routinely used in the production of pressed-powder sample discs for OES, XRF, and other analytical techniques.
In the finished pellet, briquette, etc, the Spec-Cap forms the bottom and sides. Thus reinforced, sample discs are resistant to chipping and breaking, and are more easily handled, marked, and stored than unclad discs.
