DESCRIPTION
Design
All ECOPRESS models have electrohydraulic operation, which
do not require air. The sample is ejected fast and very
smoothly. All hydraulic components are housed in an ABS
cabinet, which is ergonomically designed.
ECOPRESS 52 is a cost effective automatic digital mounting
press with hydraulic pressure (requires no air). It is fully
automatic and suitable for all current hot mounting materials
used in materialography. User-friendly and modern-looking
control panel for mounting parameters provides high
productivity with last parameter settings being retained in the
memory. The control panel is specially designed to maximize
operator comfort and operation versatility. It is possible to set
mounting parameters in seconds.
ECOPRESS 52 is an easy to use mounting press. All button
controls, direct reading pressure gauge and valve are on the
front panel. Simply place the sample and the mounting media
in the cylinder and close the mold closure. Set the “Molding
Temperature”, “Heating Time”, “Cooling Time” and “Pressure”
then press the “Start” key. Pressure, heating and cooling are
automatically controlled and the total cycle time for a
complete cool mount takes 8 to 10 minutes. The actual
heating temperature and the heating time are digitally
displayed throughout the moulding cycle. The last parameter
settings are always retained in the memory. An audible signal
notifies the operator when the process is completed.
ECOPRESS 102/202 are high capacity, state of the art
automatic mounting presses having advanced software with
programmable colored HMI touch screen controls. Robust
bayonet closure allows for quick and safe operation. Wide
selection of mould assemblies from 25 to 50 mm in diameter
are available. Two mounts can be produced simultaneously
with the use of an intermediate ram. ECOPRESS 202, available
with dual cylinder can produce four mounts at a time offering
a perfect solution for labs with high specimen throughput.
ECOPRESS 102/202 have preprogrammed moulding
sequences built-in (factory set) from which you can choose
according to your own applications. You only need to place
the sample in the mould, select the program number for your
specific application and depress the “Start” button. That is it!
ECOPRESS does the rest for you! After pressing the start key,
the fully automatic program sequence is executed with the
preselected parameters. The pressure, heating and cooling
are automatically controlled and the total cycle time of a
complete cool mount takes 8 to 10 minutes. The parameters
can be changed and adjusted during the mounting process.
ECOPRESS 102/202 has additional capacity to store up to 99
operator-created programs. User-friendly program data and
instructions are displayed on a large touch screen LCD.

using less hot mounting powders than the required can
scratch the mould assembly. Please keep in mind that this
kind of damages due to operator fault are not covered by
warranty.
Tighten these
screws

13
Using Intermediate Ram
You can get double mounts in one cycle by using
intermediate ram. After placing your first sample and
mounting compound, insert the intermediate ram with the
help of the magnetic ram holder. Then put your second
sample and mounting compound.
Please clean the material accumulated at the groove of the
intermediate ram as shown below before each operation for
safety.
Intermediate Ram before Operation
Intermediate Ram after Operation
Be sure that the resin that you put on the sample exceeds
the sample height enough.
Maximum height of the samples should be 10 mm.
If the put resin is not enough, the sample may touch to
the upper ram or to the intermediate ram. This will distort
the intermediate ram and the inner surface of the mold
assembly.
Do not put your specimen close the edge of mould.
Otherwise, the sample may scratch the mould.
Each mounting compound has different melting and cooling
properties. Therefore, the working capacity and amount of
powder would be change for each powder. Below table
