Presi Mecapress 4 – The Benchmark for Fully Automatic Hot Mounting

Precision, speed, and reproducibility: The Mecapress 4 by Presi sets new standards in metallographic sample preparation through fully automated workflows and ultimate user-friendliness.

In modern laboratories, efficiency is paramount. The Mecapress 4 was engineered to optimize the mounting process while guaranteeing superior sample quality. Through precise control of pressure, temperature, and time, you achieve perfect edge retention and minimal shrinkage—the ideal foundation for any professional cross-sectional analysis.

Why choose the Mecapress 4 for your laboratory?

The Mecapress 4 is more than just a mounting press; it is an intelligent system that adapts to your specific requirements. Thanks to its high-speed heating and cooling system, cycle times are significantly reduced, while the intuitive user interface virtually eliminates operator error.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

• Fully Automatic Workflow: Features automatic mold closing, locking, and sample ejection for maximum safety and convenience.
• Significant Time Savings: Optimized heating and cooling cycles allow for extremely short turnaround times per sample.
• Modular Flexibility: Fast exchange of mold cylinders (available from Ø 25.4 mm to 50 mm). The system automatically detects the mold diameter.
• Intelligent Control: Large color touchscreen with storage for up to 100 personalized mounting programs.
• Precise Sensing: Real-time monitoring of all parameters ensures absolutely reproducible results, regardless of the operator.
• Eco-Friendly & Clean: Integrated water-saving system and easy access for maintenance and cleaning.

Technical Features:

• Pressure Range: Individually adjustable to suit both delicate and robust samples.
• Heating Performance: Rapid heating capabilities up to 200°C.
• Cooling: Three distinct cooling modes (Standard, Pulsed, Timed) to optimize water consumption and sample hardness.
• Safety: Complies with the latest CE safety standards, featuring sensor-based interlocking mechanisms.

The Ryf Recommendation:

We particularly recommend the Mecapress 4 for laboratories with high sample throughput or for users who demand the highest level of edge sharpness. When combined with Presi mounting resins (such as Resin 4 or 22.1), you achieve results that are perfectly prepared for subsequent automated polishing.
