Presi Mecapress 5 – Double Efficiency for Fully Automatic Hot Mounting

Maximize your sample throughput: With the Presi Mecapress 5, you double your capacity. Two independent stations allow for maximum flexibility and efficiency in professional specimen preparation.

When time is a critical factor in the lab, the Mecapress 5 provides the ultimate solution. As the most powerful model in the Presi range, it features two separate mounting stations that can be operated simultaneously with different parameters (pressure, temperature, mold diameter). This makes it the ideal tool for laboratories with very high sample volumes or varying material requirements.

Why choose the Mecapress 5 for your laboratory?

The Mecapress 5 combines all the technological advantages of the Mecapress 4 but multiplies them by two. The intuitive system automatically recognizes the mold cylinders in use and manages complex heating and cooling cycles fully automatically. The result: perfect, gap-free mounts in record time.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

• Dual Independence: Two stations, two different processes. Operate a 50 mm mold at Station A while simultaneously running a 30 mm mold at Station B.
• Fully Automatic Locking: Highest level of operational safety thanks to the automated closing and opening system of the mounting chambers.
• Massive Time Savings: Optimized cooling modes (Standard, Pulsed, Timed) ensure extremely short cycles while minimizing water consumption.
• Intelligent Control Concept: A large 7" color touchscreen controls both stations clearly and offers storage for up to 100 individual programs.
• Superior Sample Quality: Precise pressure and temperature management guarantee excellent edge retention, essential for subsequent microscopic analysis.
• Compact Design: Despite the dual stations, the Mecapress 5 requires minimal bench space in your lab.

Technical Features:

• Stations: 2 independent mounting stations.
• Mold Diameters: Flexibly selectable from Ø 25.4 mm to 50 mm (quick-change system).
• Compressed Air: Requires an external compressed air connection for constant pressure force.
• Cooling: Integrated water management system to reduce consumption.
• Software: Easy transfer of programs via USB interface.

The Ryf Recommendation:

The Mecapress 5 is our "workhorse" for large industrial laboratories and research institutes. We particularly recommend this model if you need to process different mounting resins in parallel (e.g., conductive resin for SEM and standard resin for light microscopy) without any waiting time.
