The international standard For morethan 85 years Carver hydraulic presseshave been the standard for laboratoriesaround the world. Car ver Model Cpresses alone are in use in more labo-ratories than any other press. The cur-rent Carver line has been expanded andimproved with more sizes, options, fea-tures, and quality performance than anyother line of presses.

The widest choices Standard choicesnow include two-column and four-col-umn, benchtop and floor standing, andmanual and automatic presses withclamping capacities from 12 to 100tons. Automatic “Auto Series” pressesinclude user-friendly microprocessorbased controls and integral safety en-closures. Accessories include new self-contained, electrically operated AutoPakhydraulic power unit for retrofit to exist-ing manual Carver presses.

Applications• Materials research: ceramics, compos-ites, construction materials, cosmetics,drugs, pharmaceuticals, powder metals,printed circuit boards, rubber, siliconeand other elastomers, soil, thermoplas-tic resins and thermosets• Quality and performance testing ofphysical proper ties: compressionstrength, flexural strength, shearstrength, flow and color dispersion.• Laboratory testing: ASTM test plaqueor bar molds for polyethylene and polypro-pylene.• Laminating: credit cards, ID cards,plaques and printed circuit boards• Other applications: composite mold-ing, compression molding, crushing, en-capsulation, extrusion, forming, insertpressing, producing KBr pellets for infra-red spectroscopy, metal forming (dim-pling), insert molding, oil extraction, pel-

letizing, specimen preparation, splicemolding, splitting chilled oils, transfermolding, and vulcanizing rubber stamps.

Specialized applications Specialpresses dedicated to specific applica-tions include ASTM test plaque or barmolding, pellet making (KBr specimensfor infrared and x-ray spectroscopy),laminating and rubber stamp molding.

Custom presses, too In addition tothe models shown in this catalog,Car ver designs and manufactures awide variety of custom made pressesand accessories to suit your specificapplication.

Digital (“D”) Control Description:

The Digital (“D”) control system controlsthe desired pressure, speed and dwelltime, and displays the press status.The following features are included withthe Digital (“D”) version:

• Ten (10) recipe storage of pressureand time settings

• Digital control of pressure anddwell time

• Digital pressing speed adjustment• Adjustable end of cycle alarm• Auto opening of platens upon cycle

completion• Units of measure setting for KG,

lbs or US tons• Optional manual cooling

• Ten (10) recipe storage of tempera-ture, pressure and time settings

• Optional automatic water coolingand air purge

The normal operating cycle consists ofclosing the press with the dual “anti-tie-down” buttons and building force tothe selected setpoint of the first seg-ment of the recipe, maintaining thissetpoint for the dwell time specified forthat segment, repeating this cycle ofbuilding or maintaining force for theother segments, and eventually open-ing the press.

Platen temperature can also be ad-justed for each segment of the recipeas part of the “Programmable” controlsystem.

*Model "B" ASTM includes heated and cooling platens. (See page 10)

Carver’s Monarch laboratory presseswith integral hydraulic system andhigh technology options are based onstandard production press modelsadapted to precision laboratory re-quirements.

Recommended for testing or re-search, compacting, molding rubberor plastic, laminating and assemblywhere stripping pressure is required.

Standard features include double-acting J.I.C. style cylinder for poweropen and power close. An integral hy-draulic reservoir is easily accessiblefor cleaning and includes a straineror cartridge filter, air filter/breather,oil level indicator and oil cooler. A pro-grammable controller with accessmodule is standard.

Optional equipment includes elec-trically heated platens to 600°, 800°or 1200°F, with digital temperaturecontrollers, low pressure system,pressing speed control and automaticplaten cooling.

Carver’s Monarch laboratory presseswith integral hydraulic system andhigh technology options are based onstandard production press modelsadapted to precision laboratory re-quirements.

Recommended for testing or re-search, compacting, molding rubberor plastic, laminating and assemblywhere stripping pressure is required.

Standard features include double-acting J.I.C. style cylinder for poweropen and power close. An integral hy-draulic reservoir is easily accessiblefor cleaning and includes a straineror cartridge filter, air filter/breather,oil level indicator and oil cooler. A pro-grammable controller with accessmodule is standard.

Optional equipment includes elec-trically heated platens to 600°, 800°or 1200°F, with digital temperaturecontrollers, low pressure system,pressing speed control and automaticplaten cooling.

Digital (“D”) Control Description:

The Digital (“D”) control system controlsthe desired pressure, speed and dwelltime, and displays the press status.The following features are included withthe Digital (“D”) version:

• Ten (10) recipe storage of pressureand time settings

• Digital control of pressure anddwell time

• Digital pressing speed adjustment• Adjustable end of cycle alarm• Auto opening of platens upon cycle

completion• Units of measure setting for KG,

lbs or US tons• Optional manual cooling

• Ten (10) recipe storage of tempera-ture, pressure and time settings

• Optional automatic water coolingand air purge

The normal operating cycle consists ofclosing the press with the dual “anti-tie-down” buttons and building force tothe selected setpoint of the first seg-ment of the recipe, maintaining thissetpoint for the dwell time specified forthat segment, repeating this cycle ofbuilding or maintaining force for theother segments, and eventually open-ing the press.

Platen temperature can also be ad-justed for each segment of the recipeas part of the “Programmable” controlsystem.

The international standard For morethan 85 years Carver hydraulic presseshave been the standard for laboratoriesaround the world. Car ver Model Cpresses alone are in use in more labo-ratories than any other press. The cur-rent Carver line has been expanded andimproved with more sizes, options, fea-tures, and quality performance than anyother line of presses.

The widest choices Standard choicesnow include two-column and four-col-umn, benchtop and floor standing, andmanual and automatic presses withclamping capacities from 12 to 100tons. Automatic “Auto Series” pressesinclude user-friendly microprocessorbased controls and integral safety en-closures. Accessories include new self-contained, electrically operated AutoPakhydraulic power unit for retrofit to exist-ing manual Carver presses.

Applications• Materials research: ceramics, compos-ites, construction materials, cosmetics,drugs, pharmaceuticals, powder metals,printed circuit boards, rubber, siliconeand other elastomers, soil, thermoplas-tic resins and thermosets• Quality and performance testing ofphysical proper ties: compressionstrength, flexural strength, shearstrength, flow and color dispersion.• Laboratory testing: ASTM test plaqueor bar molds for polyethylene and polypro-pylene.• Laminating: credit cards, ID cards,plaques and printed circuit boards• Other applications: composite mold-ing, compression molding, crushing, en-capsulation, extrusion, forming, insertpressing, producing KBr pellets for infra-red spectroscopy, metal forming (dim-pling), insert molding, oil extraction, pel-

letizing, specimen preparation, splicemolding, splitting chilled oils, transfermolding, and vulcanizing rubber stamps.

Specialized applications Specialpresses dedicated to specific applica-tions include ASTM test plaque or barmolding, pellet making (KBr specimensfor infrared and x-ray spectroscopy),laminating and rubber stamp molding.
