Model RJ Machine Base
An optional heater control box controls the die temperature of metal-die compression stations. Temperature control is not available with plastic-die compression stations..
The RJ’s controls are easy to understand and use. There are no electronics (except with the heating option). A toggle valve opens or closes the compression station. The closing is limited by either an adjustable stop screw or by a force balance against your product sample, adjustable via the pressure regulator / gauge.
