MSK-HRP-04 Heated Rolling Press with 200°C Max Temperature, 8″ Width, Variable Speed, Argon Gas Compatible
The MSK-HRP-04 is a benchtop heated rolling press engineered for the precise preparation of thin electrodes and soft materials, particularly in flexible battery development. This equipment is designed to operate safely in an argon gas environment, making it suitable for materials sensitive to oxidation or contamination. It is ideal for reducing thickness and improving the density of coated electrodes without damaging delicate substrates.
This model features two independently controlled heating elements capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 200°C, allowing separate temperature regulation of each roller. The rollers have an effective width of 200 mm and are made from high-strength hardened steel with a hardness rating above RC 62. Their surfaces are chromium-plated to resist corrosion, ensuring durability and consistent performance. The roller gap is adjustable from 0 to 1.2 mm, with gap tolerance varying slightly depending on temperature.
Key Features
- Dual temperature controllers with 30 programmable segments each, enabling precise heating control up to 200°C.
- Rollers constructed from hardened steel (RC > 62) with chromium plating for corrosion resistance.
- Adjustable roller gap from 0 to 1.2 mm with mechanical dial gauge included for thickness measurement.
- High torque motor with reducing gear supports variable rolling speeds up to 26 mm/s, compatible with argon gas atmospheres.
- Safety features include warnings against rolling materials with hardness above RC 45 and precautions for heated roller surfaces.
- Optional upgrades available such as digital micrometer for enhanced thickness accuracy and roll-to-roll system for continuous processing.
- CE certified with options for NRTL or CSA certification upon request.

Typical Applications
The MSK-HRP-04 is primarily used for preparing thin electrodes in flexible battery research, enabling precise thickness reduction and densification of coated materials. It is also suitable for processing soft materials requiring controlled heating and rolling under inert atmospheres such as argon. This makes it valuable for research and development in battery electrode fabrication and other advanced material processing tasks where oxidation must be avoided.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The device includes a mechanical dial gauge for thickness measurement, with an optional digital micrometer upgrade available for higher precision. Users should avoid rolling materials with hardness exceeding RC 45 to prevent damage. The roller surface temperature may differ from controller readings due to environmental factors; periodic calibration with a thermocouple calibrator is recommended. Multi-step thickness reduction is advised, limiting each pass to a maximum decrement of 0.02 mm. The rollers should be cleaned after each use with acetone to prevent corrosion, and lubrication is recommended when the machine is idle. The heated rollers must not be touched during operation for safety. Optional roll-to-roll systems and vertical rolling configurations can be customized at additional cost. The unit is CE certified, with other certifications available upon request.
