MSK-HRP-22 Vertical Hot Rolling Press with Dual Independent Temperature and Speed Control, 200°C Max, 100mm Rollers
The MSK-HRP-22 is engineered for laboratory-scale hot rolling applications, particularly suited for processing flexible films and dry electrode sheets used in lithium-ion and solid-air battery research. Its vertical configuration facilitates gravity feeding of materials, enabling efficient shear force application during rolling to achieve uniform thickness and enhanced material properties.
This rolling press incorporates two 100mm diameter steel rollers, each independently controlled for temperature and speed. The system supports a maximum operating temperature of 200°C, with dual-zone temperature control allowing precise heating of the front and rear rollers. The asynchronous speed control enables adjustment of roller speeds between 0.5 to 12.5 RPM, translating to actual rolling speeds from 2.6 to 65 mm/sec, optimizing processing conditions for various materials.
Key Features
- Dual independent temperature controllers with 30 programmable segments, temperature range RT to 200°C, ±5°C accuracy.
- Two 100mm diameter CrMoV steel rollers with HRC 52 hardness, suitable for rolling materials up to 40 HRC hardness.
- Asynchronous roller speed control via touchscreen, adjustable from 0.5 to 12.5 RPM with digital speed and pressure display.
- Vertical rolling position enabling gravity feeding and shear force application; horizontal setup option available for dry cathode film formation.
- Digital pressure display with built-in load cell, measuring real-time and maximum pressure up to 2 tons force (displayed in kgf).
- Manual roller gap adjustment with 0.001mm resolution for precise thickness control up to 1.8 mm.
- Separate control unit with touchscreen interface; optional RS-485 communication and PC software available.

Configuration & Operating Notes
The MSK-HRP-22 can be installed inside an inert atmosphere glovebox with optional KF40 feedthrough ports for control unit placement outside the glovebox. Users should avoid rolling materials harder than 40 HRC to prevent roller damage. Multi-step calendaring with thickness decrements not exceeding 0.02 mm per pass is recommended for optimal results. Roller surfaces must be cleaned before and after use, and lubricated during idle periods to prevent corrosion. The heating rods are consumable and replaceable. Optional accessories include multi-layer rolling configurations and PC interface software.
