MSK-HRP-03D Hot Rolling Press with Dual PID Temperature Controllers, 110°C Max, 8″ Diameter x 10″ Width Rollers
The MSK-HRP-03D hot rolling press is engineered for laboratory applications requiring precise calendaring of thin materials such as battery electrodes, plastic films, and soft metal foils. It enhances material density and surface quality by applying controlled heat and pressure through its dual heated rollers. This model features two independently controlled temperature zones, allowing for accurate and uniform heating up to 110°C, which is critical for consistent processing results.
The press accommodates rollers with an 8-inch diameter and 10-inch width, made from high-quality Cr-plated tool steel with a surface hardness of HRC 60-62. The gap between rollers is adjustable from 0 to 2 mm with a micrometer dial gauge providing 0.01 mm precision, enabling fine control over the rolling thickness. The rolling speed is digitally controlled, with a maximum linear speed of 60 mm/s, suitable for delicate materials.
Key Features
- Dual independent PID temperature controllers for upper and lower rollers, ensuring uniform heating up to 110°C.
- Adjustable roller gap from 0 to 2 mm with micrometer thickness indication (accuracy 0.01 mm).
- Rollers constructed from Cr-plated tool steel with hardness HRC 60-62 for durability and surface quality.
- Selectable rolling direction (forward and backward) for easy material handling.
- High torque 90 VDC motor with reducing gear (1:150) providing adjustable rolling speed up to 60 mm/s.
- Maximum rolling speed of 5.92 RPM with digital speed display.
- CE certification; additional UL, TUV, or CSA certifications available upon request.

Typical Applications
This hot rolling press is commonly used in battery research and manufacturing for calendaring electrodes to improve density and surface finish. It is also suitable for processing plastic films and soft metal foils where controlled heat and pressure are required to modify material properties without damage.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The unit includes a 6-foot power cable without a plug; the plug must be ordered separately. The rollers should not be used with materials harder than 50 HRC to avoid damage. For extended roller bearing life, regular lubrication is recommended. Multi-step thickness reduction is advised for delicate samples, reducing thickness by increments of 0.02 mm. Clean rollers after each use and apply lubrication if the press will be idle to prevent corrosion. Optional vertical rolling and roll-to-roll configurations are available at additional cost.
