1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Specac product.
The Atlas™ Power 8T, 15T and 25T presses are automatic hydraulic
presses which have been designed for a wide variety of pressing
applications within the laboratory or heavy industrial environments. The
presses are specifically suited to the preparation of solid sample discs
using Specac Atlas™ evacuable pellet die assemblies, but they may
also be adapted to provide heated pressing surfaces by installation of
Specac Atlas™ Heated Platens P/N GS15515.
The Atlas™ Power presses enable the controlled application and
release of an applied load and can accommodate large samples up to
220mm in diameter and 155mm tall. They work by automatic motorised
pumping of an hydraulic fluid (oil) to raise a piston and compress a
sample held in the pressing area. The press consists of a motor, pump
and oil reservoir assembly from where the oil is transferred across to
the base of the pressing area and forced under the piston assembly.
As the oil pressure builds up in the press system the load being
applied to the sample will be registered on the electronic display. The
application of a load will continue until the required load is reached and
then held until released by the operator. The power unit is extremely
quiet and operates below 62 dB(A) making the presses ideal for use in
all environments.
The sample is held in the pressing area prior to compression by use of
a lead screw and top anvil pressing face mechanism. Incorporated into
this mechanism are compression disc springs that allow for a slow
release of any load to the sample pressing procedure. In the
compression process the disc springs will be initially compressed
before full resistance is met to stop the travel of the piston. hen any
stored load is released the disc springs will relax to their non-
compressed state and hence provide for a slow release of a full load.
An important part of the press is the safety guard mechanism. For any
operation of the press the safety guard must be in its closed (down)
position. Accidental raising of the guard, even if the press is under
Atlas™ Power 8T, 15T and 25T Hydraulic Presses

load, will automatically abort the pressing operation and reduce the
load from the system to render it safe. Please read section 3 on
pages 12 to 15 regarding sa e operation be ore using the press
or the irst time.
The Atlas™ Power Press is fully CE marked to comply with strict
European regulations.

2. Unpacking, C ecking and Installation.
Beware: The Atlas™ Power Press is very heavy and care must be
taken to transport it correctly. Please keep the press
packing materials for future transportation by reversing
the following procedure. This will protect you and the
press from accident or injury.
Remove the outer wooden box casing and the top layer packing card
(where the instruction manual was located) to lift clear of the base
pallet. There are 2 crosshead screws on 2 sides at the base of the box
that must be unscrewed to separate the box from the base pallet.
The Atlas™ Power Press is on a base packing piece which also holds
a lead screw assembly and special parts for a lifting “eye bolt”
assembly. An appropriate mains lead (or leads) will also be placed in
this area. Cut the straps that hold these items in place. You will need to
assemble the lifting eye bolt pieces through the press (where the lead
screw assembly is positioned for operation) to lift the press clear from
the pallet and its transportation packing.

Before the eye bolt can be put in place the internal packing in the press
must be removed. Cut the tape at the top of the plastic bag and around
the base of the bag and lift clear of the press. You will see that there is
further protective packing within the pressing area of the press behind
the safety guard. The safety guard is in the down position and held in
place by sticky tape to the base of the press on the outside. Remove
the sticky tape and raise the safety guard via the handle to gain access
to the internal pressing area. Remove the packing inside.
Now take the lifting eye bolt pieces and assemble through the top of
the press as shown in the diagram.

Note: Ensure that the pieces are firmly bolted together prior to
moving/lifting the press.

The press is now ready to be lifted off of the wooden pallet. The press
MUST be lifted into its working position using a suitable hoist (or crane)
with a lifting hook to pass through the eye bolt. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
LIFT THE PRESS BY ANY OTHER METHOD. hen the press has
been installed and the lead screw assembly has been fitted, for any
subsequent possible repositioning, the press should NEVER be lifted
via the lead screw handle. Always use the lifting eye bolt assembly
pieces for a re-siting operation.
