Evacuable integrated mini press and die system

This evacuable integrated mini press and die system is designed to produce KBr pellets with a diameter of 8.5 mm. The sample is pressed between two screws with polished end surfaces. A hydraulic press is not required. The press die can be either be held in place by a table attachment at one end and tightened with an open-ended spanner at the other end, or fastened with two open-ended spanners at both ends, without table mounting. The press die body serves at the same time as pellet holder and is inserted directly into the spectrometer sample holder with an additional 3“ x 2“ (76.2 mm x 50.8 mm) mounting plate.
