Laboratory Products xxiii Enhancing precision analysis with platen press technology
Impact Solutions, a leading test laboratory and innovation centre, has recently expanded its capabilities with the adoption of a new package from Fontijne Presses. This package includes the installation of a Fontijne Presses LabEcon 600 Proview, along with commissioning and training provided by Intelicare.
With over 20 years of experience in materials and products testing, Impact Solutions required a press capable of producing plaques from various polymers for a range of physical and mechanical tests. The LabEcon 600 Proview, renowned for its accuracy and consistency, was chosen for its ability to meet the stringent requirements of international standards with efficiency and precision.
Gregg Falconer, Operations Manager at Impact Solutions, commented: “The collaboration between Intelicare and Fontijne has been instrumental in delivering a solution that allows us to produce plaques with enhanced precision and accuracy. We are already seeing the benefits of this partnership in our testing processes.”
The LabEcon 600 Proview offers precise control over pressure, temperature, and time, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results. Its modular design and customisable options accommodate different testing requirements, from compression moulding to sample preparation and curing processes. Moreover, the user-friendly interface simplifies operation and reduces training time for laboratory technicians.
Thomas Dobbie, Mechanical Test Engineer at Impact Solutions, noted: “We’ve been impressed with the consistency and surface finish of the plaques we’re producing, which has significantly increased our output. The LabEcon 600 Proview has streamlined our testing procedures and improved overall efficiency.”
Intelicare’s expertise played a crucial role in the successful commissioning of the LabEcon 600 Proview at Impact Solutions. Additionally, Intelicare provides comprehensive training and ongoing technical support to ensure optimal performance and minimal downtime.
The partnership between Intelicare, Fontijne Presses, and Impact Solutions exemplifies the importance of innovation and collaboration in advancing laboratory testing practices and driving progress within the manufacturing community.

Elite Thermal Systems Ltd UK has launched the TGA et500 and TGA et250. Elite Thermal’s Thermogravimetric Analysers (TGAs) are high- performance instruments that measure the weight change of a sample as a function of temperature. They are used for applications including coal, coke, cement, catalyst, feed, and foodstuffs.
Both models of Elite’s TGAs come with an integrated balance that combines Drying, Ashing and Weighing processes. This improves efficiency, precision, and provides high throughput. Elite’s TGAs are compliant with international standards including ASTM, ISO, DIN, EN and more.
TGA et500 includes a second carousel for automatic placement and removal of crucible lids for fully automatic analysis. TGA et250 is a cost- effective instrument with manual handling of crucible lids.
The TGA et500 features a dual carousel design, streamlining the automatic placement and removal of crucible lids. Equipped with a programmable furnace, this advanced thermogravimetric analyser ensures precision in thermal analysis. The thermally isolated balance, with a sensitivity of 0.0001g, enhances accuracy in weight measurements. Capable of analysing up to 19 samples, the TGA et500 offers versatility for various applications, including organic, inorganic, and synthetic samples. Its Windows-based software facilitates seamless operation with 16 editable programs and LIMS connectivity. The TGA et500 is designed to assess crucial parameters such as moisture, volatiles, ash, loss on ignition (LOI), and fixed carbon, providing comprehensive insights into sample composition and behaviour.
Elite Thermal Systems Ltd UK has scaled-up their operations by expanding to a new manufacturing facility. More information online:
