Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the main advantage of the GHEXA-MNT-EQP-HOT-002 over single-sleeve models? A: The dual-sleeve design allows simultaneous or sequential mounting of two samples, doubling throughput and reducing overall preparation time in high-volume labs.

Q: Which mounting media are compatible? A: It works excellently with bakelite powder, epoxy resin, acrylic powder, and other thermoforming resins. Choose based on sample heat sensitivity, hardness, and whether transparency is required—G-Hexa offers high-quality media options.

Q: Can I use different mold sizes simultaneously? A: Yes—different sleeve sizes can be used in each position (e.g., Φ30 mm and Φ40 mm), provided pressure settings are adjusted appropriately for each mold diameter.

Q: How does the cooling system work? A: Cooling can be automatic (ends when preset time or temperature is reached) or manual, with selectable high, medium, or low rates. Connect to tap water or an optional circulating water tank for efficient heat removal.

Q: Is the machine suitable for temperature-sensitive samples? A: Yes—the heating power is adjustable from 10–100%, and the surrounded heating ensures uniform temperature distribution. Lower power settings and slower cooling rates minimize risk to heat-sensitive materials.

Q: What water supply is required? A: Standard lab water line: inlet OD Φ8 mm, pressure <0.3 MPa. Outlet is OD Φ12 mm. For closed-loop operation, add the optional circulating water tank.

Q: How many parameter sets can be stored? A: The touchscreen allows storage of multiple complete programs (temperature, pressure, hold time, cooling mode/rate)—perfect for labs running standardized procedures for different materials or sample types.

Q: What power supply is needed? A: Single-phase 220 V, 30 A supply (common in Indian labs). Ensure proper circuit protection. G-Hexa provides detailed electrical specifications and installation guidance with every unit.
