Question
I want to press compact powder for testing in small batches. I understand that commercial machines are very heavy (50kg+). What kind of tool or equipment is suitable for pressing compact powder on a small scale for testing purposes?
Answer
Regarding compact powder pressing machine
Based on the previous discussion, for pressing compact powder for commercial distribution, heavy machinery is typically required to achieve sufficient density.
Even small-scale lab machines for testing can weigh 50kg or more.
However, since you mentioned wanting to start with a small scale for testing, the staff recommended using a C-clamp as a manual alternative. This can provide better pressing quality than using hands alone.
C-clamps can be purchased at general hardware stores.
