Cold isostatic pressing (C.I.P.)

Cold isostatic pressing (C.I.P.)

Cold isostatic pressing (C.I.P.) is a high-pressure manufacturing process used to compact metal, plastic, composite or ceramic powders uniformly. C.I.P. parts are enclosed in a flexible, sealed container and immersed in a pressure vessel filled with a liquid at ambient temperature.

Our experience includes manufacturing pumps, valve racks and high-pressure vessels at pressure ranges from 10,000 to 60,000 psig (69 to 414 MPa). The process liquid is typically a non-corrosive water and soluble oil mixture. However some C.I.P. applications, such as food C.I.P. use water. Hydro-Pac pumps can be offered for both non-corrosive fluids and water.

FEATURES

• Robust, reliable, low-maintenance design.
• FC-SERIES pumps for productions class applications.
• Li’l Critter™ pumps for laboratory usage and test applications.
• Standard FC-SERIES and Li’l Critter™ pumps are double ended intensifiers with electro-hydraulic power units.
• Double ended pumps are typically used for filling large volumes.
• Single shot pumps used for smaller volumes. Single shot pumps eliminate the requirement and cost of let down valves.
• Custom control and piping systems can be quoted for any machine.
