SDS13.V is Across International's 13 mm diameter ID vacuum dry pressing die set. The live Across page describes it as a hardened steel die set for pellet presses, designed to make 13 mm diameter cylinder-shape pellets under vacuum conditions.

This die set is intended for dry vacuum pressing applications and uses a steel sleeve with a vacuum connector so the sample can be pressed in a vacuum environment.

Die Set Includes

• Two 13 mm ID core dies made of highly polished hardened steel.
• One steel sleeve with vacuum connector.
• One steel support plate.
• One pushing rod.
• Rubber sealing o-rings.
• One steel cylinder pellet ejector.

Important

Across instructs users to wear protective goggles and gear during operation, clean the die set with absolute ethyl alcohol after use, keep it in a dry box with silica gel to avoid rusting, never fill the die more than one third of the sleeve height, and never apply pressure beyond 15 tons.
