This style of Powder Compaction Press produces larger-sized compacts in a segmented die which shuttles out. The die then splits open to expose the compact which can be easily lifted out, eliminating the need for a high-tonnage ejector which must be installed below floor level.

This 500 ton model (left) automatically feeds a weighed charge of powder into a segmented mold. Up to 500 tons of pressure compact the powder into shape. The mold segments automatically open, the press ejects the part and shuttles back for a refill from a loss-in-weight feeder.
