Bodycote HIP Cold Isostatic Press CIP-1000 from China
Bodycote's CIP-1000 series cold isostatic press handles large-volume production of semiconductor-grade alumina and sapphire green bodies up to 1000 mm diameter. Using oil as pressure medium at 400 MPa ambient temperature, it ensures void-free compaction for subsequent sintering into optical and substrate materials. Specifically classified as cold isostatic presses under HTS 8479.83.00.00.
