Kipac Cold Isostatic Press Model 500 from Germany

Kipac Model 500 is a high-pressure cold isostatic press designed for densifying semiconductor-grade silicon carbide powders into near-net-shape components. Operating at pressures up to 500 MPa in a flexible mold submerged in fluid, it eliminates die-wall friction for uniform density crucial in wafer substrate production. Falls under HTS 8479.83.00.00 as a dedicated cold isostatic pressing machine.

Import Tips

Document maximum operating pressure and fluid medium type for proper 8479.83 classification

Prepare safety data sheets for pressurizing fluids; US customs often requires hazmat review

Avoid misclassification as molding machinery by emphasizing isostatic pressure uniformity
