Carver pellet presses are designed to compact homogeneous powder into usable pellet samples. The pellet dies are made of 440 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and have replaceable anvils. Each die comes with a pellet ejector.

The 12-ton press (Model 4350) includes a 13 mm die for IR sample preparation, while the 40 and 50-ton presses (Model 4555 & 4565) come with a 31mm die for X-Ray sample preparation. These presses are also available without the die, meaning that the customer can select what ever die suits them best.
