Rockland Research produces presses that are capable of pressures up to 1000 metric tons.
Our presses are available in sizes for all experimentation arenas and can be delivered with either the Walker Multi-Anvilor Cubic Multi-Anvil apparatus. Shown here is a 1000-ton multi-anvil press in Professor Paul Asimow's lab. The press uses two separate modules which switch in and out on a convenient rail system: a 6-8 type Walker module and a Getting-designed cubic-anvil module.
