What is a Hydraulic Discharge Machine?
A hydraulic discharge machine, or hydraulic ram discharge press, is a hydraulic pressure machine that specifically designed to extract high viscosity materials from mixing vessels.
Our discharge presses are engineered to integrate seamlessly with planetary mixers and multi-shaft vacuum mixers. The hydraulic system drives the platen into the vessel, ensuring efficient extrusion for heavy pastes.
High viscosity discharge equipment is a must for processing materials that cannot flow due to their density – such as battery electrode slurry, silicone sealant, adhesive compounds, cosmetic creams, and food pastes.
Wide Viscosity Range
The machine can take care of the materials with the viscosity of ten thousand up to over one million CPS efficiently.
Precision Sealing System
A sealing ring that has been made according to the specifications keeps on the walls of the vessel during the whole discharge process.
Adjustable Speed Control
The speed can be adjusted in a variable manner by regulating the hydraulic system pressure.
Shared Vessel Design
It works with the vessels of the planetary and vacuum mixers.

Machine Insights
How Does a Hydraulic Discharge Machine Work?
Understanding the Working Principle of the Hydraulic Ram Discharge Press of a structure diagram of IDA Hydraulic Ram Discharge Machine connected to a Planetary Mixer, in terms of Pascal's Law, helps a learner appreciate the significance of key components in its energy transformation.
Four steps ensure the complete removal of the product with maximum efficiency:
Step 01
Positioning
Place the mixing vessel within the discharge press frame and secure it in position.
Step 02
Plate Descent
The hydraulic system lowers the pressure plate right into the vessel, an act that seals the ring as well.
Step 03
Discharge
The hydraulic pressure then forces the material out through the discharge outlet at a controlled flow rate.
Step 04
Extraction
The scraping of the sealing ring against the walls permits in excess product recovery of above 98%.
Hydraulic discharging machines are generally divided into lifting type and fixed type; they are realized by a uniquely designed hydraulic system.
The Lifting Type
Can lift the barrel support frame separately while the pressing plate can be lifted up and down to press the material, convenient for receiving the material when discharging from the bottom.The Fixed Type
Generally uses a hose to discharge the material at the discharge port of the pressing plate, or a bottom valve to discharge the material; the lifting speed can be adjusted by the pressure value.

🔋 Lithium Battery Industry
EV Battery Manufacturer Achieves 99.2% Slurry Yield with Custom Hydraulic Discharge System
How a leading EV battery producer eliminated material waste and increased production capacity by 40%
Client Background
The company PowerCell Technologies Inc. is a rapidly expanding manufacturer of Texas-based lithium ion batteries. The company provides battery cells to producers in the electric vehicle and energy storage system industries. With more than 2 GWh of annual production, PowerCell Technologies Inc. needed dependable machinery for the processing of electrode slurry materials, which included cathode (NMC, LFP) and anode (graphite) pastes, with viscosities in the range of 20,000 to 80,000 cPs.
The Challenge
- Severe Material Loss: The company had a gravity discharge system, which is an emptying system that uses gravity to work. The company's system only reached an 85% to 90% product yield, meaning there was lots of slurry material waste, and increased costs for the raw materials.
- Air Bubble Contamination: When the slurry is used to coat a part of the battery, air bubbles can cause performance issues in the battery. Manual scraping introduced air bubbles into the slurry, which was a problem.
- Long Batch Changeover: The process of scraping the mixer tank was very tedious and took over 45 minutes to clean. This created a bottleneck for the customers and drew the tank down over 45 minutes to fill. This was an issue for customers.
- Inconsistent Quality: The quality of the slurry was often inconsistent because the discharge pressure was not the same from one batch to the next. This made it very hard to achieve consistent electrode coating, which is an important part of the battery overall performance.
Our Approach
In collaboration with PowerCell's engineering team, we devised our own design and created a custom press system, with hydraulic rams and discharge systems, integrated with the existing 1000L double planetary mixer:
- Vacuum-Sealed Discharge: A completely vacuum sealed environment during discharge ensures the prevention of any air bubbles.
- Programmable Pressure Control: A PLC-controlled hydraulic with programmable pressure control (0-60PSI) permits varying control depending on the different slurry mix formulations.
- PTFE-Coated Press Plate: With a non-stick surface, material retention is eliminated and cleaning is simplified.
- Automated Cleaning Cycle: A built-in CIP (Clean-in-Place) system lessens the time needed for changeover.

🏭 Sealant & Adhesive Industry
Seal Silicone Sealant Producer Reduces Material Waste by 95% with Hydraulic Ram Discharge Press
Complete production line upgrade for a construction sealant manufacturer processing ultra-high viscosity materials
Client Background
SealPro Industries GmbH is a construction sealant manufacturer of medium company size headquartered in Germany with production plants for the European market. They are producers of one and two-component silicone sealants, polyurethane adhesives, and MS polymer products. The product viscosities reach from 200,000 up to more than 1,200,000 cPs – one of the most difficult materials to process in the industry.
The Challenge
- Extreme Viscosity Handling: Their MS polymer sealants exceed 1,000,000 cPs – far beyond the capability of conventional pump systems.
- Loss of Materials: 8-12% of every batch was trapped in the mixer. This equates to over €450,000 in waste annually.
- Safety of Employees: Cleaning the tanks manually put employees in the path of chemical fumes and the manual work caused injuries.
- Equipment Compatibility: Required a discharge system that was adaptable to their 500L and 1500L planetary mixers from a variety of manufacturers.
Our Solution
We provided a complete hydraulic discharge press system specially developed for sealant applications with ultra-high viscosity:
- High-Force Hydraulic System: Custom 80-ton hydraulic cylinder supplies various levels of pressure for materials up to 2,000,000 cPs
- Universal Mounting Design: No tools adjustable frame fits both existing mixer models
- Heated Press Plate: Integrated heating systems (up to 80°C) reduce viscosity for a faster flow during discharge
- Enclosed Operation: Workers can remain completely safe during discharge with our full containment design

Premium Skincare Brand Scales Production 3X with GMP-Compliant Discharge System
Fast Growing Cosmetics Company Supports Quality With Increased Output
Client Background
Lumière Cosmétiques is a premium skincare brand from France, known for high-end products like creams, serums, and treatment masks. With a new key account in retail, they were suddenly faced with the challenge of scaling up production to a monthly capacity of 8,000 kg. Previously, they had been producing 2,000 kg. Their products are rich emulsions with viscosities between 50,000-150,000 cPs, and they required gentle handling to maintain the active ingredients and the premium texture expected by end consumers.
The Challenge
- Potential Impact on Product Integrity: With the premium creams, traditional pump discharge would shear the delicate emulsions, negatively impacting their texture and stability.
- Meeting GMP Compliance: EU GMP and FDA 21 CFR cosmetic manufacturing guidelines apply to all the equipment in use.
- Contamination: No cross-contamination between different formulations.
- Space Constraints: The limited square footage of their current location necessitated a more compact solution for the equipment.
Our Solution
We built a customized, pharmaceutical-grade hydraulic discharge press for the production of cosmetic creams:
- Gentle Discharge Technology: Emulsions are preserved by low, uniform contraction and shear.
- Full 316L Stainless Steel: Fully GMP compliant, Interior Mirror-polished Ra≤ 0.4μm finish
- Tool-Free Disassembly: Quick-release press plate permits deeper cleaning seamless between batches
- Compact Platform Design: Elevated platform type conserves 40% floor space relative to direct mounted alternatives
