Heated Hydraulic Press Experiment: Grass into Composite Material

Published 2024-01-27
In this video we use 100 ton Profi Press hydraulic press with heated press plates that can heat up to 200c or 390f. With this machine we turn waste material grass into bio composite that has many use cases. We also try turn pure grass into wood with pressure and heat from the machine.

Hydraulic heated platen presses are extremely versatile pieces of machinery. Not only are they widely used to form production parts that require both a controlled temperature and forming pressure across many industries, but they can also be used in testing and laboratory environments.

  • Huge thanks to Avans applied sciences fieldlab / MNEXT, go check them out here www.mnext.nl/en/ We had a really fun visiting and could spend whole week there with the amazing team. We also made some high end toilet paper research but that's going to be separate video :D Also let me know what do you think about visiting laboratories and factories to see presses on some real work also now and then. We filmed 4 videos like this in Netherlands coupe months ago with Profi Press team.

    You turned a simple "I crush everything channel" into a real science channel. Good job 👍🏻
  • @EDoyl
    When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you have a 100-ton hydraulic press, everything really is a nail. "Have you tried just crushing it really hard? what happens?" is a science
  • If all else fails, " crush the shit out of it". That would be a good T-shirt
  • @RoboticParanoia
    I'm really happy in the way Profi Press is dealing with your channel. They just let you try to blow stuff up in their client's presses. I liked those guys.

    I am writing this down "The first tip to success is it doesn't explode." One of my very favorite channels. Keep up the great work!
  • @JemTheWire
    I never realised when I started watching your channel that I would get so much enjoyment watching 'mad' people crushing anything and everything under the Sun. Your humour is very infectious too. Thank you.
  • @matsboswijk4985
    Funny. You instantly hear that she's Dutch. Go Netherlands! ;-)
  • @MikkoRantalainen
    HPC getting 3x higher performance press for video production than the university is using for science is pretty insane!
  • @elemar5
    Lori's special material is what we call in the UK, Weetabix. 😁
  • @jansenart0
    I love that HPC makes scientists (or at least engineers) curious!
  • @spcpitts
    An actual video that's not a short? You've got my attention.
  • @Mnnvint
    "But it doesn't matter, we have fire truck" - it's always fun when Lauri references something you know about because you followed his channel for so long (that he drove a ZIL in the military was another thing I already knew when he blew one up!)
  • @RemcovanZuijlen
    Dutch accent noticed and Albert Heijn grocery bag spotted.. this feels familiar.
  • @jtrythall
    I LOVE that you're including students in these experiments. I went to a Technical High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We worked one week in shops, and the next week was academics. It shaped my future and I'm here today because of it. Not that you need me to tell you this, but keep up the awesome work! I love the new additions to the channel, and the educational material as well.

    Your expansion is absolutely Beautiful! Thank you :face-red-heart-shape:
