A pressed powder element forming machine is provided, in which an adjustable core insert is provided in a compression chamber of a machine body and a forming space is provided between the compression chamber and the core insert. A sealing cover is used to close the forming space through a breathable material. When making dry or wet pressed powder element, dry loose powder or wet loose powder is fed into the forming space and the core insert is actuated to press the dry loose powder or wet loose powder into pre-pressed powder blank. Simultaneously, an evacuating power source connected between the sealing cover and the machine body performs air evacuation or solvent extraction from the forming space, so as to press the loose powder into compact pressed powder element. In this manner, production efficiency of making pressed powder element is increased.

A sample encapsulation system includes a base, a chamber having an inlet and a chamber housing in which the chamber is housed. The chamber is fixedly mounted at least in part within the housing and the housing is movably mounted to the base. The system includes a cap, a first ram operably mounted to the cap for engaging the chamber inlet and a second ram positioned in the chamber opposite the inlet. The second ram is movable toward and away from the first ram. The chamber and housing are movable toward the cap for engaging the first ram with the chamber inlet during an encapsulation cycle and away from the cap, disengaging the first ram from the chamber inlet following an encapsulation cycle. The system includes heating and cooling assemblies and a temperature sensor located remotely from the chamber interior to automatically isolate cooling water to the system.
