Bonding Solutions Vacuum Press
Uses standard compressor only 18psi required
No expensive vacuum pump needed
Large capacity 8 x 4 feet bag as standard
Achieves full vacuum in 2 minutes (1,800 lbs per square foot)
Even clamping pressure over whole surface
Vacuum pressing is the most effective way to clamp veneering work and light weight laminations, providing an even and massive clamping pressure over the whole surface. Also as the air is removed from the timber pores greater glue penetration is encouraged creating thinner glue lines and the most effective keying of the bond. By extracting the air from the vacuum bag and creating a vacuum the full weight of atmospheric pressure bears down on the contents of the bag exerting an evenly distributed pressure of 1800lb per square foot. By using your own standard air compressor instead of an expensive vacuum pump the cost of the unit is minimised while the effectiveness of operation is not. Needing only 18psi to function a large compressor is not necessary to develop a full vacuum in only 2 minutes. The large capacity 2.44m x 1.22m (8 x 4 feet) vacuum bag is supplied as standard and will accommodate most projects. If you are laminating with a vacuum press it is only necessary to provide a one piece former as the vacuum bag will provide an even pressure as it moulds the timber into the shape of the former.
