The vacuum chamber press has been specially developed for the production of large elastomer seals. The vacuum chamber reliably prevents unwanted air pockets in the seal. The fact that only round tools are used on this machine allows for a round heating plate and a round vacuum chamber.
The main advantage of this configuration is significantly improved accessibility and thus significantly improved ergonomics for the operator, especially when inserting blanks into the lower tool. This ergonomic advantage is particularly beneficial for tools with a diameter of <1500 mm. Another advantage of the round heating plates is that the heating plate size can be reduced by more than 20%.
This saves energy.
