Vacuum Shroud Design
Vacuum Chamber Press Features Power Vacuum Shroud and Energy Efficient Hydraulic System
Tonnage Range: 15 – 600 | Platen Size (“): 12×12 – 48×48
Integral vacuum chamber helps to ensure cavity filling and eliminate trapped air. Press can be equipped to press inserts as well as eject molded parts. Rapid clamping and pressing speed ensures a productive cycle time, while the tilting upper platen allows easy access for the operator to clean the mold between cycles. The PLC based control system can be configured to each specific application to ensure tight process control, data logging and storage of mold setups.
