Another stirrer system made its way off out of the workshop this week. This one is en route to Portugal, or “a caminho” as the Portuguese would say. The motorised stirrer system is a variable speed motorised vacuum paddle stirrer, available as a direct replacement for the 42, 76 and 118 litre degassing chamber lid, with […]
This customer wanted an ACC34-PT but with modifications to the submerge plate. Rather than use the submerge plate attached to the lid to push the product under water, they wanted to suspend their product into the water from above. This simple modification, turning the submerge plate into a stand, was perfect for them.
These two custom vacuum chambers are custom sized and designed to fit inside another chamber, with specified ports for the vacuum line, venting valve and any other feedthroughs the customer will need in the future. Made from 304L stainless steel with 316L stainless steel sockets. Clear cast acrylic lid with nitrile ‘L’ gasket. one 15L […]
This acrylic package testing chamber was one of two designed around testing the seal integrity of the foil lid on a cartridge. The test rig holds around 50 cartridges and the operator needed good 360 degree view during the process. Acrylic vacuum chambers are ideal for applications like these, however this product has potentially dangerous […]
Vacuum Bagging Vacuum bagging is a very flexible process for consolidating fibre-reinforced polymer laminates of a wide range of shapes and sizes. The composite to be consolidated (e.g. a prepreg or hand lay-up) is placed on a single-sided mould. The material is then covered with an impervious film (the “vacuum bag”), which is sealed around […]
Here are two fully stainless steel custom sized 8ltr vacuum chambers with acrylic lids made for a customer in the aerospace industry. These high quality chambers are constructed with 304L stainless steel bodies and 316L stainless manifold. The customer is using water in some of their experiments and needed a chamber that would be more […]
This custom Bell Jar system houses 3 x 12kV electrical feedthroughs and an earthing point for the customer to perform various tests on their products. The pump supplied with it is a DVP.LC4 which has an ultimate pressure of 2mbar. The system is fitted with a digital gauge accurate to ± 0.25% FS, and a […]
This system was completely designed from the top down to fully automate the degassing and casting process from start to finish at just the press of a button by the end user. The software controls the opening and closing of all of the corresponding solenoid valves and opening and closing of the pneumatic pinch valve […]
