VACUUM DEGASSING CHAMBERS – FURTHER INFORMATION

​Durable and Leak-Tight Degassing Chambers
Our degassing chambers are engineered for superior performance and reliability, featuring robust construction and meticulous manufacturing processes. The chambers are designed for immediate use, allowing you to connect a hose and vacuum pump and begin work right away.
 
 
Key Features and Manufacturing Process
  • Lid Materials: We manufacture chamber lids from a range of high-quality materials to suit various applications, including clear cast acrylic, glass, aluminium alloy, or stainless steel. Metal lids can be equipped with a viewport for convenient viewing.
  • Stress-Free Acrylic Lids: To ensure durability, all our acrylic lids undergo a temperature annealing process. This removes internal stresses that can occur during machining and polishing, preventing cracks and extending the lifespan of the lid.
  • Precision-Machined Seal Faces: The open end of each chamber is carefully machined after fabrication to create a perfectly level and smooth seal face. This precision ensures an optimal surface for the seal.
  • Reliable Sealing System: A nitrile rubber ‘L’ gasket provides a secure seal between the lid and the chamber, resulting in a completely leak-tight system.
  • Rigorous Leak Testing: Each degassing chamber is fully leak tested multiple times—during manufacturing and again after painting—to guarantee its integrity and performance.
  • Ready for Immediate Use: Chambers are shipped complete with all necessary seals and manifolds pre-fitted, meaning they are ready for immediate use upon arrival. Simply connect your hose and vacuum pump to get started.

 

All degassing chambers are covered by a 12 month warranty period.

All dimensions and size/volumes are approximate.

We understand that some applications require unique design solutions. If you can’t find the exact chamber you’re looking for in our stock products, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us for a custom design.
