Vakuumpressen
Vakuumpressen, commonly referred to as vacuum presses, are devices that apply uniform pressure to a workpiece by enclosing it in a sealed space and evacuating the air. A vacuum pump removes air from a bag, chamber, or platen, creating a pressure differential that draws the material onto a form. When used with heat, this setup also accelerates adhesive curing and thermoforming.
Vacuum presses come in several configurations. Vacuum bag presses use a flexible bag placed over veneers, laminates,
Common applications include veneering and plywood laminating in furniture and cabinetry, forming curved panels, and manufacturing
Advantages include uniform pressure over complex shapes, reduced glue spread, lower risk of moisture pockets, and
Safety and maintenance focus on preventing leaks, monitoring vacuum levels, and ensuring proper sealing of bags
