For Corian® and thermoplastics
The Elkom Vacutherm Membrane Press has been developed in cooperation with the Air Press Company to provide a new technology in the forming of solid surface parts such as Corian®, thermoplastics, and acrylic.
The machine comes equipped with an Elkom Ökotherm patented heating/cooling platen in order to bring out the high temperatures of the plastic with a temperature controlled environment.
The machine is an ideal compliment to the Elkom Mikutherm preheating contact platen oven.
For mass production, we also offer cooling machines.
For Easy Manufacturing of Shaped Parts:
1. Lay the material on top of the mold
2. Close the aluminum frame
3. Turn the vacuum on, vacuum is provided in seconds
4. Timer gives a signal to remove the parts
Gas shock absorbers allow for easy access to the table
A combination silicon gasket/membrane quickly attaches to the aluminum to the aluminum frame
Manufacturing of shaped Corian®, solid surface, or acrylic glass with the Elkom Ökotherm cooling platen to increase the cycle time
Uniform vacuum is applied within seconds with the high performance vacuum system and perforated anodized platen
