Vacmobile ™™™™ 20/2 Mobile vacuum system with integral marine resin trap

A small machine with impressive performance – a single Vacmobile 20/2 recently infused a 42’ powerboat hull in Seattle, USA. (Bag for boat area = 2000 ft

/185 m

)

Collapsed down for transport Inset: Vacuum clamping port accessory One minute later – ready for use Primary uses Composite manufacturing processes such as resin infusion, prepreg and vacuum bagging over wet lay-ups. The Vacmobile 20/2 is also an ideal vacuum source for many vacuum clamping and lifting duties. Special features The Vacmobile 20/2 system is complete with an integral resin trap and vacuum level control. It provides exceptional vacuum performance from a compact package. All vacuum joints are ultra-rugged to ensure vacuum integrity over a long working life. The machine’s normal working height can be reduced to 620 mm (24.4”) for transport in most station wagons, making it ideal for transport between different work locations or for off-site repair work. Dimensions Length 470 mm (18.5”) Width 390 mm (15.4”) Normal working height 1065 mm (42”) Transport height 620 mm (24.4”) Weight Approximately 40 kg (88 lbs). Weight varies with pump model. Vacuum pump Becker U.20 or PVR EM 20/B, (PVR EM20 for special high vacuum applications) 50 Hz capacity 18 m
3 /h (10.6 cfm). 60 Hz capacity 21 m
3 /h (12.4 cfm) Vacuum level Adjustable from approximately 20% vacuum to maximum vacuum (10 mbar, 8 Torr, 29.6” Hg, -14.5 psi). (Higher vacuum capabilities to special order.) Resin catch pot 2 litres (4.2 US pints). Capacity may also be supplemented by external traps, such as the Vacmobile RT19/11. Vacuum ports 2 resin trap mounted ports for resin infusion and vacuum bagging. Optional port sizes to boat suit: • 3/8” – 10 mm, ½” – 13 mm, 5/8” - 16 mm, or ¾” - 19 mm OD (outside diameter) polyethylene tubing. On these tubing sizes, high integrity vacuum seals are achieved with external O-rings secured by hand-tightened gland nuts. This is the recommended sealing method. • Flexible tubing with the above ID’s (inside diameters) via suitable adapting tubes • 3/8” BSP or ¾” BSP/NPT male threads Power supply Either 230 V, 50/60 Hz or 110 V, 60 Hz, single phase Accessories Vacuum clamping port, complete with dust filter, L-port valve and ¾” male Camlock connection. The L-port valve allows rapid vacuum release and automatic reverse flow filter cleaning in dusty applications.
