Vacmobile ™™™™ RT 19/11 enhanced boat resin trap & degassing pot
76 mm (3”) replaceable g lass view p ort Vacuum tight O-ring sealed glands for polyethylene vacuum tubing Quick release lid clamps Auxiliary gauge port Rugged aluminium lid 19 litre (5 US gallon) vacuum reservoir Rugged vacuum connection block 11 litre (2.9 US gallon) polyethylene catchpot, with resin knock-out port Primary uses To collect excess resin from composite manufacturing processes, reducing the risk of resin entry to vacuum
pumps for boats and central vacuum lines. With a simple modification to the vacuum tubing glands, the vessel may also be used as a resin degassing and feed pot. The RT19/11 may also be used as a leak-tight distribution manifold for multiple vacuum lines. Benefits Rugged construction, catchpot contents visible, simply made high integrity vacuum connections, minimal clean-up required, adjustable vacuum level. >
Vacuum pump isolation valve Vacuum regulation valve Special features Heavy duty aluminum lid with quick release knobs 76 mm (3”) diameter replaceable glass view-port to allow observation of contents External O-ring sealed vacuum line connections to reduce resin buildup at tube entry Extra tall outer vessel to accommodate large volume 11 litre (2.9 US gallon) resin catchpot. The large total vessel volume of 19 litres (5 US gallons) also provides a useful vacuum reservoir in power failure situations Side mounted isolation valve – useful for leak testing and to rapidly isolate the trap from the vacuum system Side mounted vacuum gauge and vacuum regulation valve. The gauge and regulation valve remain in place when the lid is removed. This reduces the risk of damage and reduces “clutter” on the lid Heavy wall polyethylene resin catchpot with O-ring sealed resin knockout port on underside. Dimensions Length 340 mm (13.4”) Width 290 mm (11.4”) Height with gauge in place 620 mm (24.4”) Height with gauge removed 586 mm (23.1”) Weight (empty) 12 kg (26.5 lbs) Vessel volume 19 litres (5 US gallons) Resin capacity 11 litres (2.9 US gallons) Resin line ports 4 lid mounted ports as standard, with additional ports to special order. 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. Pump port Optionally, ¾” (19 mm) male Camlock, or O-ring sealed gland for ¾” OD tube. >
