THE VACUTHERM MEMBRANE PRESS
Veneering & Laminating System for Wood Based Components...

Using vacuum technology, the Vacutherm utilises the air around us to veneer and laminate both flat and shaped components for a variety of woodworking trades, including furniture making, boatbuilding, shopfitting, kitchen manufacturing, in fact wherever there is a need for curved doors, panels, rails etc. In addition the Vacutherm is ideal for forming shaped parts in Corian or other Solid Surface materials, when coupled with the Mikutherm preheating machine.

Short cycle pressing is achievable with a choice of heated platens and the optional ThermaWing infra-red heater and laminated components can be pressed with one-piece formers only, eliminating the need for female formers and saving on development time.

 



Finance available and optional standard or heated platens with a choice of sizes + the optional overhead heater.
