Vacuum embedding unit laboratory and Oilfield instruments

The vacuum embedding unit has been developed for impregnating porous and fragile specimens with an adequate bonding material that fills pores, cracks and prevents fracture.
Up to 10 specimens can be processed sequentially without disrupting the vacuum.
The specimens are placed on a rotating plate in individual moulds inside the vacuum chamber.
A silent electrical vacuum pump, a pressure gauge and a vacuum regulating valve generate and maintain the vacuum.
Once the vacuum condition is established, the moulds are successively brought under the resin feeding nozzle and filled using a resin dispenser.

The resin dispenser consists of:

• A disposable plastic cup containing the resin
• A disposable plastic tube that channels the resin
• A rubber stopper ensuring effective sealing
• A ball joint allowing the tube to be manipulated and orientated inside the chamber
• A lamp helps to monitor the extraction of bubbles from the resin.
• The glass chamber prevents strong resin adhesion, therefore facilitating maintenance and cleaning.

• Turntable plate diameter: 200 mm
