ArtMolds Vacuum Chamber


To assure a bubble-free mold when mixing rubbers and silicones a vacuum chamber is required. The ArtMolds Vacuum Chamber is design for deairing (eliminating air bubbles) in rubbers. This PVC chamber, along with ½-inch Lexan plates make a safe and efficient unit. The vacuum chamber comes with all fittings, gauge, rubber gaskets, and top and bottom ½-inch plates. All you need is your power source and a vacuum pump that will pull 29-inches of mercury needed to deair your materials.

We recommend the economical Robinair vacuum pump  4 CFM or higher, to use with your Vacuum Chamber.

Specifications:

Capacity:           4-gallons (approximately)

Dimensions:        10-inch diameter by 12-inch tall

Maximum Pull:      29-inches of mercury

Weight:              20-pounds

Vacuuming Process:

Mix your rubber according to the manufacturers directions. The mixing container must hold at least four times the amount of material you are vacuuming, to allow for the expansion of the material. Once your vacuum reaches 29-inches of mercury, the material will begin to rise (resembling foam). When the material falls it will plateau and not rise any more. You will want to continue to vacuum for another 2- 3-minutes to make certain all of the air has been removed from your material. Release your vacuum, remove your material from the chamber. Pour the material slowly starting from the corner of the mold box, or mold, letting the material to flow freely into the box or mold cavity. This method will usually not introduce any new bubbles into the vacuumed material. To insure that the material is totally devoid of air bubbles you can place the entire mold/mold box into the chamber for an additional few minutes. This will assist the material into difficult areas of the mold/mold box.

 

Assembly Instructions:

·        Thread your gauge onto the brass fitting that will attach to the vacuum chamber

·        Take the assembled fitting with gauge and thread it into the side of the chamber

·        Place the Lexan plates on flat surface

·        Place one of the red gaskets in the center of the Lexan plates

·        Place the PVC cylinder/Vacuum Chamber evenly in the center of the gasket

·        The second red gasket is placed on the top chamber

·        The second Lexan plate will be placed over that gasket to seal your Vacuum Chamber

·        Connect your vacuum source



CAUTION: PLEASE TAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING YOUR VACUUM CHAMBER. Always wear safety glasses, no close or prolonged viewing through Lexan plate. Never use the Lexan plate as a cutting surface.
