Optimise Material Integrity with the Vuototecnica DR Series
In composite manufacturing and casting, microscopic air bubbles drastically reduce the structural integrity and surface finish of the final product. The Vuototecnica Degasifier DR Range provides a robust, heavy-duty solution by achieving a final vacuum level of up to 99.5% within its sealed chamber. [1, 2]
By utilising a premium oil-bath rotary vane vacuum pump, these systems rapidly pull air pockets out of high-viscosity compounds, ensuring dense, defect-free polymer matrices. [1]
Key Technical Features
- High-Vacuum Efficiency: Reaches an ultimate pressure threshold of 99.5% vacuum depth to pull out stubborn, trapped macro and micro-bubbles. [1]
- Robust Construction: Built featuring a leak-proof, welded sheet steel autoclave tank paired with thick, manually removable transparent methacrylate lids for complete visual inspection during the de-aeration cycle. [1]
- Turnkey Assembly: Outfitted on a profiled steel frame integrated with an oil-bath rotary vane pump, three-way manual isolation valves, digital/analog vacuum switches, and integrated switchgear. [1]
- Flexible Configurations: Available in multiple model variations including the popular Vuototecnica DR 100 01, DR 100 02, and DR 100 M configurations to scale with your production volume. [1, 2]
Core Industrial Applications
The DR range is widely adopted across high-precision manufacturing environments including:
- Composite Material Prep: Stripping air from carbon fibre and fiberglass epoxy matrices prior to infusion or curing.
- Silicone & RTV Moulding: Ensuring crystal-clear and structurally sound silicone moulds without cosmetic surface blemishes.
- Electrical Encapsulation: Degassing potting materials to prevent hazardous dielectric breakdowns in electrical transformers and circuit boards. [1]
