Description
The VACUPRESS 528 LC is a compact but powerful vacuum pump unit designed to deliver dependable vacuum power for small to medium vacuum presses, lamination setups, or multi-station workshop environments. Built for ease of use, stability, and flexibility, the 528 LC supports up to three compatible vacuum-presses — making it an ideal central vacuum source for orthotics, prosthetics, custom footwear, and small-batch manufacturing workshops.
Key Features & Advantages
-
Adequate vacuum capacity for multiple stations: The 528 LC delivers a vacuum flow of approximately 6 m³/h and can sustain vacuum levels down to ~60 mbar, enabling it to reliably power up to three vacuum presses or forming units simultaneously.
-
Compact, maintenance-free and oil-free design: As an oil- and maintenance-free piston-based unit, the 528 LC is low maintenance and suitable for workshop environments — ideal for clinics, labs, or small manufacturing setups.
-
Versatile connection and portability: With a compact footprint and standard vacuum-hose connector (e.g. 13 mm ID hose), the pump can be placed flexibly and connected to multiple devices — useful when you want a central vacuum supply for several thermoforming units or lamination stations.
-
Stable vacuum supply — even with multiple tools: The pump’s design ensures stable suction pressure, critical for consistent thermoforming of insoles, orthotic shells, and other vacuum-drawn components.
-
Good match for small-to-medium workshops: Its balance of power and compactness makes it ideal for orthotic or prosthetic labs, custom footwear workshops, small clinics, or any setting where multiple vacuum presses need a shared, reliable vacuum source.
Typical Use Cases
-
Providing vacuum supply for vacuum-forming units (insoles, foot orthoses, custom shells) when a master pump is preferred over individual pumps.
-
Supporting multi-station lamination or vacuum-forming workflows — especially when operating several small presses in parallel.
-
Use in orthotics, prosthetics or custom footwear workshops where compact, maintenance-free, and stable vacuum supply is required.
-
Portable or shared vacuum system setups, e.g. mobile clinics, small labs, or workshops with limited space, where flexibility and ease-of-use are priorities.
