The VACUPRESS 900 XR COOL-TEC is a top-tier vacuum-deep-drawing machine built for demanding orthopedic, prosthetic, orthotic, and custom footwear workshops. It combines a large forming frame with advanced heating, vacuum control, and a built-in cooling system — delivering precision forming for insoles, footbeds, orthoses, prosthetic shells, test shoes, and even composite parts.
Key Features & Benefits
Large formation area & versatile frame: The working frame measures 870 × 660 mm, allowing production of larger orthotic components, full-length insoles, foot orthoses, prosthetic shells, and orthotic shoe components.
UNILOCK clamping system: Thanks to the patented UNILOCK material-clamping mechanism, the frame opens and closes with a single handle (gas-spring assisted), and adapts automatically to material thicknesses from 0.1 mm up to 12.0 mm — no manual adjustment needed. This ensures ease of use, quick material change-overs, and reliable sealing for vacuum forming.
Integrated infrared heating: 12 infrared quartz heating elements (with reflectors and two-zone control) provide uniform, efficient heating of thermoplastic sheets, enabling consistent and accurate deep-drawing. Heating time is adjustable (30–199 seconds), with LED display for set and remaining time, and automatic shut-off when the cycle completes.
Powerful, maintenance-free vacuum system: Dual oil-free vacuum pumps (each 0.45 kW, 12 m³/h, two-stage) deliver stable suction, ensuring uniform forming even for large or complex shapes. Vacuum is automatically controlled: pumps activate when the frame is closed and maintain suction until forming is complete.
Built-in COOL-TEC cooling system: Special air-jet cooling cuts down cooling time of thermoplastic parts by up to 75%, greatly reducing cycle time and boosting production throughput — ideal for busy workshops or high-volume orthotic manufacturing.
Robust construction & workshop readiness: Solid frame with smooth vertical-lift frame guidance (16 steel-rail ball-bearings), adjustable central locking mechanism, integrated work-area illumination (halogen lights), external vacuum-outlet option, and compatibility with standard orthotics materials — making the 900 XR COOL-TEC a stable, reliable core of any O&P or custom-shoe workshop.
Typical Use Cases
Manufacturing custom insoles, footbeds, and shoe orthotic inserts — large-format or small-scale, as needed.
Producing foot orthoses, ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), prosthetic shells, braces, and other orthotic components where precision and consistency are critical.
Creating test shoes, trial shoes, or thermoformed orthotic shell prototypes, including work with composite materials or fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (e.g., carbon-fiber composites) when using compatible materials.
Workshops requiring efficient, high-throughput vacuum forming with reduced cycle times thanks to COOL-TEC — ideal for clinics, rehabilitation centers, orthotic labs, and small to medium-size manufacturing facilities.
Why VACUPRESS 900 XR COOL-TEC Stands Out
The 900 XR COOL-TEC represents one of the most comprehensive vacuum-forming solutions available for the orthotics, prosthetics, and custom footwear industries. By combining a large working frame with a user-friendly UNILOCK system, powerful vacuum, precise infrared heating, and rapid cooling — it enables consistent, repeatable thermoforming across a wide variety of applications. For professionals seeking full-scale capacity, versatility, and reliable performance in a single benchtop-style press — this is a premium, future-proof solution.
