Descripción
The VACUPRESS Pre-Preg Oven PO1200 is a professional-grade convection heating oven specifically engineered for the demands of pre-preg composite processing, thermoforming support, and orthotic/prosthetic manufacturing workflows. Its large interior, precise temperature control, and intelligent heating management make it an ideal solution for curing, pre-heating and processing composite or thermoplastic materials — from small orthoses to larger shells and components.
Core Features & Benefits
-
Designed for pre-preg composite processing: PO1200 is purpose-built to meet the stringent requirements of pre-impregnated composite materials — allowing reliable curing and processing with vacuum bagging or mould-based forming.
-
Large, workshop-ready chamber: The oven interior measures approximately 1000 × 620 × 1200 mm, big enough to accommodate hanging moulds, large shells, or multiple parts at once — ideal for orthotic shells, prosthetic socket moulds, or larger thermoformed components.
-
Precision heating control via microprocessor & PID regulation: A microprocessor-based controller with touch-panel interface delivers accurate temperature regulation, ensuring reproducible curing cycles and material integrity — critical in composite and pre-preg workflows.
-
Material-temperature sensing & programmable cycles: A built-in mould/material sensor allows the oven to control heating based on the actual core temperature of the part — not just ambient air temperature. Combined with a Timer & Ramp function, the user can program custom heating profiles for different materials and parts.
-
Energy-efficient, adaptable chamber size: A three-zone segmentation system (with intermediate shelf) reduces the internal volume when processing smaller molds, lowering energy consumption and improving heating efficiency.
-
Vacuum integration ready: The PO1200 comes standard with 4 vacuum connectors and an external water-separator — enabling vacuum bagging or vacuum-assisted lamination directly inside the oven, a crucial feature for composite socket and shell fabrication.
-
Workshop-grade build & usability: Spacious double-door design for easy loading/unloading, stainless-steel interior finish, built-in lighting, and robust structure — ready for daily use in clinics, orthotic labs, prosthetic workshops, or composite manufacturing facilities.
Typical Use Cases
-
Curing pre-preg carbon-fiber or fiberglass composite shells for prosthetic sockets, AFOs, orthotic braces, or custom orthotic components.
-
Vacuum-bag processing of composite laminates — combining heating and vacuum in one controlled environment.
-
Pre-heating or post-curing thermoformed parts (e.g. orthotic shells, insoles, foot orthoses) to stabilize shape or prepare for finishing.
-
Processing multiple molds or larger parts in a single batch — useful for labs, clinics, and small- to medium-scale production workshops.
-
Supporting mixed workflows — from vacuum forming to composite lamination — providing flexibility for O&P, custom footwear, or prosthetic manufacturing environments.
Why Choose the PO1200 Oven
The Pre-Preg Oven PO1200 stands out because it brings precision, capacity, versatility, and process-control in one comprehensive solution — bridging the gap between standard heating ovens and full-scale industrial curing ovens. If you work with composites, require vacuum-assisted lamination, or need reliable, repeatable processing of thermoplastics and shells, the PO1200 is a future-proof investment that ensures consistent quality and efficiency in orthotics, prosthetics, and custom manufacturing.
