Description
The VACUPRESS 620 S3 COOL-TEC is a high-performance, bench-top vacuum thermoforming unit engineered for precision molding of insoles, foot orthoses, prosthetic shells, and small-to-mid sized orthotic components. Designed for use in orthopedic shoe technology, prosthetics/orthotics (O&P), and custom footwear production, it combines proven deep-drawing technology with modern enhancements for improved efficiency, accuracy, and workflow ergonomics.
Core Features & Benefits
-
Powerful, integrated vacuum & heating system — Equipped with a maintenance-free, oil-free vacuum pump and an infrared-quartz radiator heating unit that softens thermoplastic sheets for accurate deep drawing.
-
Patented UNILOCK frame system — Allows quick and safe clamping of material using a single lever. The system self-adjusts for different material thicknesses (typically from ~0.5 mm up to ~7 mm), making material setup fast and flexible without manual adjustments.
-
Large workable frame & bench-top build — Frame size around 600 × 450 mm, with overall machine footprint suitable for most workshops whilst still offering sufficient working area for insoles, foot orthoses, AFOs, and other orthotic shells.
-
Automatic vacuum & heating control — Vacuum pump activates automatically when frame is closed, maintaining stable suction pressure for consistent molding; heater is timer-controlled (preset 30–199 seconds) with clear LED indicators for set and remaining heating time.
-
Integrated cooling system — COOL-TEC — A built-in cooling feature using special adjustable air jets dramatically reduces cooling time of molded thermoplastics (up to ~75% faster than passive cooling). This speeds up throughput and increases productivity in busy workshops.
-
Built-in workspace lighting & accessory port — Includes integrated halogen lighting to better monitor the deep-drawing process, plus an additional side outlet for supplementary tools (e.g. heat guns or saws), improving workflow ergonomics.
-
Durable, workshop-grade construction — With robust steel frame, high-quality vacuum pump, reliable mechanical components, and effective air filtration — designed for daily use in orthopedic, prosthetic, or shoe-making environments.
Typical Use Cases
-
Production of custom or ready-made insoles, footbeds, and orthotic inserts for orthopedic footwear or custom shoes.
-
Manufacturing foot orthoses, AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses), prosthetic shells, and other thermoformed components in orthotics/ prosthetics labs.
-
Workshops requiring small- to mid-scale in-house production of orthotic parts, without investing in large industrial machines.
-
Custom footwear makers or clinics aiming for precise, repeatable vacuum forming with fast turnaround times — thanks to COOL-TEC accelerated cooling.
