Description
The VACUPRESS 1500 is a professional-grade vacuum thermoforming machine engineered for orthopedic technology-workshops, prosthetics/orthotics labs, and custom seating or lying orthoses production. Its robust design, large forming area, and powerful vacuum system make it ideal for handling heavy and large models — from seating shells and lying orthoses to complex orthotic/plastic components for adult patients.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Spacious forming frame for large parts: With frame dimensions of 1100 × 1500 mm, the VACUPRESS 1500 offers ample space to thermoform large shells, seating systems, braces, or orthotic bases — perfect for components that require significant surface area.
-
Ergonomic open-table design: The machine’s open, table-like construction results in a lower working height and better use of space under the work surface. This design simplifies the handling of large or heavy models — reducing strain and improving workflow efficiency.
-
Gas-spring–assisted foldable frame: The thermoforming frame is supported by two gas pressure springs, ensuring safe and easy opening/closing — which makes operation smoother and less labor-intensive, especially when working with heavy molds.
-
Powerful, maintenance-free vacuum system: Equipped with a dry-running, oil-free rotary-vane vacuum pump (capacity 40 m³/h, final pressure ~200 mbar) — offering strong, stable suction for consistent deep-drawing even on large or complex shapes.
-
Automatic vacuum-control automation: The machine automatically shuts off the pump when the target vacuum is reached, and reactivates when pressure drops — ensuring steady, reliable vacuum throughout the forming process without manual monitoring.
-
External-vacuum outlet for accessory stations: The VACUPRESS 1500 includes separate vacuum connections — enabling external vacuum workstations (e.g. for resin casting, socket pulling, or drape molding). All vacuum automation features apply — allowing remote control from external workstations.
-
Workshop-ready construction: Built for professional orthopedic, prosthetic, or custom-installation workshops. With robust frame, industrial-grade pump, and a design that accommodates heavy, large models — the 1500 is a reliable centerpiece for in-house vacuum forming operations.
Typical Use Cases
-
Manufacturing large seating shells and lying orthoses for adult or pediatric patients.
-
Creating full-size orthotic shells, braces, or structural plastic components requiring large-forming area and strong suction.
-
Working on custom prosthetic or orthotic devices, where repeatability, precision, and the ability to handle heavy molds are critical.
-
Supporting multi-step workflows — thermoforming shells, then finishing them, or integrating external vacuum-based resin casting or molding tasks via external vacuum outlets.
Why Choose VACUPRESS 1500
The VACUPRESS 1500 stands out when you need size, power, and reliability in vacuum-forming: it bridges the gap between small bench-top presses and industrial-scale units — offering a balance of large capacity, ergonomic design, and professional-grade suction performance. For orthopedic and orthotic workshops, prosthetic labs, or clinics that require forming large shells, seating molds, and structural components — the 1500 brings consistent, high-quality thermoforming capabilities.
