Description
The VACUPRESS 850 is a robust vacuum forming press engineered for orthopaedic, prosthetic, and custom footwear workshops that require reliable, high-capacity deep-drawing for insoles, orthoses, sockets, and other thermoformed components. As a proven workhorse in the O&P field, the 850 delivers strong vacuum performance, sufficient forming area and responsiveness, making it ideal for both production and custom manufacturing environments.
Core Features & Benefits
-
Large working frame — Frame size of 850 × 685 mm gives ample workspace for larger molds, full-length insoles, foot orthoses, prosthetic shells and other sizable thermoformed parts.
-
Powerful vacuum pump & stable suction — Equipped with a rotary-vane vacuum pump (capacity ~ 25 m³/h) and vacuum tank buffer, ensuring stable and strong suction for clean, precise forming, even on larger or complex shapes.
-
Automatic vacuum control — The system automatically regulates vacuum: pump stops when nominal vacuum is reached and restarts if vacuum drops — providing consistent forming quality without manual monitoring.
-
External vacuum-outlet for additional workstations — Includes a separate vacuum connection for external vacuum applications (e.g., resin laminate work, socket pulling, drape molding), allowing flexible workshop configuration and expansion.
-
Durable build for professional use — Designed specifically for the orthopaedic and custom footwear sector — built to handle regular daily use in clinics, labs, or workshops, with reliable vacuum performance and robust mechanical construction.
-
Bench-mount design with manageable footprint — The overall machine dimension (approx. 960 × 1050 × 1070 mm) and weight (~145 kg) make the unit suitable for small to medium workshops without requiring large industrial floor space.
Typical Use Cases
-
Vacuum-forming insoles, footbeds, and orthotic inserts for orthopedic footwear or custom shoe manufacturing.
-
Molding foot orthoses, prosthetic shells, braces, AFOs, or other custom orthotic components that require stable suction and larger forming space.
-
Creating large thermoformed parts or plastic shells for medical/rehabilitation devices, where precision and repeatability are critical.
-
Workshops or clinics needing a reliable in-house deep-drawing press — particularly for small-to-medium batch production, custom orthotics, or frequent molding operations.
Why Choose VACUPRESS 850
The VACUPRESS 850 stands out as a powerful, flexible and dependable vacuum-forming press that bridges the gap between small benchtop units and large industrial machines. It offers a large forming area, consistent suction performance, and the reliability needed in orthotics, prosthetics, and custom footwear workshops. For businesses seeking a stable, high-capacity vacuum-forming solution capable of handling insoles, orthoses, and larger thermoformed parts — the 850 delivers strong performance with a manageable footprint and proven track record in the O&P field.
