The VACUPRESS 520 GK-LC DUAL is a cost-effective, bench-top vacuum thermoforming device designed for pair-wise and larger-part production — ideal for insole, footbed, and orthotic component manufacturing. Built to connect to an external vacuum source rather than its own pump, the DUAL version offers flexibility, simplicity, and scalability.  Key Features & Benefits Expanded working frame: The DUAL model offers a larger forming area compared to standard versions — allowing you to mold bigger or more complex shapes (e.g. full-length insoles, footbeds, orthotic shells, or small AFO components).  Pair-wise production for efficiency: Designed for pair-wise manufacturing, the unit streamlines production of matching left/right insoles or orthotic components — handy for clinics, workshops, and small-batch production.  External vacuum connection — no power required: Since the press relies on an external vacuum source, there’s no need for built-in motors or complicated electrical installation. This makes setup and maintenance simpler, and allows multiple presses to share a central vacuum supply.  Durable and workshop-ready build: Even though it’s a budget-oriented unit, the 520 GK-LC DUAL maintains high standards — with solid construction, a soft-bladder frame for material adaptation, and stable, even suction performance thanks to large vacuum hoses and reliable valve/ventilation design.  Compact footprint for flexible use: As a bench-top device, it fits well in small workshops, clinics, or shoe/orthotic-making studios — offering professional vacuum-forming ability without needing big industrial infrastructure.  Typical Use Cases Manufacturing custom or off-the-shelf insoles, footbeds, or orthotic shells in small- to medium-sized workshops. Pair-wise production of left and right insoles/orthotics to ensure matching geometry and quality. Forming larger orthotic components (e.g., foot orthoses, braces) that require more workspace than typical insole presses. Small-batch or custom production in orthopedic-shoe or prosthetic/orthotic labs — especially where flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and modest space are priorities. Why Choose VACUPRESS 520 GK-LC DUAL The 520 GK-LC DUAL combines capacity + flexibility + simplicity — offering a larger working frame for bigger or pair-wise projects, while staying accessible through external vacuum integration and compact design. For orthotic workshops, custom shoe makers, or clinics seeking reliable vacuum forming without large industrial investment, this unit represents a practical and scalable solution.

The VACUPRESS 520 GK-LC is a cost-effective, table-top vacuum deep-drawing (thermoforming) unit designed specifically for the production of insoles, footbeds, and other orthopedic/plastic-formed components. Its compact, no-frills design offers an accessible entry point into vacuum forming technology — ideal for smaller workshops, orthopaedic clinics, or custom footwear makers.  Key Features & Benefits Entry-level vacuum forming: As an economical “starter” unit, the 520 GK-LC provides reliable vacuum forming at a lower cost compared to fully integrated machines — great for small-scale production or workshops new to vacuum technology.  No integrated pump — external vacuum required: The unit connects to an external vacuum source rather than relying on built-in electronics or motors. This simplifies maintenance, reduces energy use, and enables multiple forming units to share a central vacuum supply.  Solid build with quality-standard components: Even though it’s budget-friendly, the 520 GK-LC includes professionally engineered features such as separately adjustable valves for vacuum and ventilation, integrated check valves, air filters, and large-diameter vacuum hoses for optimal suction performance.  Compact, easy to integrate: As a tabletop unit, it’s suitable for smaller workshops or clinics. Its manageable dimensions and weight make it easier to set up without major infrastructure changes.  Ideal for insole and small-part production: The frame size and soft bladder make it particularly suited for molding insoles, footbeds, and similar items — a perfect match for orthopaedic shoe production, foot orthoses workshops, and custom shoe makers.  Typical Use Cases Manufacturing custom or off-the-shelf insoles and foot-orthotics in a small- to medium-scale orthopedic workshop. Crafting footbeds and shoe-insole components for custom shoe builders or orthopedic-shoe technicians. Producing small vacuum-formed plastic or thermoplastic parts (e.g. orthotics, prosthetic shells, footplates) when connected to a shared vacuum system. Setting up a low-cost vacuum-forming station in a clinic, rehab center, or small orthotics lab — ideal for workshops working without heavy machinery or large power requirements. Why Choose VACUPRESS 520 GK-LC The 520 GK-LC strikes a balance between affordability, simplicity, and functional quality. It gives you vacuum forming capabilities suitable for orthopaedic and shoe-craft work without the complexity or cost of larger industrial units. For anyone seeking a reliable way to produce insoles, footbeds, or small orthotic parts — especially in smaller workshops or clinics — this machine offers a smart, practical, and future-proof entry into vacuum thermoforming.

The DUO-Digital NEO from VACUPRESS is a cutting-edge height measuring instrument engineered for orthopaedic-shoe technology, orthotics, prosthetics, and professional shoe finishing. It delivers instant, digital read-outs of height differences — offering millimeter-accurate measurements that help you confidently manage modifications, adjustments, and quality control.  Key Features & Benefits Digital precision at a glance: The device displays the exact height difference on a clear digital screen — enabling rapid, accurate comparison between two measurement states (e.g., before and after adjustments).  Highest accuracy for final adjustments: Ideal when adjusting ready-made or custom orthopedic/orthopaedic shoes — ensuring final products meet exact spec requirements.  Millimeter-accurate measuring results: Delivers precise and repeatable measurements — essential for consistent quality control across multiple pairs or production batches.  User-friendly operation: Intuitive controls and a clear display make the DUO-Digital NEO simple to operate — minimizing setup time and reducing risk of human error.  Versatile for workshop & clinic use: Suitable for small workshops, orthopaedic clinics, custom-shoe makers, and orthotics labs — anywhere high-precision height measurements are required. Typical Use Cases Measuring heel-height differences or sole-thickness adjustments in orthopedic or ready-made shoes. Quality-control checks to ensure both shoes of a pair match in height after adjustments. Verifying modifications (e.g., added insoles, heel lifts, orthotic inserts) for consistency across pairs or batches. Routine height measurement tasks in orthotics, prosthetics, custom-shoe manufacturing, or rehabilitation-support workflows. Why Choose DUO-Digital NEO The DUO-Digital NEO stands out because it combines precision + ease of use + reliability — giving you exact digital readings without the guesswork of manual measurement.
